Making Friends on Peanut: Why can't I see waves 👋

Let’s talk about something really special - the Wave! It’s the most important feature on Peanut, and for good reason. After all, it’s the key that unlocks meaningful connections with other women just like you.

You’ve already got enough on your plate, and finding new friends? That might feel like one challenge too many. We totally get it. That’s exactly why Peanut makes those first steps as comfortable as possible.

👋 It all starts with a wave! Just like catching someone’s eye across the playground and sharing a friendly smile, sending a wave on Peanut is your way of saying “Hey, I’d love to connect!” The best part? It’s completely judgment-free. If someone doesn’t wave back, no worries - it stays between you and the app. No awkward moments, no pressure.

Why did we design it this way? Why not show everyone the waves? Because we believe in creating a safe space for every woman to be brave and reach out. It’s not about rejected friend requests - it’s about empowering each woman to put herself out there at her own pace. When the stars align and you both wave at each other, that’s when the magic happens! We’ll let you both know about the connection and invite you to start chatting.

Remember, sending waves and making connections is always free on Peanut! The more waves you send, the more chances you have to make meaningful connections. Think of it like planting seeds of friendship - the more you plant, the more likely they are to bloom! 🌷

For those eager to fast-track their connections, our Waves tab offers a peek at who’s already waved at you. With Peanut Plus, you can speed up your journey to finding new friends, but we still encourage you to keep sending those waves. After all, the most beautiful friendships often start with a simple “hello!”
