Trust & safety
Staying safe when you meet up
Sensible precautions for going out with new people.
Are You About helps you meet people and go out, but we don't vet users, venues or events.
- Meet in public for the first time, and stay in public places.
- Tell a friend where you're going — share the plan link.
- Don't send money to people you've met on the app.
- Trust your instincts and leave if something feels off.
- In an emergency, call the emergency services.
Precise location is only ever shared while you're using a feature that needs it, and only with people you're connected with.
