F.A.Q

Sign up & Login

Can I sign up without Facebook?

Yes, you can! However, we still need a valid email address, a profile photo, your age, and location in order to form Tribes.

I can’t log in.

Try closing the app and opening it up again.  If that doesn’t work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Your tribes and conversations will not be lost.  Make sure you don’t confuse this with deleting your We3 account.

What’s the minimum age requirement?

The minimum age requirement is 17-years-old.

The app is freezing or crashes.

Try closing the app and opening it up again.  If that doesn’t work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Your tribes and conversations will not be lost.  Make sure you don’t confuse this with deleting your We3 account.

Will I lose my Tribes if I uninstall the app?

No. Your tribes and messages will still be there if you reinstall the app. Make sure you don’t confuse this with deleting your We3 account.

Users & Tribes

What is a Tribe?

A tribe is a group chat of 3 highly compatible people.  Users can have multiple tribes. Each tribe displays your shared traits, mutual interests and common goals.

I can’t start a Tribe!

Go to your Profile Tab and check your Profile Strength. You may be missing one or more of the requirements to start a Tribe. Make sure your push notifications are enabled. Here’s how to enable them on Android and on iOS.

I no longer want to be added to new Tribes.

Go into the app and switch off your availability. To do this, go to your Settings and toggle the switch that says “Available for Free Tribes”.

How can I form a new Tribe “on-demand”?

You need 10 tokens to start a Tribe search. If the search forms a pending Tribe, you’ll just need to wait for the others to join before you can chat with them. 

Can I be matched with people of the opposite sex?

At the moment, you can’t. We’re thinking of safe ways to do this without slipping into dating app territory. 

Can I match be matched with more than 3 people?

No. We believe 3 is the number that creates the optimal conditions for friendships to form.

Can I leave a Tribe that I don’t like or block someone?

Yes, you can do either or both. 

Can I merge Tribes?

Not at the moment.

One of my Tribes disappeared.

Try logging out and logging back in. If that doesn’t solve the issue, please contact us at [email protected].

Algorithm

What role do ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and other sensitive subjects play in determining who is matched with who?

Our algorithm incorporates those factors to the extent that it is confident that they will negatively affect the likelihood of a great friendship emerging.  This confidence is solely affected by a user’s responses on the subject.

How does the matching algorithm work?

We use a combination of social science and machine learning to match users who are most likely to become great friends.

Privacy & Safety

What do you do with my information?

To connect you with the most compatible people around you.  We will never sell your information to third parties.

What information can other people see about me?

Profiles are never public. Only the users that you have already matched with are able to see you.  They will be able to see your first name, age, and your profile picture. They will also be able to see any extra information you manually included in your profile, such as your work information, the school you attended, and the About Me section.  They do not have access to your email address, last name, telephone number, or your personality type.  

How do I report a user?

You can report a user directly in the app by going to the menu options inside a Tribe.

Profile & Settings

How can I change my profile photo?

Tap on the pencil icon on your current profile photo. Then, tap on “Change my Profile Photo”.

I can’t change my Discovery Parameters.

We are currently working on it. Sorry for the temporary inconvenience. It should be available in the upcoming version of We3.

How do I delete my account?

Go to Settings. Then, tap the “Delete my Account” button at the very bottom.  Keep in mind that all of your Tribes will be lost. 

If you wish to keep your Tribes, but don’t want to be added to new ones, simply change your availability to “Unavailable”. To do this, simply switch off your “Availability”.

Why does We3 need access to my camera or my photo library?

We need a profile photo to begin adding you to your Tribes. You can either upload one from your phone’s photo library or your camera.

Can I delete all my answers and start from the beginning again?

At the moment, there’s no way of doing this without losing your Tribes.  If you don’t mind losing them, simply delete your account and create a new one. To do this, go to your settings and press on “Delete Account” at the very bottom.

Messaging

My messages aren’t going through.

This may just be temporary, so try again at a later time. Make sure you are connected to the internet.  

How can I send a photo, GIF, video, contact card, my location, etc?

At the moment, you can only send text, photos, images, GIFs and emojis. Other forms of sending media will come in the future.

Can I message only one user in my tribe?

No. At the moment, you can only send messages to your Tribes.
