People can also join ‘Audio Rooms’ where they can talk to groups of other users. A user can pay for LMK Premium to do things like see who swiped right on their profile. The ‘For You’ page allows users to share content and see other people’s content. The app suggests people for a new user to follow. People can earn gems for using the app daily or inviting friends. Gems can be used for things like buying virtual gifts for other people.
The app says young people aged 13 to 17 should have permission from their “legal representative” to create an account. A user must allow the app to access their contacts. They must also provide a photo to be able to see others’ profiles.
There are no parental controls on LMK and there are limited safety settings. For example, a user can hide their profile from other users but this means they cannot see new profiles either. They can also block and report other users. The app uses technology to try to automatically detect inappropriate content but this is not foolproof.
