The real risks, plainly
The person on the other side isn’t verified, can record or screenshot anything you send, and might be trying to scam or manipulate you. Be skeptical of anyone who quickly asks for money, photos, personal details, or to move you to another app.
Most harm online doesn’t come from the conversation itself — it comes from what you choose to reveal during it.
Simple rules that handle most of it
Stay anonymous: no real name, address, phone number, email, or social handles. Never send money or explicit content. Don’t click strange links. If something feels off, leave immediately — you never owe a stranger another second.
These few habits cover the large majority of the risk, on any platform.
How Koguko is built for safety
Koguko is adults-only and account-free, so there’s nothing tying a conversation to your real identity. Ordinary chats aren’t stored by default, and you can report any chat in one tap.
Be clear-eyed about the limits: chats aren’t monitored in real time, so treat everything as public. Only reported or seriously flagged chats are saved — encrypted, and purely for moderation review.

Is it safe to talk to strangers online?
It’s reasonably safe if you stay anonymous and never share personal or financial details. The biggest risk is what you choose to reveal.
What should I never share with an online stranger?
Your real name, address, phone number, email, social handles, financial details, or explicit photos.
Does Koguko monitor chats?
No. Chats aren’t monitored in real time. You can report any chat, and reported or seriously flagged chats are saved, encrypted, for review.
