Messaging service provider Telegram boosted a feature allowing users to find people nearby, in an effort to encourage connection following the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

In a statement, the company said users will be able to find how close their new contacts are and initiate a chat session with them.


Telegram said it was time for people to make acquaintances, as they were “carefully emerging into this brave new world”, suggesting the move was motivated by the social distancing measures recommended globally in an aim to confine the outbreak.

 
With Facebook and WhatsApp being merged more closely how long before it becomes standard on all these messaging platforms?

Like ayoba, Viber, Line, Signal ect?
 
Eish, stalkers are going to love this...

Worst (or best, depending on your pov) stalking potential is Polar's running app. You of course have a profile with a photo, and then you share your runs, with the time and the route on a map.
I always wonder how many hot women suddenly notice a lot of single guys running at the same time they do after sharing this info...
