Meeting people safely when you go from app to in-person
Simple, non-negotiable safety habits for meeting someone new — meet in public, share your live location, and trust your instincts.
Meeting someone in person is the whole point — and it should always be on your terms. A few habits make it safe and easy.
Always meet in public
Coffee shops, parks, campus spots. Ping suggests public meetup spots near the midpoint between you.
Share your Ping
Before you head out, use Share my Ping to send your live location to a friend right inside the chat.
Trust your gut
If something feels off, leave. Report and block are one tap away, and Ping auto-suspends accounts that rack up reports.
