Adding Friends
There are several ways to find and connect with people on SeeUThere. The app makes it easy to discover friends while respecting everyone's privacy.
Search by Username
The most direct way to find someone is by searching for their username:
Open the Friends Tab
Navigate to the Friends tab in the bottom navigation bar of the app.
Use the Search Bar
Type at least 3 characters of their username in the search bar. The app will automatically search as you type.
The search automatically excludes people who are already your friends or have pending friend requests, so you'll only see relevant results.
Send Friend Request
Tap the "Add Friend" button next to their name to send a friend request.
Wait for Response
They'll receive a notification about your request and can accept or decline it. You can withdraw the request anytime before they respond.
Users can only be found if they allow username searches in their privacy settings. Some users may choose to be discoverable only through contact syncing.
Managing Friend Requests
The Friends screen shows both incoming and outgoing friend requests:
- Incoming Requests: People who want to be your friend appear in the "Pending Requests" section
- Accept/Decline: Use the green checkmark to accept or red X to decline requests
- Sent Requests: View requests you've sent and cancel them if needed
- Notifications: Get notified when someone responds to your requests
Friend Activity Status
Once you have friends, you can see when they were last active. Each friend shows a color-coded status indicator along with their last activity date:
In addition to the color-coded status, you can see the exact date when each friend was last active in the app. This helps you know who's currently engaged and who might need a reminder about upcoming events.
