Question 1

Is my data encrypted?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All sensitive content is encrypted using industry-standard encryption. Your data is protected both in transit and at rest.

Question 2

How does anonymity work on Huni?

Accepted Answer

Your username IS your pseudonym. We do not show your real name, email, IP, or any other identifying detail — every post and comment is labelled with the username you chose at sign-up. So pick a username that nobody can connect back to you: avoid your real name, email handle, work nickname, or any handle you use on Twitter/Reddit/Instagram. We have taken extensive measures (no name fields, no public emails, encrypted PII at rest, no cross-platform linking) but there is always a small residual risk if you choose a username someone recognises.

Question 3

How do bans and strikes work?

Accepted Answer

Huni uses a progressive strike system for content violations: Strike 1 is a warning, Strike 2 removes the post, Strike 3 is a 30-day temp ban, and Strike 4+ results in a permanent ban with IP restriction. Additionally, a 3-level ban system exists for other violations. All bans are appealable.

Question 4

Is Huni a dating site? Can I use the Romance tag to find someone?

Accepted Answer

No. Huni is an anonymous confession and storytelling platform. The Romance category, the Relationships sub-category, and any romance/dating/breakup/marriage/attraction tags exist only to organise FIRST-PERSON STORIES on those topics — not to match users with each other. Huni is not a dating site, hook-up app, escort service, matchmaking service, or relationship-brokerage platform, and Huni does not facilitate the formation of romantic or sexual relationships between users. Using Huni to solicit dates, hook-ups, sexual encounters, marriage proposals, sugar arrangements, or paid companionship — via posts, comments, DMs, or profile content — is a Terms violation that can bypass the normal strike escalation and result in immediate suspension. Huni accepts no responsibility for interactions, meetings, or relationships (online or offline) that arise between users from Romance-tagged content. If you choose to share contact info or meet someone off-platform, you do so entirely at your own risk; Huni cannot verify the identity, age, location, or stated relationship status of any user. See Terms §16a for the full policy.

Question 5

How do I earn money?

Accepted Answer

You can earn money through donations from readers who appreciate your content. Donations go to your wallet, and you can withdraw using your preferred payout method.

Question 6

What languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

Huni supports 10 languages with full translation: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, and Chinese.

Question 7

How does safety scanning work?

Accepted Answer

Huni uses automated pattern detection to flag potentially harmful content. Flagged content is then reviewed by moderators to ensure accuracy and fairness.

Question 8

How do I create an ad campaign?

Accepted Answer

Go to your Dashboard and open the Advertising tab. Create an ad first, then set up a campaign with targeting, budget, and schedule. Campaigns are reviewed by admins before going live.

Question 9

How does gifting work?

Accepted Answer

You can gift group invites, live session access, or premium memberships to other users. Go to Dashboard > Gifts, choose a gift type, enter the recipient, and send. They receive a unique code to redeem.

Question 10

What are the premium membership tiers?

Accepted Answer

Huni currently offers two premium tiers: Basic ($1.99/mo) and Plus ($3.99/mo). Each tier unlocks additional features like ad-free browsing, more posts per day, audio confessions, creator subscriptions, and profile badges. Save up to 40% with annual billing. (A Pro tier is on the roadmap and will be re-enabled once the underlying features ship.)

Question 11

How do Huni Diaries work?

Accepted Answer

Diaries let you create an anonymous journal with date-based entries. Readers follow your diary to get updates. You can backfill entries for past dates but never future dates. Enable donations to let supporters tip your writing.

Question 12

What are Huni Stories?

Accepted Answer

Huni Stories is a dedicated section for sharing real stories, experiences, and narratives. Add tags for discoverability, attach media, and engage through comments and reactions. Filter by time range and sort by trending, popular, or most discussed.

Question 13

How do cover images work?

Accepted Answer

When creating aspirations or diaries, you can add customizable cover images. Choose from Full Width, Centered, or Split layouts. Drag to reposition, zoom in/out, and use two images for split layouts.

Question 14

Can I upload videos?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can upload MP4, WebM, and MOV videos up to 50MB alongside images. Videos are supported on all post types including confessions, diary entries, and aspiration updates.

Question 15

Where are my uploaded files?

Accepted Answer

All your uploaded images and videos appear in Dashboard > Media tab. You can see which post each file belongs to, rename it, or delete it.

Question 16

What is Huni Bookworms?

Accepted Answer

Huni Bookworms is a dedicated category for honest confessions about books. Share reviews, hot takes, guilty pleasures, and reading experiences. All posts must relate to books or literary topics — off-topic posts are subject to the strike system.

Question 17

How does the Identity Reveal system work?

Accepted Answer

Users can request the identity of anonymous post authors. The author (Revealer) can accept or decline. The NDA is optional — the Revealer decides. Either party can propose a monetary exchange. Bulk reveals to multiple users are supported. After terms are agreed, the Revealer shares social media links for verification. Huni takes no responsibility for outcomes.

Question 18

What is the NDA and is it legally binding?

