UpNext Community Guidelines
This page is a plain-language summary. UpNext’s full Terms of Service and Community Guidelines are being finalised with our lawyers and will be published on this page. Until then, this summary describes the rules the app enforces today.
Be a real person
- One person, one account. Run your own account yourself, and grow your followers honestly.
- Be yourself. Use your own identity. Impersonation can be reported.
- 13 and over. UpNext is for ages 13 and up. Accounts that seem to belong to someone younger can be reported.
What you post
- No nudity or sexual content, anywhere. That includes private chats. Explicit images are checked for and blocked on the phone before they’re sent, and again on the phone that receives them. No community setting changes this.
- No harassment, hate or threats. Slurs and threats in posts and comments are refused when you post them.
- No content that encourages self-harm or suicide, and no spam or scams.
- Your own work. Post what you made or have the rights to share. Stolen or copyrighted content can be reported.
- Label AI. AI content is welcome when it’s labelled AI-made or AI-edited.
Communities
- Community admins set house rules for their space: who can post and create events, how people join, and language rules like masking swearing for teens.
- Communities can add their own rules on top of these guidelines.
Teens
- Teen accounts are private by default, and only friends can message them.
- If someone sends an explicit image in a chat with a teen, their messaging is paused until a person reviews it, and the teen’s app blocks the sender.
Reporting
- Report a post, comment, profile, community or chat from the app. Every report reaches the Avlory team, and posts with enough reports are hidden while a person looks.
- Chats are end-to-end encrypted, so we only see what you choose to send with a chat report.
- If we remove something of yours, you can appeal from the app.
