Stay safe, story by story.

Most people on Qisso are here for the same reason you are. These habits help you enjoy it safely.

1Protect your details

• Take your time before sharing your phone number, social media, workplace or home address. Chat in Qisso until you're comfortable.
• Never share a one-time code (OTP), password, bank details or ID card. Qisso will never ask for them.
• Think twice before sending photos you wouldn't want shared.
• If someone pressures you to move to WhatsApp or another app very early, that's a common scam sign. You can keep chatting here.

2Spot a scam

Be careful if someone:

• asks for money, a loan, a gift card or a recharge, for any reason, however urgent or sad it sounds;
• talks about investments, crypto, trading tips or a "guaranteed" way to earn;
• won't meet or video call, and always has an excuse;
• gets very intense very fast, or says they love you before you've met;
• says they're abroad, in the army, or working on a ship or oil rig, and needs help to come home.

Qisso shows you a reminder when a message looks like a request for money or a push to leave the app. If something feels off, trust that feeling, and report it.

3Meeting for the first time

• Meet in a busy public place: a café, a mall, a park in daytime. Not at home, theirs or yours.
• Tell a friend or family member who you're meeting, where, and when you expect to be back. Share your live location with them.
• Get there and back on your own: your own vehicle, a cab you book, or public transport.
• Keep your phone charged, and stay in control of your drink and your belongings.
• You can leave at any time, for any reason. You don't owe anyone an explanation.
• A short video call before you meet is a good way to check someone is who they say they are.

4Respect and consent

• "No", silence or an unanswered message is an answer. Don't keep pushing.
• Consent must be clear and can be withdrawn at any time.
• Never share someone's story, chats or photos without their permission.

5Block and report in the app

1. Block anyone from their story, a request or your chat. They can't see your story or contact you any more, and they aren't told.
2. Report them from the same place. Choose a reason (fake profile, scam, harassment, inappropriate, may be under 18, or something else) and add details if you can.
3. We review it. The person isn't told who reported them. A moderator can read the conversation you reported, and we may remove content or suspend the account.

Can't use the app? Email support@qisso.in, or our Grievance Officer at grievance@qisso.in.

6Helplines in India

You can also report online fraud, harassment or blackmail at cybercrime.gov.in. If someone has asked you for money or threatened to share images, don't pay; keep the messages as evidence, and report it.
