* Write a message, put it in a bottle & throw it in the sea for someone to find!

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 ***

Good experience overall. I suggest adding more topics of interest, such as "nature", " aquascaping", and "terrariums". Also consider applying the "blocked countries" rule to the "Travel" worldwide chat. Or maybe randomize the selection more because I keep getting the same countries over and over.

Developers need to work on this app. Every time I convert with a stranger, it automatically stops my message. After sending, it doesn't appear to the recipient, and vice versa.

Overall the Bottle app is really good the design is clean, everything works fine, and it’s a fun way to meet new people around the world. I really enjoy using it! However, one small issue is that even though my real-life friends also use this app, I can’t find them inside the app. There should be an option to search and add real friends easily. Hope the developers add this feature soon!
