Can other people see my exact location?

No. Members see your city and an approximate distance. Precise coordinates are never exposed.

Can I type a fake city?

The city field is filled from your device location and is read-only, so casual spoofing is not possible.

Will blocked people appear in my results?

No. Blocking is mutual and removes both of you from each other's discover results.

Does distance matching also affect video matching?

Video matching prioritises interests and intention. Distance is a discover feature, so you can meet people far away by call and local people by browsing.

Find queer people near you, at the distance you choose

Discover on TrueVibe shows other members inside a radius you control, anywhere from 10 km to 1000 km. Your city is set once from your device location and used to calculate approximate distance; your precise coordinates and street address are never shown to anyone. Each result shows a profile photo, display name, city and shared tags, with buttons to message, start a video call or ask for album access.

What is distance matching?

Ranking and filtering people by how far away they are, calculated from a city-level location rather than a live GPS trail. It answers 'who is near enough to meet' without turning your movements into a feed.

How your location is handled

Your city is captured once, when you tap 'Use my location' during sign-up. It is stored as a city name with approximate coordinates and can be refreshed, but it is never shared as a live position.

No live tracking and no location history
Other members see a city, not a street or a pin on a map
Distance is approximate and rounded, not metres-accurate
You can browse at a 1000 km radius if you do not want local results at all

What a discover result shows

Profile photo and display name
City and approximate distance from you
Pronouns, identity tags and what they are looking for
Shared interests highlighted so you can see the overlap at a glance

What you can do from a result

Send a direct message, including photos
Start or request a one-to-one video call
Open the public albums they have published
Ask for access to a private album, which they can grant or refuse
Block, which removes them from your discover results permanently
