Piik: Friends on Home Screen

Piik shows you what your closest friends are up to, right now.

Gaming, just got home, at school, out for a walk — your friends' "now" appears in real time on your Home Screen and in the app. Each friend's avatar moves along with whatever they're actually doing.

Piik shares your status automatically, so your friends can see it without you ever updating anything by hand. Invite the friends you're closest to, see more of their day, and get closer.

■ What automatic status sharing tells you

• Piik reads your device's location and motion data and works out your status on its own

• When a friend gets home, wakes up, is at school, is out, walking, or running

• Whether they're playing a connected game right now

• Whether they have Piik open and are free to talk

■ An avatar that moves with your day

• Asleep? Your avatar sleeps too. At school? Your avatar heads to school. It follows what you're doing

• Dress it up with hairstyles, clothes, glasses, hats, and more

■ Add the widget to your Home Screen

• See what your friends are up to without opening the app

• Launch Piik straight from the widget

■ Curious? Poke or chat right away

• React to a friend's status or note with a Poke or a reaction

• Or just start a chat and talk it out

■ Game integrations (Roblox and Brawl Stars)

• Once you've created a Piik account, connect Roblox or Brawl Stars to see which friends are playing right now

• Brawl Stars match results show up in their note automatically

• No need to ask "you free?" — you can just see when someone's around to play

• Roblox is a trademark of Roblox Corporation. Brawl Stars is a trademark of Supercell Oy.

■ Rooms make hanging out easy

• Spot a friend with time on their hands and start talking in a room right away

• Pull in friends who are home or mid-game and hop on a call

■ Built so you can relax

• Ghost mode turns your status off

• Places show up as "Home" or "School" — never a precise location, so it's comfortable to share

• Block and report anyone you're not comfortable with

After school, or miles apart. Your friends' now, on your Home Screen.
