Safety

Last updated 19 October 2026

Meeting new people should feel safe. Here’s how the service works, and what to do when meeting someone.

How we protect you

Area, never your spot. We show “Tiong Bahru” or “Seoul”, never coordinates or distances, so nobody can pinpoint you.
Mutual and opt-in. You see people nearby only while they can see you, and only if you both turned on Nearby.
Ideas before photos. Photos and full profiles appear only after you both say yes.
Check-ins expire on their own, and your area can change at most four times a day.
Scam warnings. Chats that mention moving to WhatsApp or Telegram, money, crypto or investing show a warning.
Block and report in one tap. Blocking works both ways, at once. A person reviews every report.
Women-only cards are seen only by women.

Meet in a busy public place, and get there and home on your own.
Tell a friend who you’re meeting, where and when.
Keep chatting here until you feel comfortable sharing your number.
Never send money, gift cards or crypto to someone you met online, whatever the story.
