Features

What can I do on Friendlinq?
You can share updates, photos, and videos; send private messages; join or create interest-based community groups; make video and audio calls; host or join live streams; browse the marketplace; manage your profile; and discover events and activities — all in one place.
How do groups work?
You can join existing groups based on your interests (gardening, travel, book clubs, cooking, health and wellness, and more) or create your own group and invite others. Inside a group you can post updates, share photos, and interact with other members.
Can I share photos and videos?
Yes. You can share photos and videos in your feed, in private messages, and in groups. You also have a personal photo portfolio where you can organize and showcase your favorite images, and a private album visible only to friends you choose.
How do video calls work?
Video and audio calls are built right into Friendlinq — no extra app needed. You can call individual friends or start a group call. Calls work on phones, tablets, and computers. Just tap the call button on a friend's profile or in a group.
Can I host a live stream?
Yes. You can start a live stream with one tap and share it with friends or groups. Viewers can join and interact in real time. It's a great way to share moments as they happen — a family gathering, a cooking session, or a community event.

Comparison and compatibility

How is Friendlinq different from Facebook?
Friendlinq is built from the ground up for people who want simplicity. That means cleaner navigation, larger text, no algorithm-driven content manipulation, no advertisements, and privacy controls designed to actually protect you. Facebook is a general platform built around engagement metrics — Friendlinq is built around you.
Do I need to be tech-savvy to use Friendlinq?
Not at all. Friendlinq uses large, clear buttons, simple navigation, and straightforward language. There's a guided tutorial that walks you through every feature step by step. If you can browse the internet and send an email, you can use Friendlinq.
Can my family members join?
Absolutely. Friendlinq is open to adults of all ages. Invite your family, friends, and anyone you want to stay connected with. The more people you care about who join, the better the experience becomes.
