Safety

Private shouldn't mean unsafe.

Encryption keeps your messages private. These tools keep you in control of who can reach you.

Message requests

People you don't know land in Requests, not your inbox. Accept, ignore or block.

Block and report

Block anyone from their chat or profile. Reports go to our team, who can act on accounts that break the rules.

Forwarding limits

Limits on forwarding slow down chain messages and rumours.

Ghost Mode

Stop sharing your location with everyone, instantly.

SOS

Send an SOS to the contacts you chose, and alert PIING phones nearby over Bluetooth. PIING does not contact emergency services. In an emergency, call 999. If you need a person, open Help at school.

Age

PIING is for people 16 and over. A public or community live is for 18 and over. People under 16 cannot use PIING. Teens and parents
