Block instantly
A blocked member disappears from your Discover, your matches and your messages — in both directions.
Report to real people
Reports enter a prioritised moderation queue. Moderators can suspend or ban accounts, and every action is audit-logged.
No unsolicited messages
Only people you have matched with can message you. Unmatch and the conversation closes.
Control your visibility
Hide your distance, hide your area, leave location-based discovery, or hide your profile entirely.
What verification does not mean
A verified badge means a live photo matched the profile photos on that account. It is not an identity check or a background check, and it says nothing about how someone will behave. Treat a verified profile with exactly the same care as any other.
Before you meet someone
Meet in public, the first few times
A campus café, a busy market, the Garba ground itself — somewhere with people around and an easy way to leave.
Tell someone you trust
A friend or a family member should know who you are meeting, where, and roughly when you expect to be back. Share your live location with them if you can.
Never share OTPs, passwords or money
Nobody genuine will ask. No UPI transfers, no gift cards, no crypto, no “just verify this code for me” — whatever the story, however long you have been talking.
Be careful with links and requests
Do not open payment links, sign-in pages or app downloads someone sends you, and do not move to another app because they insist.
Keep personal details for later
Your hostel, your class timetable, your home address and your daily route are all easy to piece together. Share them when you are ready, not because you were asked.
Trust your instincts
If something feels off, stop. Unmatch, block, report — you owe nobody an explanation.
Signs worth reporting
- Anyone asking for money, a loan, an OTP or a payment — for any reason.
- Someone who refuses a video call or a photo, or whose story keeps changing.
- Pressure to move to WhatsApp, Telegram or another app straight away.
- Sexual messages or images you did not ask for.
- Threats to share your photos or messages, or anyone claiming to already have them.
- A profile that looks like someone else's photos.
How to report or block
Open their profile or your chat with them and choose Report. Pick a reason, add any detail you want a moderator to see, and submit. You can block them in the same place — you do not need to wait for the report to be reviewed. Blocking is immediate and works both ways.
What we do on our side
- Only matched members can message each other.
- Your exact location is never shared with another member.
- Every report is reviewed by a moderator.
- Photos can be reviewed and removed if they break the rules.
- You must be 18 or older to use BuzzUp.
None of that makes an app safe by itself, and we will not pretend otherwise. The rules everyone agrees to are in our Community Guidelines.
In immediate danger?
Contact your local emergency services first. BuzzUp moderation is not an emergency service and cannot respond in real time.
Afterwards, report the account inside the app, or write to khamoshconfess@gmail.com.
