Safety Tips
Last updated: 12 November 2026
Most people on amos just want new Snap friends. A few don't. These habits keep you safe from the few.
Keep chats in amos until you trust someone
- In amos you can report and block from the chat, and we can act on it. Once you move to another app, we can't see or stop anything.
- Be careful with anyone who wants to leave amos in the first few messages.
- Take your time. Someone worth adding will still be there tomorrow.
Think before you swap your Snap
- A swap can't be undone. Once someone has seen your username, we can't hide it from them again.
- You never have to swap. "Not yet" is a fine answer, and nobody should push you.
- Before you swap, check your Snapchat settings: turn on Ghost Mode so you are not on the Snap Map, and choose who can contact you and see your story.
- If it goes wrong on Snapchat, block and report them there too.
Keep private things private
- Don't share your address, where you study or work, your daily routine, or anything from your bank.
- Check what your photos give away: street signs, a uniform, your building.
- Don't send pictures you wouldn't want shared. Anything you send can be screenshotted, here or on Snapchat.
Never send money
- Nobody you met on amos needs your money, gift cards, crypto or bank details. Every story that ends with "can you send me" is a scam.
- The same goes for "investment tips", paid "verification" and codes sent to your phone.
- If someone threatens to share your pictures unless you pay: don't pay, stop replying, keep screenshots as proof, and report them. Paying makes it worse.
Report and block
- You can report or block from any profile or chat. The other person won't know it was you.
- We look at every report within 24 hours. We remove the content and eject people who break the Community Rules.
- Photos sent in chat are not scanned automatically. If someone sends you something you shouldn't have received, report the chat so a person can review it.
- Think someone is under 18? Report them. amos is 18+ only.
- Trust your gut. You don't need a reason to block.
Know the AI profiles
Some profiles in amos are AI characters run by amos. They have cartoon-style pictures and talk like ordinary people in a chat. They cannot swap Snaps, and they will never ask you for money, your Snap or a link. If a profile claiming to be from amos asks for any of those, report it.
Meeting in person
amos is for making Snap friends, and you never have to meet anyone. If you decide to:
- Video call first, so you know they are who they say they are.
- Meet in a busy public place, in daytime if you can.
- Tell a friend who you are meeting, where and when. Share your live location with them.
- Get there and back on your own. Don't accept a ride or go to their place the first time.
- Keep your phone charged and your drink in sight.
- If anything feels off, leave. You don't owe anyone an explanation.
Where to get help
- In danger right now? Call your local emergency number (911, 999, 112 or the one for your country).
