Wave - Make New Friends & Chat 17+

The app in itself is great. I get lots of adds hourly. I always have somebody new to talk to. And I can see who I swiped right on. However; I screen shotted on accident I got banned for 24 hours. I’m still in the middle of my ban. I ask that they fix this. Like I get wanting privacy and all, but I feel like it should be if you screen shotted multiple times on the same conversation. Or something to tell that the screen shot was on purpose. Also I wish there was a way to block someone. And if there is please tell me all I can do is press the Pass button if I don’t like them, but they can still see my profile. And if a guy I’m talking to on there turns out to be a creep he can still reach out. Even if I pass on his account and delete our conversation he can still get a hold of me on there. Please fix that as well. Thank you for reading this.

Thanks for the review. In the future if you accidentally screen shot and it's a first time violation reach out to support and we can normally reverse it.

If you have matched with you can log press on their name on the contact screen and block them from there. They will not be able to contact you again.

I blocked/declined/reported several accounts/requests promoting NSFW content but they're still coming back with a different/similar name that intend to violate your TOS guidelines: (No NSFW content, no Onlyfans promos etc) I still strongly suggest that you implement a device/IMEI ban from creating new accounts so that they won't come back on Wave and also force people to buy new phones in order to keep using Wave if they familiarize with the guidelines. Anyway it still decent some new friends/streaks but still needs a lot a work. Edit: With the recent update, verification should be completely optional without forcing a VIP membership like many apps like Wink have optional verification. As a person who doesn't like showing my face, I believe I shouldn't have to pay $25 per month (calculation from $5 per week) in order to not have my face on my profile while using the app. Only certain features like showing verified profiles should require verification and the rest of the core features should be left alone, my suggestion is you should require everyone to a have a phone number verification to keep bots out just like Mapsy does.

Thanks for the feedback, we will take it into account. So far the verified feature has been pretty good in removing fake accounts/bots, and we still have backend changes we are implementing to make it even more effective. We are also working on updating our device banning feature to make it more reliable, as most of the issues we deal with are from a handful of users with multiple accounts.

Be careful of what information you give people! Or images you share with them it’s the Internet you don’t know who’s in the other end of the screen. And in case you do share something you shouldn’t have(and they just have your phone number) don’t listen to what they tell you to do. I mean regardless you shouldn’t listen to what they tell you. They make a “post” of you and said image saying they’ll expose you. They’d also use a free phone number lookup which doesn’t give much information other than the general location of you. You’ll be fine no damage can be done to you if they just have your phone number. IF YOU HAPPEN to give them your instagram just delete your instagram and make a new one. Lol maybe some people will see it but you shouldn’t give these people what they want. WISH YOU ALL THE BEST!!

Very helpful tips! We ban shady users every day but it’s hard to catch them all as soon as they are created. We have recently implemented new tools to make our banning more effective.
