About FOMO™
FOMO is a private social networking app designed for close friend groups. Users create and join circles (groups that are private by default) to share photos, videos, short-form content (Fliks), thoughts, and messages with the people they care about most.
Minimum Age
FOMO is for adults. You must be 18 or older to use it. When you sign up, you enter your date of birth and confirm that you are 18 or older, and the app does not let anyone younger create an account. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, we close it and delete its personal information.
This requirement is set out in our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We chose 18+ to reflect that FOMO involves user-generated content, direct messaging, and proximity-based sharing, features best suited to adult users who can make informed decisions about how they share with their friends.
Store Ratings
FOMO is for people 18 and older. App store ratings describe the kind of content an app may contain, not who may sign up. Whatever rating a store shows, our Terms require every user to be at least 18 years of age.
Content Considerations
- User-Generated Content: Users can share photos, videos, and text posts in circles. Posts in a private circle are visible only to its members. A circle’s owner can make it public; anyone on FOMO can then find it, join it, and see what is posted there.
- Direct Messaging: Users can send private messages to other people on FOMO, unless one of them has blocked the other.
- Infrequent Mature Content: As with any social platform, user-shared content may occasionally include profanity, suggestive themes, nudity, or references to alcohol and tobacco. Images we detect as sensitive are blurred until the viewer taps them.
Safety Measures
- Circles are private by default. Joining a private circle takes an invite or proximity-based sharing (Bump).
- Circle owners can choose to make a circle public, and profiles are public unless you turn Public Profile off in Settings. Anyone on FOMO can find public circles and public profiles in search. A public profile shows your name, username, photo, badges, bio, and banner, not your posts.
- Everyone is added to the FOMO Official circle, which is public and where only FOMO posts. You can leave it.
- The Explore feed shows posts only from circles you belong to and from FOMO, newest first. There are no friend suggestions and no recommended content.
- Users can report inappropriate content and accounts, and block other users. In circles and group chats you share with someone you blocked, you may still see each other’s content.
- No gambling, loot boxes, or in-app purchases involving chance-based rewards.
- FOMO maintains published Child Safety Standards and reports suspected child sexual abuse material to NCMEC and applicable authorities.
