Tap a question to see its answer.

Getting started

An app that matches you with people nearby who want a walking partner, then helps you meet them somewhere safe. You choose when, where, how fast and how long.

Yes. Walk With Meee is free to download and use on iPhone and Android. It shows a small number of ads.

Anyone aged 18 or over.

Open Find to see walkers near you on a map or a list. Each walker has a match score based on walking speed, preferred time, walk length and distance. Use Sort By to put the best matches first, or Filter By to narrow the list.

Tap a walker, then Request a walk. Choose the date, time, pace and length, and pick a meeting place. They’ll get a notification and can accept, decline or suggest a change. Once it’s agreed, you can chat in the app.

Your status tells others what you’re up to. Looking now: you’d like to walk soon. Looking ahead: you’re planning walks for later. Resting: you don’t appear in anyone’s search. Change it any time on the Me tab.

Safety and privacy

We suggest busy public meeting places likely to have cameras, such as shopping centres, supermarkets and libraries, halfway between you. Other walkers see only your first name and a rough distance. Photos and messages are checked for inappropriate content, and you can rate every walk, block anyone and report problems.

No. They see only a rough distance, rounded to the nearest kilometre or mile. We store your home area only to about 1 km, never the exact spot.

No, we never sell your data. We use a few trusted services to run the app, such as Google for maps and sign-in. Our Privacy Policy lists them.

Open their profile and tap Block: they can no longer see, find or contact you. To report a problem with a walk, use Report on that walk in Walks, and our team will look into it.
