Report a problem
If someone makes you uncomfortable or breaks our rules, use the in-app Report tool — reporting someone automatically blocks them, so you immediately stop seeing each other. You can also contact us at support@zova.to. If you're ever in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first.
