Video call vs anonymous text chat
The app is built around live video. Text is there for when a camera is the wrong tool, not as a second social network.
Video is the default: face, voice, less room to catfish with a stolen photo album. It is also higher stakes. Your room is in the shot. Your voice is in the shot. If you are not ready for that, do not start a video match to be polite.
When text is enough
Anonymous chat (where the app offers it) is for a typed conversation without opening the camera. You are still 18+. You can still report and block. You are still talking to a stranger. Do not treat text as a place to send images of minors or to move a banned conversation “where the blur cannot see it.” The same community standards apply.
Switching
A video call can include an in-call text pane so you can share a spelling or a link you would rather not say out loud. That pane is part of the same session. It is not a side channel that bypasses report. If you want to keep talking later, that is what friends are for — not a pastebin of your WhatsApp number in the first message.
If someone refuses video, insults you for keeping the camera off, or demands you “prove” you are real with a humiliating prompt, leave. You do not audition.
