ARE ANONYMOUS QUESTION
APPS SAFE?

A conservative, honest answer: safety depends on the app and how you use it. Here is what ICL does — and what you can do.

The honest answer

Anonymous question apps can be fun and mostly harmless — but any app that lets people message you without a name needs real safety systems behind it. How safe an app feels depends on its moderation, reporting tools and how you use it.

What ICL ships

Reporting in a few taps, blocking users or links, harmful language filters, controls over who can send you messages, and community guidelines with moderation — even for anonymous responses.

What you can do

Keep questions kind and specific. Report anything harmful instead of engaging. Never share personal information through anonymous links. If an answer crosses a line, block and report it.

A note on claims

No app can promise that anonymous messaging will always feel safe. ICL works to make it safer with the tools above — read the community guidelines and privacy policy for the details.
