and your trusted contacts get your location

Safety first

Meet new people.
Feel safe doing it.

Selfie verification

Every walker on the map has matched a live selfie to their photo.

Home stays hidden

We blur where you start and finish. Others only see your rough area.

Share your walk

Send your live location to someone you trust for the length of a walk.

Block and report

One tap, from any profile or chat. Reviewed by real people.

Your location

Your location,
your rules.

Waka asks to use your location so it can map your walks and show you people walking nearby. Here is exactly what we use it for, and how we look after it.

Map your walk

Distance, pace and your route, so every walk counts toward your plan.

Find walkers near you

We show you people walking nearby, and show you to them only as a rough area.

Keep you safe

Share your live walk with someone you trust. SOS sends your location to your trusted contacts.

You see your exact position and full route.

Who can see me

Only while you use Waka

We ask for “While using the app”, never “Always”. Your phone shows when location is on.

Never your exact spot

Other walkers see your rough area, not the street you're on.

Home and work stay private

The start and end of every route are hidden from everyone else.

You choose who sees you

Everyone nearby, buddies only, or hidden. Change it any time, even mid-walk.

Never sold

We don't sell your location or share it with advertisers.

Say no and still walk

Without location, Waka still counts your steps and runs your plan. The map waits until you're ready.

Questions

Good to
know.

Everyone on the map is selfie-verified, your exact home is always hidden, and walks start with a request the other person has to accept. You can share your live location with someone you trust, block or report in one tap, and hit SOS to call 112.
