Friend codes & adding friends

Invite code vs. friend code

They sound the same but do different jobs:

• An invite code brings a brand-new person onto boopr. You spend one to get a friend onto the app in the first place. That's the signup flow.
• A friend code connects you with someone who's already on boopr, so their posts show up in your feed and yours in theirs.

So you invite someone once to get them in, then you each add the other as a friend. Often both happen the same day, which is why they blur together.

How to add a friend

1. Pull up your friend code

   Open boopr and find your friend code. You can read it out to someone, or let them scan its QR code.

2. Trade in person or by QR

   Swap codes face-to-face or scan each other's QR. It's deliberately a real-world handoff. There's no searching for people by name, phone, or email.

3. Approve the connection

   You confirm before anyone's connected. Nobody lands in your feed without your say-so, and you can remove a connection later.

Why it works this way

boopr has no "people you may know," no follower counts, and no contacts upload. The only way someone ends up in your feed is that you both added each other on purpose.

Your friend list also never leaves your phone. It isn't stored on our servers, so not even we can see who your friends are.
