What to do with an unwanted anonymous message.
When an anonymous message arrives, you do not have to understand it, judge the sender's intent, or respond. If it feels uncomfortable, worrying, or unsafe, trust that reaction and create distance. In Fortune, the receiver's safety comes before the chance encounter with words or music.
Do not rush to reply or decide what it means
You have no obligation to answer anonymous words. You also do not need to stay with the message while trying to decide whether it is serious or true. Closing the screen, stepping away from the device, or talking to someone you trust can be the first useful response.
Close content you do not want to receive
Fortune's receiving experience lets you close a message and move on. You do not have to save or reread something that does not feel gentle or safe. Closing it is not a public judgment about another person; it is a basic way to control what you keep in your own attention.
Report content that feels harmful or unsafe
Use reporting for threats, harassment, hateful content, personal information, or unsafe pressure to leave the service. A report is not a public callout or a way to collect reactions. It is a quiet route for the service to review content and make an appropriate safety decision.
Do not open suspicious links or share personal details
Do not follow unknown URLs or requests to share an address, school, workplace, current location, or private contact details. Anonymous messages are not an invitation to identify someone, meet them, or move into private contact. If a link feels uncertain, leave it unopened and step away.
Seek help beyond the service when there is real-world danger
If a message contains a specific threat or suggests an immediate risk to you or someone else, do not rely only on an in-app report. Contact someone you trust and the appropriate local emergency service or public authority for the situation.
FAQ
Do I have to reply to an anonymous message?
No. Fortune is not a reply-driven chat service. If a message feels uncomfortable, unsafe, or simply wrong for the moment, you can close it without responding.
What kinds of anonymous messages can I report?
You can report content that crosses a safety boundary, including threats, harassment, hateful content, personal information, unsafe links, or strong pressure to leave the service.
Can I find or contact the person who sent it?
Fortune is not for profile search, matching, or direct contact. It is for encountering anonymous messages, music, gentle words, or a small supportive moment by chance.
What if I am unsure whether a link is safe?
Do not open it. Avoid entering personal information or moving to another contact channel, close the message, and report it when appropriate.
