After Photo Guidelines

Welcome to After, where we're committed to creating a safe, authentic, and respectful dating environment. Our community thrives on genuine connections, so we’ve established some guidelines to help you present yourself in the best light while ensuring that all members feel comfortable and respected.

General Guidelines:

1. Authenticity is Key: Photos should represent you and your personality. Avoid heavily filtered images or those that don't accurately depict who you are. Authenticity is a cornerstone of meaningful connections on After.
2. Face Forward: Profiles with clear, well-lit photos where your face is visible are more likely to engage other users. Photos that do not feature your face may be removed at our discretion.
3. Respectful and Safe Content:some text
   • No Nudity or Explicit Content: Avoid uploading photos that contain nudity or sexually explicit content. This includes suggestive images or images where genitals are visible through clothing.
   • No Violent or Hateful Imagery: Any photos displaying violence, weapons, or hate symbols are strictly prohibited.
   • Avoid Exploitative Images: Photos that include children or any form of exploitation will be removed. This platform is for you to showcase your individuality and interests, not those of others.
4. Contextual Appropriateness:some text
   • No Blank Photos: Photos with plain, empty backgrounds or that are blank will be removed as they do not contribute to the genuine, engaging experience we strive for on After.
   • No Stock Images: Using stock photos or images of people who are not the account owner is prohibited. Your profile should reflect you, not someone else or a generic image.
5. Consent Matters:some text
   • In-Chat Photos: Any explicit or suggestive images shared in chat must be consensual. These types of images should never be sent as an initial message.

Profile Picture Guidelines:

• Showcase Your Personality: Choose photos that highlight your hobbies, interests, or what makes you unique. Whether it's a candid shot or a posed photo, let your personality shine through.
• Keep It Genuine: Avoid photos that are overly edited or filtered. Your profile should be a true reflection of who you are.

Prompt and In-Chat Image Guidelines:

• Stay Within Boundaries: While After encourages creativity in prompts and in-chat photos, it’s important to stay within the boundaries of respect and decency. Images should complement the conversation without making others uncomfortable.
• Avoid Initial Explicit Content: Explicit images should never be sent as an initial message in a chat. Consent and mutual agreement are crucial before sharing such content.

Violations and Reporting: If you come across a photo or receive an image in chat that violates these guidelines, you can report it directly through the app. Our team will review the content and take appropriate action to ensure the safety and well-being of our community.

These guidelines are designed to maintain a respectful and enjoyable environment for all After users. By adhering to these standards, you’re helping us build a community we’re proud of. 

Thank you for being a part of After!