Accepted Answer

The Non-Disclosure Agreement is a digital contract signed by both parties during an identity reveal. It prohibits sharing revealed information and can be used as evidence in legal proceedings. Your full name, IP address, and timestamp are recorded when you sign.

Question 19

How do digital autographs work?

Accepted Answer

Any user can create autographs with messages, greetings, images, or videos using customizable templates. Each collected autograph is digitally unique with a mint number and cryptographic hash (like an NFT). Authors can charge a price or make them free, and optionally limit the total supply.

Question 20

What are Momentary Hunis?

Accepted Answer

Momentary Hunis are temporary posts that self-destruct after a chosen duration (10 minutes to 24 hours). Once the timer expires, the post is permanently removed from public view and all associated interactions — reactions, comments, shares, and bookmarks — are deleted. An encrypted archive is retained for safety purposes only.

Question 21

How do Momentary Hunis work?

Accepted Answer

Momentary Hunis are self-destructing posts. When you create one, you choose a duration (10 minutes to 24 hours). A live countdown appears on the post. When time runs out, the post and all its interactions — comments, reactions, shares, bookmarks — are permanently deleted. Screenshot protection is also enabled to safeguard the content while it's live.

Question 22

Can I invite friends who aren't on Huni?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Use your personal invite code or share a direct invite link via email, SMS, or any messaging app. On mobile, you can sync your contacts to find friends already on Huni and send invites to those who aren't. Invite codes expire after 30 days.

Question 23

What is the loyalty program?

Accepted Answer

The Huni Loyalty Program rewards you for every interaction. Earn points for posting (10pts), commenting (3pts), reacting (1pt), diary entries (5pts), hosting live sessions (20pts), and daily streaks (2pts). Progress through 5 levels: Newcomer, Contributor, Enthusiast, Champion, and Legend. Points and levels are for engagement recognition only and have no monetary value.

Question 24

How do I report someone?

Accepted Answer

You can report any post, comment, or user by clicking the three-dot menu and selecting "Report". Choose a reason (harassment, spam, prohibited content, etc.), add optional details, and submit. Reports are reviewed by moderators and appropriate action is taken. You'll receive a notification when your report is resolved.

Question 25

What are Founders Awards?

Accepted Answer

Founders Awards are honorary badges given to early platform supporters. There are three types: Founder (gold), Early Adopter (silver), and Contributor (bronze). They appear on your profile as recognition of your early participation.

Question 26

Can I react with multiple emojis on one post?

Accepted Answer

No, you can select one reaction per post. Tap the react button to choose, or tap again to change your reaction.

Question 27

Are Live Hunis and Reviews available?

Accepted Answer

Live Hunis and Huni Reviews are coming soon. These features are temporarily disabled while we finalize them for launch.

Question 28

Why do I need to verify my email?

Accepted Answer

Email verification unlocks content creation features like posting hunis, creating groups, writing stories, and starting diaries. You can browse, read, react, and follow without verifying. Check your email for a 6-digit code after signing up, or request a new one from the banner at the top of the page.

Question 29

What is Huni Q&A and how do I post one?

Accepted Answer

Huni Q&A is a third post type alongside regular Hunis and Momentary Hunis. You ask a question and the community answers in the comments. To post one, tap "Post Huni Q&A" on the home page (or visit /confessions/new?qa=true), pick a pre-made prompt — like "Never have I ever...", "What lie do you tell yourself most often?", "What's a skill you're secretly proud of?" — or write your own. Adding extra context is optional. The answers come back as comments, anonymous by default.

Question 30

How do the Q&A prompt categories work?

Accepted Answer

Prompts are grouped into five vibes you can filter by: 🧊 Icebreaker (light, fun get-to-know prompts), 🪞 Reflective (introspective, slow questions), 🌶️ Spicy (controversial-opinion / petty / unfiltered), 🌱 Wholesome (uplifting, kindness-based), and 🤫 Confession (the prompts that hit the original purpose of the platform). Pick a category in the composer to narrow the prompt list, or browse all of them.

Question 31

What are comment heat tags and the glow?

Accepted Answer

Comments earn auto-applied heat tags once they cross engagement thresholds — ⭐ Top Reply (lots of overall reactions), 🌶️ Hot Take (controversial mix of fire/angry reactions), 💬 Sparked Debate (3+ replies threaded under it), 💯 Relatable (most reactions are "relatable"), 🌱 Wholesome (most reactions are heart/clap). Tagged comments get a multi-coloured glowing border that pulses to draw the eye. The platform never stores the tag itself — it's recomputed from raw reaction and reply counts so it stays honest as the conversation evolves.

Question 32

How do I filter comments by heat tag?

Accepted Answer

Above the comment list on any post, you'll see filter chips: All, Top Reply, Hot Take, Sparked Debate, Relatable, Wholesome. Tap a chip to show only top-level comments that match — replies are still threaded underneath their parent regardless of the filter. This is especially useful on Huni Q&A posts where dozens of answers can pile up; "Relatable" or "Wholesome" lets you skim the strongest ones first.

