Question 1

How does Radius find people nearby?

Accepted Answer

Radius uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to detect other Radius users in your vicinity. When your Bluetooth is on and the app is open, it broadcasts a unique signal that other devices can detect. This allows you to see who's nearby without using GPS or sharing your location.

Question 2

Is my location tracked by Radius?

Accepted Answer

No! Radius never tracks your GPS location. We only use Bluetooth to detect proximity to other users. This means you're only visible to people who are physically near you, and your location data is never stored or shared.

Question 3

What is the Guess Me game in Radius?

Accepted Answer

Guess Me is an anonymous icebreaker game where you can chat with a nearby user without knowing who they are. You try to guess each other's identity through conversation. If you both enjoy the chat, you can reveal yourselves and connect!

Question 4

Is Radius free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Radius is completely free to download and use. All core features including discovery, messaging, groups, and the Guess Me game are available at no cost.

Question 5

What are Nearby Groups in Radius?

Accepted Answer

Nearby Groups use Bluetooth to create temporary group chats for spontaneous meetups. When you create a nearby group, your device automatically detects and adds users around you. Perfect for events, gatherings, or any situation where you want to chat with everyone nearby!

Question 6

How close do I need to be to discover someone on Radius?

Accepted Answer

Radius can detect users within approximately 10 meters (about 30 feet). The app categorizes proximity as 'Very close' (0-1m), 'Nearby' (1-3m), and 'Far' (3-10m) based on Bluetooth signal strength.
