No fake profiles
Every profile belongs to a real person. No bots, and no guessing who’s on the other side of the screen.
Safety at Friending
Meet with confidence.
Meeting someone new should feel good. So every Friending member is ID-verified. And FriendingGO, the little cat on your keys, can call for help in three clicks.
Every member is ID-verified.

Real. Verified. Safe.
Real people, every one of them ID-verified. And with FriendingGO, help within reach.
Verified
Everyone here is who they say they are.
Every member verifies a government-issued ID to join Friending. No verification, no membership. So when you meet someone here, you know they’re real.
- A government ID check for every member.
- Until someone is verified, they can’t see members, and members can’t see them.
- Your ID stays private. Our verification partner tells us only whether it passed.

When it matters
For the moments you can’t reach for your phone.
If you’re in danger
Your phone can be taken. Your cat stays with you.
In a bad moment, a phone is often the first thing to go. FriendingGO hangs on your keys or your bag. As long as your phone is still close by, three clicks send your alert.
If you just want out
A quiet way out of a bad date.
It doesn’t have to be an emergency. Three clicks under the table and your friend gets “Can you come get me?” with your location. Nobody sees you reach for your phone.

Good to know
Honest about what it can do.
It works through your phone
Your cat talks to your phone over Bluetooth. For an alert to go out, your phone has to be nearby, turned on and connected.
It’s a backup, not 911
If you can call 911, call. FriendingGO is for the moments you can’t get to your phone.
It’s on the way
FriendingGO is expected in summer 2027. Details may change before it ships.
Questions
Safety, answered.
Is every member really ID-verified?
Yes. Every member verifies a government-issued ID to join. Until an account is verified, it can’t see other members and isn’t shown to them.
Who sees my ID?
Only our verification partner. They check your document and tell us whether it passed. We never see or store it.
Does FriendingGO share my location?
Not in everyday use. A match only means someone is close by. Your location is sent only when you send a safety alert, and only the way you set it up: to your trusted contacts, to members nearby or to the service you chose.
What if someone takes my phone?
Your cat stays on your keys or your bag. As long as your phone is still within Bluetooth range, turned on and connected, three clicks send your alert. If your phone is out of range or offline, the alert can’t go out.
Can I send an alert without anyone noticing?
Yes, that’s the idea. Three clicks on the cat, in your pocket or under the table. Your phone stays where it is.
Does FriendingGO replace 911?
No. If you can call 911, call. FriendingGO is a backup for the moments you can’t get to your phone.
When can I get FriendingGO?
It’s expected in summer 2027. Preorder now and your price is $30 instead of $59, with nothing to pay up front.
