Safety

Stay safe
on AFTER.

Talking to someone new should feel easy. These are the rules we ask everyone to follow, and the things we do in the background so you don’t have to think about them.

🔐Never share your phone number, UPI, bank details, OTP or PIN, with anyone, for any reason.
🙅No one from AFTER will ever ask for an OTP or PIN.
🚩Anyone offering to pay you directly, outside the app, is a scam. Report them.
🌙AFTER is a companion and conversation service. It is not a medical or emergency service.

What happens in the background

Numbers are never displayed

Phone numbers exist only in our database. No profile, chat or room shows one.

Contact details are masked

Numbers, UPI handles and messaging links are hidden before a message is delivered, and both sides see a privacy warning.

Listeners are approved by a person

Voice intro, ID and details are checked before a profile goes live.

Report and block, both sides

Anyone can report or block at any time. Reports go to a review queue with the full history.

Calls are not recorded

Audio passes through our server to reach the other person and is never written to disk. While a call runs it is transcribed briefly so shared contact details can be caught, and that transcript is deleted within about thirty seconds.

18+ only

Every account passes an age gate, and repeat offenders can’t simply sign up again.

The full rules are in our Safety policy.

If you need urgent help

Free, 24/7 helplines in India

If you or someone you’re talking to is in danger, please contact a helpline or local emergency services. AFTER is not an emergency service.
