How does it actually work?

You pick the group that fits you on this website, click the WhatsApp button, send us a message, and within 48 hours (usually the same day) a real person adds you to the right WhatsApp community. That's it. No apps to download, no login, no fees.

Yes. Joining any LA People Club group is 100 percent free. We do not sell your number, we do not spam the chat, we do not run ads inside the groups.

Can I join more than one group?

Absolutely. If you're new to LA who hikes at dawn and hits the beach on weekends, join New to LA, Hiking Trails, and Beach & Fitness. Most members are in 2 to 4 groups.

What's the group size? Won't it be spammy?

Each group stays under 250 members with active moderation. Anyone posting promo, crypto, or off-topic links gets removed. The chat is for members, by members.

I just moved and don't know anyone yet. Worth joining?

That's exactly why New to LA exists. You get a welcome dinner, apartment-hunting tips, and a dozen locals telling you the real spots within days of landing.

I don't have WhatsApp. Another option?

WhatsApp is a quick way to meet people fast in LA. If you don't have it, message us from the contact page and we'll figure something out.

Are these groups safe? Vetted?

Every new member sends one intro message before being added - 1 photo, first name, where you're from, which group you want. We remove anyone flagged for harassment or scams. We're a community of travellers, not a business directory.

LA People Club is run by long-term LA residents and travellers who believe nobody should stay alone here. We started informally in 2021 with one WhatsApp group; now we moderate ten. It's a labor of love, not a company.
