About this app

Make friends, chat, and have fun with penpals from all over the world.
Share what’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 ***

This app is useless. It doesn’t let me log in or sign up at all. I’ve tried many times, but it still doesn’t work. Earlier it used to open randomly, and now it shows ‘your account seems deleted.’ I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it many times, but nothing worked. 😤

this app was really good for me but then some months ago my account got blocked due to a strange user,that person used bad language for me and when I got mad that certain person reported on me and even though he was one abusing,I got blocked instead! Isn't it unfair?and now I checked after many months hoping I would be unblocked but the app is still not working for me!!!really disappointed I thought this app was different and might be not unfair but now I really want my account back!!!Please!!!

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.
