Meetup, Timeleft, and Wyzr Friends: Socializing by Activity

[madmax]

Traditional and emerging apps are blending digital convenience with real-world interactions:

Meetup has connected millions through groups and events since 2002.

Timeleft organizes weekly dinners for strangers with icebreaker games and after-parties.

Wyzr Friends targets adults over 40, including empty nesters and divorced users, connecting them via shared hobbies and outings.

From hobby-based gatherings to age-specific meetups, these platforms show that friendship apps are no longer just a novelty—they’re solving a real social need.
