XO exists to help the global African diaspora meet intentionally. These guidelines apply to every profile, photo, message, voice intro, and interaction on the platform.
Be yourself
- Use your real name and recent photos of yourself.
- One account per person. No catfishing, no fake profiles.
- Complete verification to unlock the full experience.
Be respectful
- No harassment, hate speech, slurs, or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, orientation, or disability.
- No sexual content, nudity, or solicitation. XO is not a hookup app.
- No graphic violence, gore, or content glorifying self-harm.
- Consent matters — never share private photos, messages, or contact info of another member.
Be safe
- Never send money, crypto, or gift cards to anyone you met on XO.
- Report romance scams, investment pitches, or off-platform "WhatsApp only" requests immediately.
- Meet in public the first time. Tell a friend. Trust your gut.
Stay on-platform
- No advertising, recruiting, escorting, or commercial solicitation.
- No spam, automation, scraping, or bulk messaging.
- Do not post links to external dating apps or competing platforms.
Protect minors
XO is strictly 18+. Any content involving minors is reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and the relevant authorities. Zero tolerance — accounts are banned permanently and devices blocklisted.
Enforcement
Depending on severity, we may:
- Warn and require profile edits.
- Hide your profile from discovery.
- Suspend messaging or matching.
- Permanently terminate your account and refuse future registration.
- Refer to law enforcement for criminal conduct.
Report something
Use the in-app "Report" button on any profile or chat, or visit the Safety Center. We review every report and act fast on credible threats.
