Walk Up & Talk is built for real-world connection. Here's how to keep yourself safe when taking conversations from the app into the real world.
For your first meeting, always choose somewhere busy and public — a coffee shop, park, shopping centre, or restaurant. Never meet for the first time at someone's home or a private location.
Before you meet, let a trusted friend or family member know who you're meeting, where, and when. Share your match's profile details with them.
Make sure your phone is fully charged before you go. Keep location sharing on so a friend can find you if needed.
Drive yourself, use public transport, or book your own rideshare. Don't rely on your date for a ride — it gives you the freedom to leave whenever you want.
Never leave your drink unattended and don't accept drinks from a stranger that you didn't see poured. If something feels wrong, trust your gut.
Get comfortable chatting before sharing personal details like your home address, workplace, or last name. Take your time.
If something feels off, leave. You don't owe anyone an explanation. Your safety comes first, always.
Be wary of anyone who asks for money, gift cards, or financial information — even after building a connection. This is a common scam.
If someone behaves inappropriately, use the report and block features in the app. Your report helps protect everyone on the platform.
