If you come across a moment on Currently that feels unsafe, inappropriate, or violates community guidelines, you can report it — and your report will be taken seriously.


🛠️ Step 1: Your Report is Logged Instantly

When you tap ‘⋮’ > Report Moment and select a reason (e.g., nudity, hate speech, spam, etc.):

  • The moment is immediately flagged in our system

  • Your report is 100% confidential — the person you reported will not be notified


🔍 Step 2: Reviewed by Moderation Team

Our trained content moderation team reviews every reported moment, often within a few hours.
They check:

  • The moment itself (image/video, caption, tags)

  • The context and any previous violations by the user

  • Whether the moment breaks any of our Community Guidelines


🚫 Step 3: Action is Taken (If Needed)

If the moment violates the rules, one or more of the following may happen:

Action

Reason

Content Removed

For harmful, explicit, or misleading content

Warning Issued

First-time or borderline violations

Account Restriction

Temporary limits on posting or visibility

Account Suspension

For repeated or severe violations

If the report is not valid, no action is taken — but the report is still recorded for reference.


🔔 Step 4: You May Be Notified (Sometimes)

  • In most cases, you won’t receive a direct follow-up

  • For serious reports (e.g., hate speech or abuse), we may send a status update confirming that action was taken

  • We never disclose details about the action or the user


🙅 What Reporting Does NOT Do:

  • It won’t block the person (you can do that separately)

  • It won’t delete the moment immediately (unless it's auto-flagged by our system)
