Safety & trust

Are language exchange apps safe?

Language exchange apps are generally safe when they provide moderation, easy reporting and blocking, an age gate and privacy controls — and when you keep personal details private until you trust the other person.

What makes a language exchange app safe

  • Clear community guidelines every member agrees to.
  • One-tap reporting and blocking.
  • Active moderation of reported content.
  • An age gate and privacy controls.

How to protect yourself

Keep your address, school or workplace private, prefer in-app chat and calls over moving to other platforms, and trust your instincts — report anyone who makes you uncomfortable. Apps like Linga Chat build these tools in so you can focus on practicing your language.
