About this app

Make friends, chat, and have fun with penpals from all over the world.
Share whatโ€™s on your mind
* Write a message, put it in a bottle & throw it in the sea for someone to find!
* Meeting new friends and finding support has never been so simple
* Hop aboard our growing community of over 3.5M users
Bottled is building a positive and supportive community, away from the toxicity prevalent in Social Media.

Try the modern version of sending a message in a Bottle - a new way to meet people, have fun, and have meaningful conversations!

This is how it works:

1) You write a nice message, put it in a bottle, and throw it to the sea. Your bottle will be randomly received by someone, somewhere in the world.
2) If that person decides to keep the bottle, you have a new friend and you can start chatting with each other!
3) And if your message gets released, your bottle will float back into the sea to be received by another random stranger!

On Bottled you can:
- Send a photo, voice, or text message to someone somewhere in the world.
- Follow the journey of your Bottles in real time
- Play "Spin the Bottle" for fun questions and challenges and chat with your new friends from all over the world!

Don't know where to start? Let our "ChatGPT powered" Cheeky Captain help you write a nice message!

Whether you are looking for a new friend, a penpal, positive support, or a genuine intellectual connection, let serendipity decide your chance encounters with Bottled!

Slowly or instantly, you chat at your own pace and without pressure; improve your wellbeing and mental health on this supportive community. *** If you need assistance, do not hesitate to contact us at contact@bottledapp.com ***

I love the concept of this app, and have had a great time using it in free time or when I am bored! It's a great way to learn about so many different types of people when you're unable to travel and learn yourself, and it helps to learn a bit more of how to engage others in unfamiliar settings! The mechanics are also very pleasant to use and look at! overall a great experience for anyone looking for more international social connections and learning without means of doing so through traveling!!!

This app is great and I've made great friends from all over the world that I still talk to after years. The only flaw is that they took away to ability to block more countries. It's only a flaw because some countries are more prominent in the app and a lot of us want to meet more people from less prominent countries. Like 5 people in a row will be from the same one out of 4 common countries

Thank you for your kind words :) We didn't remove this option, it is still there under your app settings, inside the "discovery preferences" menu :)

This has never been the greatest app out there but it was sufficient and mostly worked. But after the last two updates...sure it looks pretty...but I am not getting notifications of bottles. But worse than that I will get a notification of a message but when I click on the chat...it doesn't show the message that I can see in the preview. Sometimes it will show up if I leave the chat open long enough but most times it just disappears. If I can't see my messages what's the point of the app?

Thank you for your feedback; we are currently investigating what could lead to this lost connection upon resuming the app. Although restarting the app will always fix this issue, we understand it might not be comfortable to do so so we will make sure to improve it in incoming updates! :)
