Blink — friends location

Blink is the ultimate interactive map app that lets you stay connected with your friends in real-time. It not only shows their location but also gives you updates on their phone charge, how fast they’re moving, and what they’re up to. 

Friends Location Tracker

Blink helps you keep tabs on your friends' whereabouts by showing their location in real time. The app provides constant updates on your friends’ movement and direction, so you can always know where they are and what they’re doing. If your friends are nearby, you’ll receive notifications so you can make spontaneous plans. If they’re traveling, Blink will even tell you how fast they’re moving. If you need some privacy, simply activate freeze mode to stop sharing your location temporarily.

Audio and Video Calls

No matter how far apart you are, Blink keeps you close. You can make audio and video calls to your friends or family members directly within the app. It’s the perfect way to stay in touch and enjoy real-time conversations, whether you’re catching up on life or just having a casual chat. 

Check-ins and Sharing Life Moments

The Check-in feature is all about sharing stories and experiences with your friends. Whether you're at a cool restaurant, attending a party, or exploring a new city, you can share your location and post pictures or stories about your visit. Your friends will get notifications about your activities, and they can comment on your posts, making it a fun and interactive way to stay updated on each other’s lives.

Bumps: Find Friends Nearby

One of the unique features of Blink is Bumps. This allows you to find friends who are nearby and easily meet up in person. Simply activate the Bumps feature, shake your phone, and if your friend is in the vicinity and has Blink enabled, you’ll both be notified and can connect instantly. This feature is perfect for spontaneous meet-ups or when you want to check if your friends are in the same area.

Step Counter & Challenges

Add some friendly competition with Blink's step counter! Track your daily steps and challenge your friends to see who can take the most steps. This feature adds an element of fitness to the app, helping you stay active while staying connected to your social circle. You can also share your step count and challenge each other, making it a fun way to stay motivated.

Private Messaging and Stickers

In addition to tracking your friends' location, Blink also allows you to send private messages and exchange stickers. Whether you want to chat about your day, share thoughts, or send fun stickers to brighten up your friend's day, Blink offers plenty of options for private communication.

Interactive Audiostickers

The fun doesn’t stop with text. Blink offers exciting Audiostickers, a unique feature that lets you send fun, bright, and interactive audio-based stickers to your friends. These soundmojis make your conversations even more lively and expressive, adding a playful touch to your interactions.
