MeetMe is a very popular social media app that’s been around for a decade and counting. The app offers individuals a chance to meet others with similar interests and form meaningful relationships, or simply chat with others on both a national and international level.
If you are just getting started with this app, you may be wondering how to meet people on MeetMe and start connecting with those that share your interests. Our article gives you advice on completing this initial search process.
What Is MeetMe?
MeetMe is a popular social media app that started gaining popularity around 2012, though the company behind MeetMe was founded in 2005. The app offers individuals a chance to connect with others who might share the same interests as them and are searching for friendships or relationships.
The app is free to download and use with certain in-app purchases or upgrades you can make to enhance your MeetMe experience.
Searching for People on MeetMe
Searching for people on MeetMe is fortunately quite easy, thanks to the fact that this app is curated to help you find people you might have common interests with. There are two main ways to search for people on MeetMe – by username or by browsing the profiles of individuals near you.
● Both of these search methods start with you opening the MeetMe app on your smartphone or another device.
● Create an account or log into your account and navigate to the MeetMe search bar at the top of the app.
● From there, you can either type in a username to search or browse individuals around you after setting certain search filters, such as location.
Once you have found a person’s profile that you want to get to know better, you can send them a message. Other people will be able to search for you by browsing profiles, or if you give out your username, they will be able to type this into the search bar and connect with your profile this way.
Keep in mind that MeetMe no longer allows you to search by a person’s name – you must have the username of the person you are searching for or simply find someone you are interested in getting to know by browsing profiles in the location you specify.
How to Figure Out if Someone Has a MeetMe Account?
If you want to connect with someone on MeetMe but aren’t too sure if they have an account on this app, you can try an online people search tool first. An online tool (like information.com’s people search) will help you figure out all of the social media accounts that belong to a person’s name, phone number, or email address by running a simple public records search.
You can use the information returned to you to determine whether or not the person you are looking for has a MeetMe account, and, if they do have one, use the information to search for them and connect on this app.
Safely Finding MeetMe Connections
Like most other apps where you form new relationships, either friendly or romantic, it helps to be cognizant of safety tips. MeetMe can be a great way to search for people with similar interests or meet up with people you might be able to form meaningful relationships with, but you always need to use caution when meeting people from online in real life.
Several safety tips you can keep in mind when using MeetMe include:
● Keeping your personal information to yourself, including full names, address and education information, specific employment information, and bank account details.
● Never send money to people, especially if you have not met that person or confirmed their identity. More often than not, people who tell you lots of sob stories and continually ask for money are scammers and not interested in forming relationships.
● Always take online photos with a grain of salt – photoshop and filters are prominent in today’s world and people often edit their photos to give a different impression of their appearance.
● Meet up with anyone from the app in public, as this decreases your chances of unfortunate encounters and gives you a way out if you don’t get along with the person as well in real life.
● Block and report any scammer, catfisher, or other individuals who send out bullying and inappropriate messages. This helps you get rid of them and makes the app overall safer for every user.
