Zenly – don’t lose sight of your friends

The French service Zenly is actively gaining popularity among social network users. The tracking application for friends and relatives combines the basic functions of a regular social network and the transfer of data on the geolocation of users.

Initially, Zenli was supposed to be used among teenagers, since they are the ones who are heavily involved in each other’s social and personal lives. However, according to App Annie, the number of Zenli downloads is increasing every year and has already overtaken Instagram and WhatsApp in popularity.

Zenly Fancy Features

The application interface is a map on which all the user’s friends are marked. The secret of Zenli’s popularity lies in its features, some of which are not found in any similar service.

So the Zenly app:

  • informs about the speed of movement of users, as well as how long one of the friends is in one place;
  • can be used as navigation;
  • gives you the opportunity to know the location of your friends;
  • allows you to set the status. All users in their account can share information about what they are currently doing: studying, working, sleeping, etc;
  • automatically reads the battery level in users’ phones;
  • show real-time weather forecast;
  • has a built-in messenger, so users can exchange small messages and various emoticons;
  • Absolutely free, and does not bother with annoying ads.

In addition to all of the above, the application allows you to hide or disable yourself on the map, as well as play a trick on your friends by specifying a different location in the settings.

Important! In order for all the functions of the application to work correctly, you need to activate the “location determination” option on your smartphone.
