Safety

Safe chatting, built in.

heylu.app is about meeting new people, and that only works if everyone feels safe. That's why safety tools are part of every chat, and why a real moderation team reviews what gets reported.

Reporting

If someone breaks the rules, report them right away. It takes one click and you're connected to someone new immediately.

  1. 1

    During a video chat

    Press the red Report button in the top right corner of your partner's video and pick a reason.

  2. 2

    During a text chat

    Use Report next to your partner's name at the top of the chat.

  3. 3

    With a shortcut

    Set up your own keyboard shortcuts for each report reason in your settings.

What happens after a report

At the moment of the report we save a screenshot of both cameras and the chat history. Our moderators review it, and anyone who breaks the rules is banned.

Your safety tools

  • Report

    Flag someone with one click. Screenshots and the chat history are saved automatically for our team.

  • Next

    Not feeling it? Skip to the next person instantly with Esc on desktop or a swipe on your phone.

  • Blur

    Blur your partner's video with one click, or have every new chat start blurred by default.

  • Ninja mode

    Hide your age, gender and location while you're being matched.

  • Friend requests

    Decide who can reach you later. You can turn off friend requests completely.

  • Verified accounts

    Every account is confirmed by email and heylu.app is for adults only. That keeps most bots and trolls out.

  • Live moderation

    To protect everyone, moderators can watch, listen to and read ongoing chats live.
