Implementation of a "Fixed-Radius Privacy" Toggle
Feature Request - Custom Visibility Range (Hard Radius Limit)
Subject: Feature Request: Option to limit profile visibility to a specific radius only
Hi,
I’d like to propose a privacy feature that allows users to set a Hard Visibility Radius.
The Problem:
Currently, even if we are in a specific location, our profiles can often be seen by users from other cities or distant areas who are using "Explore" features or have long-range search capabilities. This can be a privacy concern when you want to be visible only to the immediate community around you.
The Proposal:
A feature where a user can toggle a "Local Visibility Only" mode. You would define a specific radius (e.g., 2km, 5km, or 10km).
How it works: If someone is outside of that chosen radius, your profile simply will not appear in their grid or search results, regardless of their subscription level or filters.
The benefit: If I am traveling or working in a different city (e.g., in Campinas) and I only want to interact with people in that specific area, I can ensure that people from my hometown (e.g., São Paulo) cannot see my profile while I'm there.
Why this matters:
This provides a much-needed layer of "Geofenced Privacy." It gives users total control over who can discover them based on proximity, preventing unwanted discovery by people from different social or geographical circles.
I believe this would greatly enhance the sense of safety and privacy for many users.
Best regards,
