Safety Tips

Effective Date: July 3, 2026

Meeting new people is exciting, but your safety comes first. These tips apply whether you are chatting, planning a date, or meeting in person through Flow.

1. Before You Chat

• Review a profile carefully; be cautious of profiles with very few photos or inconsistent details.

• Keep conversations inside the App at first rather than moving to other messaging apps or phone numbers right away.

• Trust your instincts — if something feels off, it probably is.

2. Protect Your Personal Information

• Do not share your home address, workplace, financial details, or full daily routine early on.

• Never send money, gift cards, or cryptocurrency to someone you have not met in person, no matter the story.

• Be wary of anyone who avoids video calls or in-person meetings while asking for financial help.

3. Meeting in Person

• Choose a public place for a first meeting and arrange your own transport.

• Tell a friend or family member where you're going, who you're meeting, and when you expect to be back.

• Use the in-app date planner and location-share feature so someone you trust can see where you are.

• Stay sober enough to make good decisions, and keep your phone charged.

4. Red Flags

• Pressuring you to move quickly, isolate from friends, or send money.

• Refusing to verify their identity or video-call before meeting.

• Inconsistent stories, or a profile that seems too good to be true.

5. Report and Get Help

Use the in-app report and block features for any user who makes you uncomfortable. In an emergency, contact local emergency services immediately.
