Safety & Privacy Tips

Protect yourself while using Afafi. Follow these important tips to maintain your privacy and uphold Islamic boundaries.

Keep Personal Info Private

Avoid sharing your exact city, workplace, or personal contact information. Sharing your country is sufficient.

Avoid Using Last Names

Use only your first name or a preferred display name. Avoid anything that could make you easily identifiable outside the app.

No Phone Numbers or Socials

All communication should stay within Afafi. Don’t share WhatsApp, Instagram, or phone numbers—this helps maintain halal interaction.

Be General with Education Info

It’s fine to mention your course or field of study, but avoid sharing the exact name of your school or university.

Wali-Approved Chats Only

All chats are monitored by the Wali. Never attempt to bypass the system by sharing personal contact information.

Report Suspicious Behavior

If someone asks for private details, appears dishonest, or makes you uncomfortable, report them using the in-app tools.
