Frequently asked questions

Mingle Meetup IRL is a social app for meeting people nearby who share your interests and hobbies. Join events, clubs and plans happening around you - it's the place where people connect and real friendships are made.

No, Mingle Meetup IRL is not a dating app; it is about friendship and community. There's no swiping and no matching: you meet people the natural way, by doing things together or attending events and clubs nearby.

You start by creating an account and building your profile with some basic questions about you and your interests. Then you can browse people, clubs and events nearby that you are interested in. Join whatever catches your eye, chat with people going to events, and turn up - the rest happens the way it always has; in person.

There are multiple ways to meet new people on Mingle Meetup IRL; you can join an event happening near you, become part of a club that meets regularly, or connect directly with people who share your interests. Most friendships in the app start by simply showing up to something.

Clubs are communities built around a shared interest - a running crew, a book club, a five-a-side group, anything. Join a club and you get access to the group chat and upcoming events, so meeting the same people regularly is easy. Alternatively, you can create your own club and build a community around something you are interested in.
