Safety on Ability Amore
Meeting new people online should feel good. We built Ability Amore with safety checks from the start, because people with disability deserve a place to make friends and date without worrying about who is on the other side of the screen.
This page explains how we keep the app safe, what we don’t allow, and what to do if something feels wrong.
Adults only
Ability Amore is for people aged 18 and over. No one under 18 is allowed on the app. If an account looks suspicious, we may ask that person to prove their age.
Verified profiles
Ability Amore uses profile and ID verification to help show that the person you’re talking to is real. It makes it much harder for someone to set up a fake profile.
Video profile introductions give you another easy check. You can see and hear someone before you decide to chat.
A real team checks reports
Ability Amore uses safety checks, manual review and abuse detection. When someone makes a report, our moderation team reviews it straight away and escalates it where needed.
Keep your chats in the app
You can send messages, and make voice and video calls, without leaving Ability Amore. You don’t need to give anyone your phone number, email or social media to get to know them.
We suggest keeping your chats in the app until you know someone well. If a person pushes you to move to another app early on, treat it as a warning sign.
What we don't allow
Our rules cover messages, photos, voice calls and video calls. Members must not use Ability Amore to:
- abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or menace anyone
- send obscene, indecent or offensive content
- do anything unlawful
We have zero tolerance for anything that involves or tries to harm a child. Those accounts are permanently banned and reported to police.
If someone breaks these rules, we can suspend their account.
How to report someone
If something makes you uncomfortable, report it.
- Use the report option in the app.
- Our moderation team reviews the report straight away.
- We take action, which can include suspending or banning the account.
You can also email us at info@abilityamore.com.au.
Your own safety checklist
The app’s safety features work best alongside a few good habits:
- Take things slowly. There’s no rush to meet in person.
- Never send money to someone you’ve met online.
- Keep your address, bank details and passwords private.
- Have a video call before you meet.
- Meet in a busy public place for a first date, and tell someone you trust where you’ll be.
