If you encounter any content posted in your group that you find inappropriate or violates community guidelines, you can report it to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all users.

Group Privacy

Groups on Tether are built with privacy in mind. You can only:

  1. Create a group for yourself and invite others to join by sharing a code, SMS invite or email invite. You cannot search for other users on Tether.

  2. You can be invited by another user to join a group, but you must accept the invite. There is no public directory to find or discover groups, you must be invited.

  3. You can always leave a group at anytime.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Identify the Content:

    • Locate the post or comment within the group you find inappropriate.
