Currently is designed to be a real, respectful, and engaging space — but like any social platform, you may occasionally come across spam, bots, or abusive users.


🚫 1. Be Cautious of Suspicious Accounts

Watch out for accounts that:

  • Have no real profile photo or bio

  • Send copy-paste messages or links

  • Post low-effort or irrelevant content frequently

  • Ask for personal info or promote external products/services

If it feels fake, it probably is. Don’t engage — report and move on.


🧱 2. Block or Report Offenders Instantly

If someone is:

  • Harassing you

  • Sending spam or suspicious links

  • Posting offensive or inappropriate content

Do this:

  • Block them → Go to their profile → Tap → Select Block User

  • Report the content or user → Tap on the moment/message/profile → Report

Blocking removes all access. Reporting flags it to our moderation team.


🔐 3. Adjust Your Privacy Settings

Want more control over who interacts with you?

  • Go to Settings → Privacy

  • Switch to a Private Account so only approved followers can see your content

  • Limit who can message or follow you

This gives you complete control over your audience.


🙅 4. Don’t Share Personal Information

Never share:

  • Your phone number

  • Home address

  • Bank details or passwords

  • Personal plans (especially if you’re alone)

Even in private chat, stay cautious — real-time doesn’t mean zero risk.


🧠 5. Use Common Sense and Trust Your Instincts

If something feels off, it usually is.

  • Don’t click on unfamiliar links

  • Don’t send money or photos to strangers

  • Don’t fall for “giveaways” or “brand promotions” that seem too good to be true
