Findu — a simple way to find each other and stay connected
Tired of meeting friends without a clear address—or having an address in a city you don’t know? Try Findu. When both sides agree, you no longer need to keep pinging locations in other chat apps. Everything is clear on one relationship map.
When a group is heading to the same place but everyone is a different distance away, when is the smartest time to leave? The map shows where everyone is. When you need to meet, start drive, walk, or ride navigation from a friend’s location. In-app navigation is available inside China only.
Special attention: keep an eye on people you care about; when you’re out alone, family can know where you are—only if you allow it.
We just want life to be simpler. Life was meant to be this simple.

More
• Adjustable location strategy: use faster updates so friends see your progress more promptly, or longer intervals to save battery. Configure under Me → Location settings. • Background sharing: with Always location permission and sharing enabled, Findu can keep reporting at your chosen interval while in the background. Turn sharing off anytime. • CarPlay (iPhone only): after connecting to a car, view friends, and start navigation or open Live Follow from the phone or the car. • Languages: Simplified Chinese and English.
Location sharing, friends, and the map are free core features. Some messaging capabilities may require a one-time unlock—see in-app details.

Battery & GPS notice
Map refresh and friend location use GPS / location services. With sharing on and the app running in the background, Findu may use more power than typical apps and affect battery life. Extended GPS use drains the battery faster.
Depending on your settings, Findu may continue collecting location when the UI isn’t open (to share with authorized friends), which also increases battery use. Choose a suitable report interval and turn sharing off when you no longer need it.
Location may be delayed or inaccurate. Do not rely on Findu as your only safety or emergency tool.

Privacy
Location is sensitive. Findu shows it only within mutual consent and the permissions you configure. You can stop reporting anytime and adjust group or per-friend visibility. We don’t show your live location to unauthorized users, and we don’t sell your personal information.
