GlobsieFriends
Travel together, privately.
Friends is for the people you actually travel with. There are no strangers, no followers and no public profile: just the friends you鈥檝e both accepted, the trips you choose to share, and theirs.
How it works
Four steps, all of them yours.
Add each other
Type a friend鈥檚 exact username or scan their QR code. They accept, and you鈥檙e friends. Nobody can browse the list of members.
Share a trip
Trips start as Only me, unless you change that in Settings. Switch one to Friends when you want them to see it, and back whenever you like.
Pick what goes out
Tick the journal days friends can read, and tap any photo to leave it out. Exact dates, and trips you鈥檙e still on, are shared only if you say so.
Hearts and comments
Friends see your trip in their feed as a photo post, leave a heart or a comment, and you hear about it. Each kind of notification has its own switch.
What friends see
Only what you share. Nothing more.
This is the same list as in the privacy policy, in plain words.
Your friends can see
- Your name, your username, and a profile photo and cover photo if you add them.
- For each trip you switch to Friends: its title, countries and cities, the month and year, its rating, category and cover picture.
- Only the journal days you tick, with their text and the photos you leave in.
- How many countries, cities, days and trips you鈥檝e travelled, how many friends you have, and which countries, unless you turn that off.
- The countries on your wishlist, unless you turn that off. Never a wish鈥檚 dates or notes.
- Hearts and comments on a trip, with the names of the people who left them.
- The exact days of a trip, only if you choose to show them.
They never see
- Trips you haven鈥檛 shared.
- Map coordinates of any place.
- Your goals, or a wish鈥檚 dates and notes.
- Your email address, date of birth or gender.
- Where a photo was taken: shared photos are re-encoded without their location.
- A trip you鈥檙e still on, until it鈥檚 over, unless you share it while you鈥檙e there.
Friend profiles
Their world, next to yours.
A friend鈥檚 profile shows their numbers, the trips they shared as a grid, a globe you can turn with the countries you鈥檝e both been to, and their wishlist with the places you both want to go.
- Tap a country only they鈥檝e been to, and it鈥檚 on your wishlist.
- Everything they鈥檝e shared with you, in one list.
Safety
You decide who finds you.
Hide me
With Hide me on, only someone who scans your code can find you or send a request. Making a new code stops every older one from working.
Report
Report any shared trip, photo or person from the app. Reports are reviewed within 24 hours, and nobody is told who reported them.
Block
Block anyone from their profile. They aren鈥檛 told, and neither of you can see or find the other.
Take it back
Switching a trip back to Only me, or unticking a day or a photo, deletes what was shared. Removing a friend ends what each of you sees.
Codes, not lists
A partial name finds nobody, and your contacts are never uploaded. People find you by your exact username or your code.
Clear rules
No harassment, hate, nudity, violence or spam. Content that breaks the rules is removed and the account behind it can be closed.
The rules are in the Terms of Use, and what鈥檚 stored, where, is in the privacy policy.
Bring your travel friends.
Globsie is coming soon to iPhone. Friends is built in, free, with no ads.
