Selfie verification before messaging

Every profile has to pass a selfie check before it can send a single message. One person, one verified face.

Block from any screen

Blocking is one tap away wherever you are in the app. A blocked person disappears from your discovery, chats and Hook Tonight.

Report, reviewed by humans

Every report goes to a human moderation team. We do not rely on automated decisions alone for anything that affects a person's safety.

18+

Adults only

HookUs is for people aged 18 and over. Accounts that fail age checks are removed.

Privacy by default

Your profile is not indexed by search engines. Private albums stay private until you choose to share them.

Intent on every profile

Stated intent reduces the mismatches and pressure that cause most bad experiences on dating apps.

Questions people ask

How does HookUs verify people?

Every profile must pass a selfie verification before it can send a message. The selfie is matched to the profile photos so the person you are talking to is the person in the pictures.

What happens when I report someone on HookUs?

A human moderation team reviews every report. Depending on what they find, the account can be warned, restricted or removed. You will not be matched with the person again.

Is my HookUs profile visible on Google?

No. Member profiles are behind login and are not indexed by search engines.

Is HookUs safe for hookups?

HookUs adds verification, one-tap block and report, and human moderation. Combine that with the basics: meet in public first, tell a friend, keep your own way home and never send money to anyone you have not met.
