Safety Tips

iYabbr should feel like hanging out with friends. These tips help keep it that way.

For everyone

• Keep private things private. Never post your phone number, home address, school schedule or passwords. Your email and birthday are never shown on iYabbr.
• Only add people you know, or people you're sure are who they say they are. You can always make your profile friends-only in Edit Profile.
• Think before you post. Screenshots last forever, even if you delete something.
• Someone bugging you? Use Block User on their profile. They can't see your profile, add you or message you anymore, and they won't be told.
• See something wrong? Click Report next to it. Reports are private.
• Watch out for scams. We'll never ask for your password. Don't click weird links, even from friends — their account might be hacked.
• Meeting someone from online? Tell a parent or friend, meet in a busy public place, and don't go alone.

For teens (13-17)

• Your profile is friends-only to start with, and you're never shown to strangers in "Cool New People".
• Adults can't send you messages unless you're friends.
• If anyone makes you feel uncomfortable, asks for photos or asks to keep secrets: block them, report them, and tell an adult you trust. It's never your fault.

For parents

• In some EU countries, members under 16 need a parent's approval — you'll get an email to approve or decline.
• Talk with your teen about who they add as friends and what they share.
• Want to see or delete your child's data, or worried about something? Email support@iyabbr.com.
