What you can do
Made for real connections
Discover nearby
See who’s around you on a simple grid sorted by distance. Filter for what matters to you and see who’s online now.
Chat naturally
Send messages and photos, reply to a specific message, react with an emoji and see when your message has been seen.
Share your moments
Post photos with a caption, get likes and comments, and choose who sees each post.
Private albums
Keep photos in a private album and open it to the people you choose. Changed your mind? Take access back at any time.
Community and connections
Follow people with their approval, keep a close-friends list and start group chats.
Privacy-conscious location
Your location is rounded on our servers. Other people see an approximate distance — not where you are.
Safety and moderation
Report profiles, posts, comments and messages, block anyone, and know that profile and post photos are reviewed before they appear.
Nearby, done carefully
Close by — without giving away where you are
- Rounded on the server
- Your coordinates are reduced to an area of about 550 m, and only that area is stored. Your exact coordinates aren’t kept.
- Approximate distance
- Other people see the distance between two rounded areas. Under 500 m, HIMO simply shows “< 500 m”.
- You stay in control
- Hide your distance, go incognito or turn location off — the rest of HIMO keeps working.
Sharing your exact location in a chat is always your choice, one message at a time.
Messages
Conversations that feel natural
- Text, photos from your library or camera, and your location when you choose to share it.
- Reply to a specific message and react with an emoji.
- See when a message has been delivered and seen.
- Unsend a message and it’s deleted from the server for both of you.
Private albums
Shared on trust
Your private album isn’t part of your profile. Only the people you open it to can see it, and you can take access back whenever you like.
Saving or passing on photos from someone else’s private album breaks our rules and can get an account closed.
Like all content on HIMO, album photos are subject to moderation, as described in our Privacy Policy. Read the Privacy Policy
Safety
A safer place to be yourself
HIMO is for adults, and for real connections. We built the tools to keep it that way.
Block anyone
People you block can’t see you or message you — and you won’t see them.
Report in a tap
Report a profile, post, comment, message or album photo from right where you see it.
Moderation
Profile and post photos are checked automatically before others see them, and reported content is reviewed by our team.
18+ only
Your date of birth is required when you sign up, and accounts under 18 are refused.
Privacy
Your privacy, explained plainly
- We don’t sell your data, and HIMO has no advertising trackers.
- Photos load only through signed links that expire.
- Data travels over encrypted connections (TLS).
- Delete your account at any time, from the app or by email.
Messages on HIMO are not end-to-end encrypted. Authorized HIMO staff can access content when it’s necessary to keep people safe, provide support or meet legal obligations — the Privacy Policy explains exactly when.
