Most people who help are kind and reliable. A few simple habits make every first meeting safer.
Before you say yes
- Read the profile and reviews.
- Keep all talking and planning inside the app chat.
When you meet
- Meet in a public place when the job allows it.
- Tell a friend where you are and when you expect to finish.
- Add emergency contacts in the app so they can be reached if you need help.
- Do not share your phone number, bank details, or door codes.
If something feels wrong
You can leave at any time. Tap Report or Block in the chat. If you are in danger, call 911 first. The Urgent help screen shows your emergency number right away.
