Start a safer chat

Warning signs to take seriously

Urgency or pressure

Someone pushing you to move off-platform or decide something quickly, before you feel ready.

Money requests

Any ask for payment, gift cards, or financial details is a reason to end the conversation.

Fishing for personal details

Early, repeated questions about your address, workplace, or daily routine.

Refusing to let you leave

Guilt-tripping or repeated messages after you have said you want to stop.

Information to keep private

Avoid sharing your full name, home address, workplace, school, financial details, passwords, or government ID numbers with someone you have just met. It is fine to keep a conversation light and anonymous for as long as you want; you never owe a stranger identifying details.

How reporting works on Texegle

You can leave any conversation immediately, no explanation required. Logged-in users can also use the Feedback option in the chat menu to describe a problem or report a specific conversation. See the full community guidelines for what is and is not acceptable, and the report a problem page for other issues.
