Anyone who has ever been to a music festival knows the feeling — you turn around for one minute and your group is gone. Phone signal is patchy, group chats explode with “where are you?” messages, and meeting up wastes half the headliner. WAY is built specifically to solve that problem: a simple, private festival friend finder for iPhone.
Activate Festival Mode and, for a set duration, every crew ping is answered with your location automatically — even from friends you normally approve by hand. No more replying to “where are you?” — a friend taps Find and your pin appears. When the timer ends, it switches itself off. Free sessions run up to 4 hours; the optional one-time WAY+ purchase raises that to 24 hours, which covers a full festival day in one go.
WAY was built privacy-first. You control who sees you, for how long, and you can rotate your share code at any time to cut off anyone you no longer trust. Stranger requests land in a separate inbox so you can review, ignore, or block. There are no analytics SDKs and no data sold to third parties — ever.
WAY puts your crew on one map so you can find each other in the crowd at festivals, concerts, and events: tap a friend to ping them, and their location comes back. Turn on Festival Mode and every crew ping is answered automatically for a set duration, even from friends you normally approve by hand, then it switches itself off. Free sessions run up to 4 hours; the optional one-time WAY+ purchase raises that to 24 hours for all-day events.
Add friends by scanning their QR code, opening their invite link, or entering a share code. Adding someone shares your location with them once and sends them a request; they add you back to connect. No one gets your location unless you have added them, and you can turn off sharing or Auto-approve for anyone.
Yes. Ghost Mode is a one-tap kill switch that stops all sharing immediately and deletes your published location records. You can also stop sharing per friend or rotate your share code at any time.
