Bored? Talk to someone nearby

Phone in hand, every app already checked, and time is crawling. Instead of scrolling with no point, open Gryb, tap Search and talk by voice with someone near you who is just as bored

Boredom ends with a good conversation

Scrolling fills time but does not change your mood. A real conversation with someone who answers and laughs with you does. On Gryb that conversation is by voice, so it moves fast and feels natural, like talking with one of your friends

No planning needed. There are no messages waiting for a reply: tap Search and you are on a call as soon as you both accept. If the conversation is not for you, end it and search for another

What to talk about?

The best part is that the person you get is close by, so you have things in common from the start. A few ideas to open with:

• What is the best restaurant or coffee place you tried around here lately?
• Where do people go on weekends around here these days?
• Who is winning tonight's match?
• Know a good camping spot nearby?
• What series or podcast are you into right now?
• If you had tomorrow off, where would you go?
• What is the best local dish in your city?

If you enjoy the conversation, add them as a friend and pick it up later with messages, photos or another call

When are more people around?

Gryb connects you with people searching at the same moment, and there are usually more in the afternoon and evening. If nobody is close, we widen the search little by little. Turn on notifications and we will let you know when someone nearby starts a search, so you can jump in while you are bored

Good to know before you start

• Choose who you talk to. Before you search, you choose who you would like to talk to
• No phone number or email. And you choose the name people see
• Block and report in one tap. If someone bothers you, block or report them
• Adults only. Gryb is for people 18 and over
