Talking to someone new is the whole point of Call1v1 — and they’re still a stranger. A few habits keep that fun instead of risky. This page covers the tools you have and the warning signs worth knowing.
Your three tools
Hang up
The fastest tool you have. If anything feels off, end the call. You don’t need a reason and you don’t need to say goodbye.
Report
Open the person’s profile and choose Report. Pick the reason that fits best, add a screenshot if you have one, and send. Missed the chance during the call? Everyone you’ve talked to is listed in your call history, so you can still find their profile afterwards.
Block
Blocking someone stops them from contacting you. If you block someone by mistake, you can unblock them from the blocked list in Settings.
Keep these off the call
- your full name, home address, school or workplace;
- your phone number, email, or social media accounts;
- passwords, verification codes, bank or card details;
- anything in the background that gives away where you live — mail, windows with a recognisable view, ID cards.
Calls happen inside Call1v1 precisely so that neither of you has to hand over a phone number. If you want to talk to someone again, follow them instead.
How to spot a scam
The same few scripts come up again and again. Be careful if someone:
- asks for money, gift cards, crypto or a “loan”, however good the story;
- pushes you to move to WhatsApp, Telegram or another app straight away;
- sends you a link to “verify”, “unlock” or “see more”;
- offers to show something private in exchange for payment outside the site;
- tries to get you to undress or do something on camera, then threatens to share the recording.
That last one is called sextortion. If it happens: don’t pay, stop replying, keep the evidence, report the account to us, and report it to the police. Paying almost never makes it stop.
If you meet someone under 18
Call1v1 is for adults only. If the person on the other end looks or sounds under 18, end the call straight away and report them, choosing the reason that fits best. Never continue the conversation.
Look after yourself
- Use earphones if other people are around, so your call stays your call.
- Remember that anything on camera can be recorded by someone who ignores the rules — so only show what you’d be fine with.
- Take a break if calls start to feel bad. There’s always someone new tomorrow.
In an emergency
If you believe someone is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first. Then report the account to us so we can act on our side.
