Staying Safe on IMHO

IMHO is designed for fun, open, and honest conversations. However, staying safe online is crucial. Here’s how you can protect yourself while using IMHO:

 

1. Don’t Share Personal Information

Never share your full name, phone number, home address, school, or other personal details in responses. Honesty is key, but your safety comes first.

 

2. Be Mindful of What You Post

Think before you share. Even honest responses can impact others. If you receive anything that makes you uncomfortable, ignore it or report it.

 

3. Report Harmful Messages

If you get a message that is threatening, harassing, or makes you feel unsafe, report it immediately using our in-app reporting tools.

 

4. Block and Filter Messages

You’re in control! Use IMHO’s message filtering options to block unwanted messages or prevent specific words from appearing in your inbox.

 

5. Take Breaks When Needed

If online interactions start feeling overwhelming, step away. Mental health matters—your well-being is more important than any app.

 

6. Watch Out for Scams

Be cautious if someone asks for money, links to external websites, or anything that seems suspicious. If something feels off, it probably is.

 

7. Talk to Someone You Trust

If something online is bothering you, reach out to a friend, family member, or support organization for guidance.
