Staying safe on Zaplog
Practical ways to protect your account, your privacy and yourself on Zaplog.
Protect your account
- Set an Account PIN. It stops anyone with a code texted to your number from taking over your account.
- Never share a code. Zaplog will never call, text or email you for a sign-in code or your PIN. Anyone asking is trying to take over your account.
- Add a verified email address so you can recover your account.
- Check Linked devices now and then, and log out any you don't recognize.
- Turn on App lock if other people use your phone.
Control who can reach you
- Choose who sees your last seen, photos and About.
- Decide who can find you by username and add you to groups.
- Messages from people who found you by username wait in Requests.
- Block and report anyone who bothers you. They aren't told.
Share carefully
- Chats and calls are end-to-end encrypted, but people can still screenshot or forward what you send. Use view once or disappearing messages for sensitive things.
- Content in public ZapRooms can be seen by anyone. Don't post personal details there.
- Only share your QR code with people you want to hear from.
- Share your live location only with people you trust, and stop it when you're done.
