 Is Secret Chats safe?

Along with using anonymous avatars and pre-moderation of topics and comments, there are several other ways we keep you safe when you’re using Secret Chats:

Age-restricting chats

To use Flo, you must be over the age of 13 (or 16 in the European Union, United Kingdom, and Canada), but not all threads and chats will be available to all members. Your Secret Chats feed is personalized based on your age and goal in the app, so you can get the most out of it and see what’s most useful to you fast. If you’re under 18, then the topics and groups that you’ll see will be slightly different from those available to adults.

Blocking topics and notifications

Alongside favoriting certain topics so you see similar threads and questions, you can also block topics and threads. This means that you don’t have to see content on subjects that you don’t want to. 

 

You can also block notifications from Secret Chats if you no longer want to be alerted when someone replies to your comments or writes a comment in a thread that you started. Find out how to do this in our Help Center.

“I just recently discovered the idea of what a Secret Chat is. Honestly, it gives me a sense of community that I have generations of women here to support me through everything.”
