Safety Center
Effective Date: July 20, 2026
Talking Stage connects you with new people through shared interests. Most conversations are great — but you're talking to strangers, so a little caution goes a long way. Here's how to stay safe.
Protect your personal info
- Never share your full name, home address, workplace, or school.
- Keep financial details private — no bank info, card numbers, gift cards, or crypto wallets.
- Be careful with photos or details that reveal where you live or hang out.
- Only share socials (Instagram, Discord, etc.) when you genuinely trust the person, and know you can't take it back.
Spot the red flags
Be cautious if someone:
- Pressures you for personal info, photos, or money.
- Asks you to move to another app immediately.
- Sends links you didn't ask for — they may be scams or malware.
- Claims an emergency and needs money or gift cards.
- Makes you feel uncomfortable, guilty, or scared.
- Tries to isolate you or rush the relationship.
Trust your gut. If something feels off, it's okay to leave — just hit Next.
Tools that keep you in control
- Next — instantly leave a chat and get matched with someone new. No explanation needed.
- Block — hide a user's messages so you don't have to see them.
- Report — flag harmful behavior so our moderators can review and take action.
- Stay anonymous — you never have to share your real identity or socials.
If you feel unsafe
- Leave the chat immediately using Next.
- Report the user so we can investigate.
- Block them to stop seeing their messages.
- If you're in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services.
Protecting minors
Talking Stage is strictly for users 18 and older. We have zero tolerance for any content or behavior that endangers minors. Such activity is removed, accounts are permanently banned, and serious cases are reported to the appropriate authorities.
Reporting works
Every report is reviewed by our moderation team. Depending on severity, we may warn, mute, kick, or permanently ban an account, and remove offending messages. Reporting is confidential — the person you report is not told who reported them.
