Wakie is full of members eager to interact and make friends. 55% of older Wakie members say they found one or several real friends here. When you open up and express your true self you click with someone who feels exactly the same and that is a great foundation to start a great friendship.

Find friends quickly by browsing your feed and posting comments on topics that interest you or by creating a topic of your own. Once you come across other members who appeal to you, you can visit their profile and choose "send message" to initiate a private message. Please note that private messages are more positively received when you've already shared a thoughtful comment on a member public post or come across topics of theirs that you share an interest in and include in your message.

Sometimes you create topics such as those around travel that you'd like targeted to receive responses from members living in certain countries. You can restrict those who see your topics based on the country they live in by visiting your privacy settings. To access your privacy settings visit your profile by clicking on the icon on the far right of your footer navigation, then choose the settings icon on the top right hand corner (on Android) or top left (on iOS). From here you'll find "privacy settings".
