How to report someone on video chat
Short answer: there is no report button on the call screen. Reporting happens from the other person's profile page, so the real sequence is to leave the call first, open their profile, and report from there. This page walks through those steps, explains what the reason list and the review notice actually mean, and covers the short list of things worth reporting rather than skipping past.
Report is not on the call screen
The call screen keeps a deliberately small set of controls: the microphone and camera toggles, gifts, quick messages, Next, and hang up. Report is not one of them, and neither is block. Both live on the other person's profile page instead. There is no combined menu to dig through either — the profile page carries a report option and a block option as separate controls. Knowing that in advance saves you from searching a call screen for a button that was never there.
The steps to report someone
- Get out of the call first. Tap Next to move to a different person, or hang up if you would rather stop. You cannot report from inside a call, and leaving does not cancel your ability to report afterwards.
- Open the other person's profile page. This is where both report and block live.
- Choose report. It opens a separate reporting page rather than firing something off silently in the background.
- Pick a reason from the list. The reasons are supplied by the app, so you choose the closest fit rather than writing a free-form complaint. You can attach a screenshot as evidence if you have one.
- Submit. The reporting screen states plainly that reports are reviewed within 24 hours, and that false reports may lead to restrictions on your own account — which is exactly why you pick the reason that actually fits rather than the most severe one on the list.
Report while you can still identify the account
Reporting is far more useful done promptly than done later. Random video chat moves quickly, and once you have gone through several more matches the account you wanted to flag is harder to find and the moderation team has less to work with. If something is worth reporting, do it right after you leave — while you can still open that profile — rather than hours and a dozen matches later.
When to report instead of just skipping
Most matches that do not work out only need a skip. Skipping is the ordinary way a random conversation ends, both sides do it, and nobody is owed one. Reporting is for a shorter, firmer list:
- Anyone who appears to be underage. These services are for adults. If someone looks like a minor, report rather than skip — skipping only hands them to whoever is matched next, while a report is the action that actually goes somewhere.
- Nudity or sexual content you did not ask for. Exposing yourself to someone who did not consent is the fastest route to a ban, and it is worth reporting when it is aimed at you.
- Threats, slurs, or targeted abuse. Report rather than argue back; staying to respond just keeps you in the room with them.
- Pressure to undress or do something after you declined. Asking once and accepting no is a conversation. Repeating the request after a no is harassment.
- Recording or screenshotting you without asking. The other side did not consent to being kept either, and in some regions non-consensual recording is treated as a legal matter rather than only a rules one.
What reporting is, and what it is not
A report is not a punishment you hand out personally — it is information passed to the moderation team, which runs around the clock. That is also why it is worth using accurately. Reporting someone for being boring, awkward, or simply not your type clogs the queue that exists to catch the genuinely harmful behaviour above. The rule of thumb is simple: skip for anything that is merely not a fit, and save reports for the short list.
If you also never want to be matched with that person again, that is a separate control. The companion piece on block or report covers what each one does and when to use both, and how moderation works explains where a report goes once you send it. For the flip side — what tends to get people skipped or reported in the first place — see video chat etiquette.
Common questions
Is there a report button during the call? No. The call screen only has the microphone and camera toggles, gifts, quick messages, Next, and hang up. Report and block are both reached from the other person's profile page, so you leave the call first and then open their profile.
Can you report someone after the call has ended? Yes. Reporting is done from their profile page rather than during the call, so it is something you do just after leaving. Do it promptly, while you can still identify the account.
Do you have to explain the report in your own words? No. You pick a reason from the list the app provides and can add a screenshot as evidence; you do not have to build a case.
What if someone looks underage? Report it rather than skipping. Skipping only passes them to the next person, and a report is the action that reaches the moderation team.
Should you report or block? They are different tools. A report goes to moderation; blocking simply means that person will not be matched with you again. You can do both.
