How do I find a walking buddy on Walk With Me?

Open the live map to see walks and walkers near you. Filter by pace, terrain, and schedule to find someone who walks like you do. Request to join their walk or create your own and let others find you.

Can I filter walking buddies by pace and schedule?

Yes. You can filter walks by pace (casual, moderate, brisk, competitive), terrain (urban, park, hiking, beach), and duration. Scheduled walks also show times so you can find walks that fit your routine.

Is it safe to meet a walking buddy from the app?

Walk With Me has 10 layers of safety. Your location is offset by 200 meters, walk hosts approve every join request, blocking is instant and invisible, and reports are reviewed within 24 hours. Group walks reduce one-on-one pressure.

How does walking buddy matching work?

There is no algorithmic matching. You browse a live map of walks near you, filter by pace and terrain, and choose who to walk with. Over time, you add people you enjoy walking with as friends to build a trusted network.

What if my walking buddy stops showing up?

You are not locked into anyone. Walks are scheduled one at a time unless you set them to repeat, so if someone stops turning up you simply join or host different ones. Walk history and ratings make it easy to see who reliably shows.

Do I have to walk with the same buddy every time?

No. Some walkers keep one regular buddy, others join whichever walk suits their day. Both work: you can add people as friends to see their scheduled walks, or browse the map fresh each week without any commitment.
