Social networking for the iPhone is finally picking up some heat. WhosHere from myRete is an ad supported social networking app available for free in the App Store with a growing following. WhosHere is like a mashup between Facebook, MySpace, and AIM, and its dead simplicity and ease of use has allowed WhosHere to grow quickly.

WhosHere is not too complicated, it finds people near you and shows you their photos. You can create yourself a profile and add your photo, your name, and more bio details like your gender, age, and relationship status. Then you can state who you want to meet by gender, age, and relationship status. You can browse people near your location, or new users to WhosHere. Once you find a friend you can do a few things: Send them a chat message, add them to your address book (yes, this means your actual iPhone Contacts and WhosHere imports the user photo as well), or block them if they give you the creeps. You can send pics to any user on WhosHere, and what’s cool is you can take a photo using your iPhone and send it all in one shot. There is a tab that keeps a list of all your chats with other users for your reference.

There a bunch of settings you can modify to fine tune how you see other users and how they see you. More social features are hopefully on the way, perhaps blogging and widgets? Watch out MySpace and Facebook.

This 3rd Party App is available at the Apple iTunes AppStore. Browse the full list of all AppStore apps filed under the AppStore category.

3. I love that app. Its a great way to pass time. Unfortunately Lexi, there is no way to delete what chats the other person has, whether you delete your profile or not. Julia, the chats don’t transfer from phone to phone, so u will loose those old ones once you finally use your new phone. By now you both probably already know all this though lol. Anyway, I just wanted to know… When you block someone, can they still see your profile, or are you gone from their search as well?

4. OK what the fuck. My friend told me she saw someone on this ap stealing my pictures with a profile that says shes 26 & single. How do I report this & since I have my pictures copyrighted what can I do to have her deleted?

6. When you block some, the entire chat is removed on that blocked persons iPhone as well! The blocked person does not see you anymore and the blocked person will not appear in your searches.
   Very effective!

22. While it’s a pretty cool app when it’s working, if you lose your phone, or just CHANGE phones, you can’t bring over your old Profile. So it just lives on in limbo forever.

    It would be great to be able to access my Profile from multiple devices (like when new iPhone 5 comes out) instead of creating a copy. Finding all my old friends and re-adding them.

    It would also be nice to be able to add “notes” on people. You can change your user name and pics and even tweak location. As a result, you could easily look like a different person to everyone. But minor.

    And I know this is an Apple site, but would be great to have in Droid version too. Double the number of users overnight!

    I actually like this app a lot. But it could go from good to GREAT with a few small changes.
