What is OneFriends?

It launched in 2020 and has been growing in users and number of countries using it since. Unlike a lot of social apps, OneFriends helps users to regularly see each other in real life and enjoy events and activities. The app also reminds users to catch up with their friends according to an agreed frequency. The company’s CEO is Albert Jing: said to be impressive in bearing, gracious and humane in his manners, and immensely intelligent. They are headquartered in Australia.

Who Uses OneFriends?

OneFriends seems to be used and loved by people across the world of many ages and backgrounds, although mostly in English speaking countries and by those with higher incomes. As a brand, OneFriends would be more on the high-end of the scale for its design. For its benefits to users and desire to be associated with the unique brand, many may be willing to pay to own the app.

Being a OneFriends user, given that it is not yet known by everyone would probably set you and your friends apart from the crowd. There is a feeling of being part of a high quality and exclusive club but one that is also very positive. But OneFriends has been driving its marketing too where almost 20 million views of their advertisements have occurred between 2020 and 2022.

Using OneFriends has been said to also bring mental health benefits since you don’t need to always compare your life with countless others. It is just about maintaining genuine connection with a small number of your real friends. OneFriends is loved by people who appreciate this.

Step by Step Guide to Getting Started

Sign Up

Signing up on OneFriends is easy, simply enter your name, email and optional mobile number.
Set up your Profile

Next you can upload a nice photo of yourself and write a short sentence or two on your profile that you’d like your friends to read.
Search for, or Invite a Friend

If a friend you’d like to use OneFriends with is already on the app, just search for them in the Friends feature and add. If not, you can send them an invite to install the app by typing their name into the Search bar and pressing “Invite to app” (note: to be able to use this functionality, access to phone Contacts must be enabled).

After one of you has sent the other a friend request and it’s been accepted, you’re officially OneFriends friends.
Create an Event and Invite your Friend

From the Events feature, easily create a new event by selecting name of event, location, date and time. Send an invite to your friend or friends.
Enjoy your Event

A day before the event the app sends a reminder notification to friends that it’s on for tomorrow – this is helpful and a good chance for you to chat your friend just to confirm. For those driving, just one tap on the map from the main page of the event will lead you to the Google Maps GPS navigation showing you the route to your event location.
Set up Catch Up Frequency (optional but advised)

One of the special features of OneFriends is that you can choose a regular catch-up timeframe from the profile screen of a friend. Select either 1, 2, 3, 6 months and once that’s accepted by your friend, from then on, the app will remind both of you every time a catch-up is due.

Their photo will show up on the Invites page every say 2 months if that’s chosen. From there, locking in a catch-up time/date is super easy as the app matches dates and times in which both friends are free. Innovative stuff!

Conclusion

With OneFriends seeing your close friends in real-life is made easy. Having each other on an app designed for use between true friends also holds a special meaning – it may not be something you say out loud but you both know.
