Currently’s Check-In feature lets you tag your location so others can discover where you're hanging out right now.

It’s quick, simple, and powerful for discovery.


✅ Step-by-Step: How to Check In at a Location

  1. Open the Currently app

  2. Tap the ‘+’ button (center bottom) to post a moment

  3. Select your Activity (e.g., Working, Eating Out, Playing Football)

  4. Tap on the “Check-In” field

  5. You’ll see a list of nearby places based on your location

  6. Choose one from the list or search manually

  7. Complete your moment with optional photo/video, caption, tags, or timer

  8. Tap Post

That’s it — you’ve successfully checked in!


🌍 What Happens When You Check In?

  • Your moment gets linked to the place

  • It appears on the Map (if public)

  • It adds a footfall to that location’s profile — forever

  • Other users visiting that place can see your moment as part of its social presence

Each check-in is a social stamp — real, permanent, and discoverable.


🔒 You’re Always in Control

  • You don’t have to check in if you prefer not to

  • You can choose “Followers Only” privacy to limit visibility

  • Your exact location is never shared — only the place you tag
