Reler Safety Center - Built Around Safety

For Users

Safety Center

Reler is intentionally designed around safety. Here, you’ll find clear guidance on how to stay safe while using Reler, as well as learn about the steps we take — such as age verifying 100% of users — to protect our community every step of the way.

How to Use Reler Safely

Everyone on Reler is age-verified.

Before anyone can use Reler, they must pass AI-Based Age Verification powered by Yoti — the same age verification system used by Instagram and Facebook. It is just a selfie, the image is not stored, and not able to identify the user personally. Read more about Yoti here.

A verified checkmark = real social trust.

The Verified badge means the user has also been confirmed by their real-life friends on Reler.
Think of it like a “this person is actually goes to this school” signal.
Prioritize connecting with Verified profiles.

Smart things to remember while using Reler:

Use real information. Use your real grade, school, and photos. This helps keep Reler authentic and safer for everyone.
Keep your profile school-appropriate. Photos and bios should be respectful and appropriate. If you see a profile that looks unsafe or violates our guidelines, report it.
You are in control. A like is not a commitment. You never owe anyone a follow, an add, or an add-back.
Prioritize verified profiles. If someone is not verified, it means they have not been confirmed by peers from their school in the app.
Trust your instincts and report what feels off. If something does not seem right, use the Report button. Our U.S.-based Trust and Safety team reviews reports and flagged profiles.

How We Keep You Safe on Reler

100% User Age Verification

Before anyone can use Reler, they must pass AI-Based Age Verification powered by Yoti — the same age verification system used by Instagram and Facebook. It is just a selfie, the image is not stored, and not able to identify the user personally. Read more about Yoti here.

School Verification (peer-to-peer checkmark)

Users can verify peers from their school using unique multi-digit codes. When a user enters a peer's code, we cross-check their school data, and if they match, both users receive one (1) Friend Verification each. Users can verify with up to five (5) peers. The Verified Checkmark is intended to add an extra layer of trust. It means the user has been confirmed by real-life peers from their school in the app — not just by a system.

School Verification (school-issued email)

Soon-to-be mandatory school verification measure, utilizing school-issued email addresses and authentication codes. Currently in development and estimated to arrive in 2026.

No Private Messaging

Reler doesn’t have private DMs.
Instead, you can choose to add someone on social media only when you want to.

Content Moderation

Photos and bios are reviewed upon upload using Google's Vision AI moderation technology.
If something isn’t okay, it's blocked — repeated blocks result in an account flag that is then reviewed by our in-house Trust & Safety team.

In-App Popups

We show in-app popups to remind users how to use the app safely, and to encourage them to use available safety tools — such as our Report button — if needed.

User Report System

Users can report a profile in just two taps, and are encouraged to do so if they think it could violate our guidelines.

U.S. Human Moderation

Our in-house Trust & Safety team reviews reports and flagged profiles promptly and takes action as appropriate.
