What is Neer Social?
Neer Social is a social app for meeting others nearby, joining or creating events, sharing posts, and messaging new connections.
How do I create an account?
Download the app and sign up with your phone number, email, or Sign in with Apple. Then add your basic details, interests, and a profile photo to finish your profile.
Is my location shared with everyone?
No. Other people never see your exact location. If Show Location is on, they’ll only see an approximate distance, such as “Under 1 mi.” You can turn this off anytime in Settings > Location.
How do I enable location services?
Open iPhone Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Neer Social and choose While Using the App. To appear in Nearby Users, also turn on Show in Discovery in the app under Settings > Location.
What age do I need to be to use Neer Social?
You must be at least 18 years old to create a Neer Social account. You confirm your age when you sign up.
Can I use Neer Social without sharing my location?
Yes. When you first open the app, you can choose a general campus area or skip location entirely. If you already shared it, turn off Show in Discovery in Settings > Location; turning off iPhone location access alone keeps your last saved location.
How do I set up my profile for the first time?
Sign-up walks you through it step by step. Add your name, age, bio, interests, and a profile photo; a complete profile helps people get to know you.
How far away are the people I see?
Nearby Users shows an approximate distance, such as "3 miles away," never an exact location. People more than 250 miles away show a city and state instead, or just their state if they have Show as Nearby on.
Can I link my social media accounts?
Yes. Go to Settings > Edit Profile to add links to your social media profiles.
