At Badoo, creating a safe and respectful space for our community is at the core of everything we do. You should feel confident and in control every step of the way.
To help protect our community, we’ve built a range of safety features and guidelines, including:
- No weapons in photos: we do not allow guns or other weapons of violence in profile pictures.
- Zero tolerance for hate: hate speech, sexual harassment, and fetishization are strictly banned.
- In-app video and voice calls: connect safely without sharing your phone number or email until you’re ready.
- Photo Verification: confirm that your match is who they say they are.
- Hide your profile: take a break from the app when you need time to recharge—your mental health matters.
- Private detector: this feature automatically blurs potentially explicit images so you can choose whether to view them.
- Unmatch feature: you’re always in control of who can contact you.
- Deception Detector™: our AI-powered tool works behind the scenes to flag and prevent scams before they happen, backed by a dedicated human moderation team.
We have a team working 24/7 to monitor for fake profiles, spam, and any activity that breaks our Community Guidelines. Sexual harassment, abuse, fraud, or violence have no place on Badoo.
If you encounter inappropriate behavior, such as harassment, suspicious activity, fraud, or requests for money, please block and report them right away. Even if you’ve unmatched a person, you can still use any information you have about them to file a report with our safety team or reach out to law enforcement.
Your safety is our priority. We're here to support you every step of the way.
