PRIVACY / THIRD-PARTY AI

What may be sent

Allowing enables these OpenAI-dependent features for this sign-in. You can optionally remember approval for your account on future sign-ins, until you turn it off or this disclosure changes. Before signing in, permission covers only account-creation safety checks; the new account needs its own approval. Declining leaves these actions off; the map and features that do not need this processing remain available.

This does not enable optional photo AI memory or community learning. Those remain separate choices.

Change this choice in AI processing settings in your preferences. Turning it off removes remembered approval and stops future gated requests on this browser or app session; it cannot recall data already sent or cancel processing already underway.

OpenAI handles submitted data under the applicable service terms and data controls. This permission is not a promise of zero retention or a guarantee about model training. Read the privacy policy.

Where to start in the appMenu → Community & hunts → Friends & Messages
  1. 01

    Find the hunter

    Open Friends & Messages and choose Add Friend. Search by name or username and inspect the matching profile before sending a request.

  2. 02

    Review requests

    Use Requests to accept or decline friend requests and review message requests. A first message to someone who is not a friend may wait for their acceptance before more messages can be sent.

  3. 03

    Open a conversation

    Choose Message beside an accepted friend. Write the message and check delivery status. If sending fails, use the shown retry control.

  4. 04

    Manage your circle

    Use Remove friend or Block hunter when needed. The block list offers an Unblock control. Friendship does not automatically reveal your private pins or live location.
