We3: Meet New People in Groups

I discovered We3 online and I was excited upon seeing its concept and all. I used over half an hour to complete all the tests before then I was prompted to download the app and then put a profile picture amongst other things. The app asked me for my location and immediately I accepted my account got blocked. This is absolutely unfair. I wasn’t using a Vpn or malicious software or anything like that. I live in and I’m a Nigerian and I understand that while some people in my country might be terrible and use apps like these to do bad stuff, not everyone who downloads the app is an awful person. Blocking my account because im in nigeria, even before I got to do anything while claiming its an app to meet people no matter where you are in the world doesnt make any sense. I tried contacting customer service and I only received an automated response and I am yet to receive a proper one after several days. This hurt me deeply, as I was totally honest in my registration and all and super excited to use this app because a lot of the other friendship apps are always look centred and this one wasn’t. Now i cant even befriend people because a corporation assumes a 16 year old teenage girl who just wants to yap about David Bowie to be a scammer. So unfair.

I have met a few people using this app. Some I have a lot in common with…others more superficiality matched. However, I have still never seen a third person actually join. It winds up bring me and 1 other. And, that’s actually fine as I’m not matching any local friends so the awkwardness is not really there for a messaging only relationship. The thing I’m skeptical about is how I can have a huge list of compatible people but none of them are compatible with each other? Seems unlikely. It will never, ever let me choose a third person to invite. Idk if it’s maybe a bug or if I wish there was a way to acknowledge that a group is only 2 and choose to accept or invite anyway. I see some people that I am really interested in talking to based on interests and goals but there is no way for me to contact them. Only the app generated groups seem to work. Furthermore, one time I had selected a person to start a group with, it was sitting open saying there are no matches for a third person, and a couple days later the app invited me to a separate group it generated with that same person in it. My original incomplete group with them in it was still sitting open. Something seems sus.

The way that they match you up with others I feel is going to give you the most lasting relationships. It matches you based on interests, personality traits, goals in life, etc and gets to know what things are deal breakers in a relationship that you could never be friends with someone of a certain quality. It’s easy to use except for (and this is my only complaint) how the messages don’t work well. It doesn’t show when the message was sent until a day or two later. Which on its own isn’t that big of a problem but the notifications for the messages don’t work well either. Sometimes I’ll get a notification saying that someone messaged me but then there’s nothing there and it shows up like an hour later. I’m also not sure if MY messages are going through because there’s nothing saying that it delivered. Overall I think this is an amazing way to make new friends
