Your safety comes first
MyNest is built to protect you when you meet people in real life, with 18+ members only, plans in public places, Safe Meet check-ins, photo and content reporting, and zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Here is how to stay safe, and how to get help.
Meet smart, stay safe
Meeting up from a plan
- Meet at the plan's public place, and stay in busy, public spaces.
- Start Safe Meet before you go, so your trusted contacts hear from us if you do not check in.
- Tell a friend where you are going, who with, and when you expect to be home.
- Arrange your own transport so you can leave whenever you want. You can leave a plan at any time.
- Stay in control of your drinks and belongings. Trust your instincts.
Protect your money
- Never send money, gift cards or crypto to someone you met on MyNest, however convincing the story.
- Be wary of anyone who talks about investments, trading or a sudden emergency.
- Never share bank details, card numbers, OTPs or passwords.
- Report anyone who asks for money. It is always against our rules.
Chatting safely
- Keep conversations on MyNest until you trust someone. Our reporting tools only work here.
- Links are blocked in MyNest chats to protect you from phishing.
- Be careful about sharing your surname, workplace, home address or daily routine.
- You never owe anyone a reply. Leave a chat, a plan or a group, or block someone, whenever you like.
Red flags to watch for
- They push to meet somewhere private instead of the plan's public place, or their story keeps changing.
- They quickly profess strong feelings or push to move to another app.
- They ask for money, photos or personal information.
- Their profile seems too good to be true, or has only one or two photos.
Someone looking out for you, every time you meet
Safe Meet is free and built into every plan you host or join. It is not an emergency service: if you are in danger, call your local emergency number first.
- 01
Save trusted contacts
Add up to 3 people you trust, with their name and email. They are not told anything until an alert is needed.
- 02
Start Safe Meet for a plan
For a plan you host or were accepted into, choose a check-in time, up to 12 hours after the plan starts. MyNest reminds you when it is time.
- 03
Check in, or we alert them
If you have not checked in 20 minutes after that time, we email your contacts the plan's name, the place, the city, the time and your first name. The exact meeting point only if you chose to share it.
Privacy controls in your hands
Find these in Settings and on your profile. Change them any time.
Approximate location
Others only see a rough distance. Hide it entirely, choose a city by hand, or skip location. A plan's exact meeting point goes only to the people the host accepts.
Photo visibility
Set each photo to everyone, matches only, only you, or unlock with credits.
Incognito mode
Only people you like can see you.
Hide details
Hide your age, distance and last active time, and turn off read receipts.
Pause your account
Take a break. New people will not see you, and your matches stay.
Block
Blocking someone hides you from each other straight away, ends your chat and keeps you out of each other's plans.
If something feels wrong, tell us
Open their profile, your chat, a plan or a group, tap the menu and choose Report. You can report a profile, a plan, a group or a single message, and block the person at the same time. Reports are confidential, and our team reviews them and acts on objectionable content within 24 hours.
Not in the app? Email info@iplust.in with the member’s name and what happened.
