Community Standards

Effective July 20, 2026

Phomo is for real events with people you know or were invited to join. Hosts share a code or link; there is no discovery feed and no way to stumble into strangers’ albums.

You are responsible for what you post — photos, profile pictures, event covers, usernames, and event text. These rules apply to everyone.

What does not belong on Phomo

• Anything illegal.
• Sexual content involving minors — we will remove it and report it.
• Non-consensual intimate images, creepshots, or revenge sharing.
• Harassment, threats, hate, or targeted bullying.
• Spam, scams, impersonation, or trying to break reporting or blocking.
• Content that exploits, endangers, or sexualizes someone without their consent.

Invite-only does not mean anything goes. Only add people you trust, and speak up when something is off.

How Phomo handles safety

• Hosts can end events and remove participants where the app allows.
• You can delete your own uploads and delete your account at any time.
• During the shared gallery window after an event, you can report a photo or block a user from the ⋯ menu on a photo.
• We review reports and can remove content or restrict accounts that break these rules.

We do not run automated scanning on every upload today. Most safety on Phomo comes from small groups, host control, and people reporting problems.

Reporting

In the app (shared gallery):

1. Open a photo in the post-event gallery.
2. Tap ⋯ → Report photo.
3. Pick a reason.

Reports are only available during the shared gallery window after an event unlocks. If you need help outside that window, email us.

By email: write to xrhuang10@gmail.com with:

• What happened (photo, user, or event).
• The event code or name, and roughly when it happened.
• Why it breaks these standards.
• Screenshots if they help — do not attach illegal material you do not need to send.

We aim to review valid reports of serious or illegal content within 24 hours, including removing content and restricting the account responsible when that is warranted.

Blocking

• Block from a photo’s ⋯ menu during the shared gallery, or manage blocks in Profile → Blocked users.
• The other person is not notified.
• In a shared gallery, you and someone you blocked (or who blocked you) will not see each other’s photos. It is a visibility filter, not a ban from the event itself.
• Blocking is for your comfort. If content is illegal or dangerous, report it too.

Consequences

Breaking these standards can mean content removal, being removed from events, account restrictions, or a permanent ban. Serious violations may be referred to law enforcement.
