Know My NBR connects you with people who live near you. These guidelines keep it friendly and safe. Breaking them can get content removed or an account banned; see our Terms.
Community guidelines
- Be yourself: real name or nickname, your own photos, one account. You must be 18+.
- Be respectful: no harassment, bullying, threats, hate speech or discrimination.
- Keep it clean: no nudity, pornography, sexual services or sexual messages to people who did not ask for them.
- Protect children: anything that sexualises or endangers a minor is banned and reported to the police. See our Child Safety Standards.
- No scams or spam: never ask for money, bank details or OTPs; no selling, no fake giveaways, no pyramid schemes.
- Respect privacy: don't share anyone's address, phone number, private messages or photos without consent. Taking screenshots of view-once photos sends an alert.
- Nothing illegal: no drugs, weapons, violence, self-harm promotion or terrorism.
Built-in protections
- Your exact location is never shown. Others see a distance band (for example "within 5 km") or, with Hide distance on, only your city.
- Your verified phone number is never shown to anyone.
- People must send a connect request before they can chat with you, and you choose who can message or comment.
- Every upload is screened automatically, and reports are reviewed by our team.
- Verified tick (face check) to help you spot real people.
- App lock with Face ID or fingerprint, and options to hide your online status.
Block and report

Meeting people safely
- Chat in the app for a while before sharing your number or social accounts.
- Meet for the first time in a busy public place, and tell a friend where you are going.
- Arrange your own transport and stay in control of your drinks and belongings.
- Never send money, gift cards or crypto to someone you met online, however convincing the story.
