How to Stay Safe When Talking to Strangers Online

Talking to strangers online can be fun, but a few simple habits keep you safe.

Keep personal details private

Never share your full name, address, school, workplace or phone number with someone you just met.

Leave and report when something feels wrong

You can end any chat instantly. If someone breaks the rules, press Report before you leave so our moderators can review it.

Don't move to other apps too quickly

Scammers often try to move conversations to other apps. Take your time and stay where reporting is easy.
