Social

Kwipoo is more than just a way to track your Things—it’s a tool for connecting with people who share your interests, helping you borrow, lend, discover, and chat about gear. Whether you’re coordinating a trip, finding the perfect gift, or just keeping up with friends, the Social features in Kwipoo are here to help.

Why Use Things?

Finding & Adding Friends

Go to your Profile (bottom nav bar, rightmost icon).
Tap Find Friends.
Start typing in the search bar to look up users by username or name.
Select a user to view their profile.

Sending a Friend Request

If the user is not already your friend, their profile will show a Send Friend Request button.
Tap "Send Friend Request" to send them a request.
If their profile is private, you won’t see their Things, Sets, or Places until they accept.

Viewing Your Friends

Go to your Profile.
Tap Friends (X) to open your friends list.
Use the search bar to find a specific friend.
Tap a friend’s name to view their profile.

Removing a Friend

Viewing & Interacting with Other Users

Viewing Friend's Profiles

Tap on a friend’s name from your Friends List to view their profile.
If they have shared Things, Sets, or Places with Friends visibility, you’ll be able to see them.

Viewing Non-Friend's Profiles

If you find a user via Find Friends, you can view their profile.
If their account is Public, you can see their Things, Sets, and Places.
If their account is Private, you’ll only see a Send Friend Request button and won’t be able to view any of their items until they accept your request.

Messaging & Chat

Kwipoo’s chat features make it easy to stay in touch and coordinate with friends. You can start direct conversations with any user or join event chats to keep communication organized.

Accessing the Chat Center

Go to your Profile.
Tap Chat Center to see a list of all your chats.
Direct Chats – One-on-one messages with friends.

Starting a Direct Chat

If not, a new chat thread will be created.

Using Event Chats

When you join or create an Event, an event chat is automatically created.
You can access Event Chats from the Chat Center or through the Event Details.

Privacy & Control

Kwipoo gives you full control over who can see your Things, Sets, and Places.
