Online dating safety
Most dates are just dates. These habits keep the rest from going wrong: before you meet, when you meet, online, and if something does.
WHATSLEFT DOES NOT CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS ON MEMBERS.
Before you meet
Get to know them here
Keep chatting in WhatsLeft until you’re ready. Be wary of anyone who pushes to move to another app fast.
Video call first
A quick call from your chat shows they’re who their photos say.
Look for the verified badge
Verified people took a selfie that matched their photos.
Never send money
No matter the story. Report anyone who asks for money, gift cards or crypto.
When you meet
Stay in public
Meet somewhere busy and stay there, at least for the first few dates.
Tell a friend
Share who you’re meeting, where and when.
Get yourself there and back
Keep control of your own ride home.
Watch your drink
Know your limits and never leave your drink alone.
Leave whenever you want
You don’t owe anyone your time. If it feels wrong, go.
Online
Keep personal details private
Hold back your home address, workplace and money details until you trust someone.
Spot the scam
Stories that end in money, investments or a sudden emergency are red flags.
If something goes wrong
Block and report
Open their profile or your chat and tap Report. We never tell them who reported them.
Keep evidence
Screenshots of messages and profiles help our team act.
