Safety

Staying safe when you chat with strangers online

Anonymous chat is a great way to meet people, and a few habits keep it that way.

1. Keep personal details private: your full name, address, school, workplace and phone number.
2. Never send money, gift cards, UPI payments or OTPs. Anyone asking is running a scam, every time.
3. Don't move to another app because someone insists. Pressure to switch is a red flag.
4. Be careful with voice notes: don't say anything you wouldn't want recorded.
5. If someone makes you uncomfortable, you don't owe them an explanation. Tap Next.
6. Report people who are abusive, sexual, or who seem under 18. Reports help everyone.
7. Trust your gut. If a story sounds too good, or too sad, it often isn't true.
