Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add friends on Waffle?
To add friends on Waffle, you need to meet them in person. One person shows their QR code (tap the QR icon in the app), and the other person scans it. The codes refresh every 5 seconds for security, so both people need to be present.
What are Founding Friends?
Founding Friends is a one-time feature for new users. Within 7 days of creating your account, you can add up to 5 friends from your phone contacts who already have Waffle accounts. This helps you get started while you meet new people in person.
How do Introductions work?
If you see someone interesting in a friend's comments or posts, you can request an introduction. Your mutual friend will be notified, and if they approve, a group chat opens with all three of you. This lets you meet new people through trusted connections.
What is Lonely Together?
Lonely Together helps users who are new to the app or want to expand their network find others nearby who are also looking to meet people. It's completely opt-in and you can disable it in your privacy settings.
How do I create an event?
Go to the Events tab and tap "Create Event". You'll get a unique QR code for your event. Anyone who scans the event QR code will be connected with you and all other attendees who scanned it. Perfect for parties, meetups, or conferences.
Can I control who sees my posts?
Yes. Each post can be set to visible to all friends, only specific friends, or only you. You can also set default visibility in your settings. Additionally, you can hide your online status and location from others.
How do I report a user?
Tap on the user's profile, then tap the three dots menu and select "Report". Choose the reason for your report and provide any additional details. Our team reviews all reports and takes appropriate action.
How do I delete my account?
Go to Settings > Account > Delete Account. You'll be asked to confirm, and then your account and all associated data will be permanently deleted. This action cannot be undone.
