Question: What’s the process for connecting with friends on Spinnr?
Answer: It’s pretty straightforward. You can send a friend request and if they accept, you’ll be able to chat! Alternatively, you could send an intro video (which we highly recommend), or a brief message. If your request piques their interest, you’ll be matched and can start chatting!

Question: Why aren’t there options to like, comment, or follow on Spinnr?

Our goal is to help you meet people in real life and enjoy meaningful activities with new friends.

Question: What should I do if only one of my videos is visible on my profile, even though I have uploaded multiple videos?
