safety tips
updated September 2026
chat first
Get to know people in the app before sharing your number or socials.
meet in public
First meetups should be in busy public places like cafes, parks or group hangouts.
tell a friend
Let someone know where you are going, who you are meeting and when you expect to be back.
get yourself there
Arrange your own transport so you can leave whenever you want.
never send money
No real friend will ask you for money, gift cards or bank details. Report anyone who does.
trust your gut
If something feels off, leave. You can block and report someone at any time. In an emergency call 119 (Sri Lanka) or 999 (UK).
