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 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 :)

Too expensive. The cost is discouraging open communication. Fewer people keep bottles because they're more busy collecting enough to reach the world, which takes forever to accomplish. Also, the bug causing the text for the bottles to be hidden behind the keyboard is still there. Please fix. Furthermore, there should be an option to copy and release a bottle so a person can keep a nice message even if they don't want to communicate. Finally, an option to reply directly to a bottle.

basically, it's not functioning. I've tried my account on multiple devices. i got logged in one time in the years I've been trying. i give up! i was logged in and trying to navigate, only to get booted back to the log in screen that won't let me back in. thank goodness I'm not trying to use it to communicate. i like the concept but it's buggy it seems, because even to get that one log in, i had to shut down the app and reopen because you can't refresh and it was stuck. incredibly disappointing
