Disclosed is a secure in-person dating and socializing platform. The platform may perform a check-in of a first user at a particular event based on messaging from a first device of the first user. The first device may receive messages from other devices of other users at the particular event that have previously checked-in to the particular event. Each message may provide a status for a different one of the other users. The first device may determine a location of each of the other devices based on signaling characteristics associated with receiving each message, may determine an area falling within a field-of-view of the first device camera, and may provide an augmented reality presentation of the camera feed with a visual indicator for the status of a second user at a particular location in the field-of-view that maps to the location of a second device of the second user.
