group communication solved
youth groups/teams
all safely in the loop
safety first
Smack is the safest platform for teenagers.
-
friend requests can only come from someone who has your personal phone contact saved, or has mutual friends on the app
-
every Personal account is verified through Google/Apple and through SMS text phone number verification - Organization and Business accounts cannot make outbound contact with other users
-
if a minor gets a request from an adult a warning banner appears, repeat requests prompt the minor to block them
-
adults and minors cannot have one-on-one contact in Smack, even if they are friends - all adult-minor communication can only happen in groups of 3 or more
-
all images sent and received by minors, and all images publicly visible (profile photos, discover page) are AI vetted for adult content
-
all messages sent by minors, and all publicly visible messages (discover page) pass through a PG rating swear filter (also filters slurs and derogatory language)
-
all discover page content is highly vetted to be fully age appropriate - additionally any business tagged Nightclub or Bar is not visible to minors
-
all reported content/accounts are reviewed within 24 hours
nothing keeps you safer than education and proper habits