Question 33

How do reactions on comments work?

Accepted Answer

Each comment has five quick reactions you can tap: ❤️ Heart, 😂 Laugh, 👏 Clap, 🔥 Fire, 💯 Relatable. Tap once to react, tap again to remove. Reactions are persisted server-side, counts are public, and the heat-tag system above is computed from these counts. You can pick more than one reaction per comment.

Question 34

How does the Friends system work?

Accepted Answer

You can add other users as friends by their HuniWhisp username. Go to your Profile → Friends tab, type their @username, and send a friend request. They can Accept or Decline from their own Friends tab. Friendships are symmetric — once accepted, both of you see each other in your friends list. Either side can unfriend at any time. Friends-only DMs (see Private Mode) are the main reason to use the friend graph.

Question 35

What is Private Mode and how do I turn it on?

Accepted Answer

Private Mode restricts your direct messages to confirmed friends only. When it is on, anyone who is NOT in your friends list cannot start a new conversation with you or send a new message in an existing conversation — though existing conversation history stays visible to both sides. Strangers can still read your public posts; this only affects DMs. Toggle it from Profile → Preferences → Privacy. Default is OFF.

Question 36

What does my public profile look like and what controls it?

Accepted Answer

Your public profile is at huniwhisp.com/u/{your-username}. It can show your posts, diaries, aspirations, autographs, friend count, and member-since date. You control which sections are visible from Profile → Preferences → Public Profile — six toggles, all default ON. Anonymous posts are NEVER surfaced on a public profile regardless of toggle state — only items where you chose to attribute yourself.

Question 37

What happens if an admin resets my password?

Accepted Answer

A super-admin can issue a temporary password if you contact support locked out. You will receive the temporary password by email and all your existing sessions will be signed out. On your next login the app will force you through the change-password flow before you can use anything else — pick a new password that is different from the temporary one.

Question 38

How do I send feedback or report a bug?

Accepted Answer

On desktop, use the floating chat-bubble button at the bottom-right of any page. On mobile web and the Android app, open the bottom-nav profile drawer and pick Send Feedback. The widget supports three types: Feedback (general), Bug Report (something is broken), Feature Request (something you would like). Subject and message are required; the page URL is included automatically so we can reproduce.

Question 39

Why do I see a checklist on the home page after signing up?

Accepted Answer

The Onboarding Checklist walks you through six first-step actions — verify your email, customize your profile, post your first confession, try a Momentary Huni, add a friend, and explore Diaries. Steps tick off automatically as you complete them. Click the X to dismiss it permanently; it also auto-hides once all six are done.

Question 40

How do I search for posts, users, or groups?

Accepted Answer

Desktop: use the search bar in the top navigation. Mobile web and the Android app: tap the magnifying-glass icon in the top header to open a slide-down search panel. Each main category page (Diaries, Stories, Reviews, Bookworms, Aspirations) also has its own inline search box for narrowing results within that section. User results link to the public profile at /u/{username}.

Question 41

How do I switch between light and dark mode?

Accepted Answer

HuniWhisp defaults to LIGHT mode for everyone. To toggle, open the navigation menu and pick the theme option, or use the bottom-nav drawer on mobile. Your preference is saved per-account when signed in and per-device when signed out. Logging out reverts the device back to the default light theme.

Question 42

Is HuniWhisp on Google Play?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Search "HuniWhisp" on Google Play (package name com.huni.app) or visit play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.huni.app. The app is a Capacitor wrapper around the same web experience at huniwhisp.com — every feature on the website works in the app, and any fix shipped to the website applies in the app immediately without a Play Store update. iOS is on the roadmap.

Question 43

What does the back button do in the Android app?

Accepted Answer

Two back buttons. (1) An in-header chevron appears to the left of the HuniWhisp logo on every page EXCEPT the home shell (/, /home, /explore, /about, /auth) — tap it to return to the previous screen, e.g. from a comment thread back to the post. If you opened the app via a deep link with no in-app history, it falls back to /home so you are never trapped. (2) The Android system back button at the bottom of your phone navigates back through your in-app history; once you are at the home shell, the first press shows "Press back again to exit" and a second press within 2 seconds closes the app. This way you cannot accidentally exit by tapping back once.

Question 44

Why is the home page (/) different from the feed (/home)?

Accepted Answer

The root URL huniwhisp.com is a marketing landing page introducing what HuniWhisp is, with a parallax hero and scroll-reveal sections — designed for first-time visitors and search-engine indexing. The actual feed of confessions, Q&As, diaries, etc. lives at huniwhisp.com/home. Signed-in users land directly on /home from the navbar; signed-out visitors see / first and can click through to the feed or sign up.

Question 45

Does the app rotate to landscape, and can I hide the system buttons?

Accepted Answer

The Android app honors your phone's auto-rotate setting and supports portrait, landscape, and reverse-landscape orientations. The Android system navigation bar (the row of back/home/recents at the very bottom of your screen) is hidden inside the app so the app's own bottom navigation has the full bottom edge — swipe up from the very bottom briefly reveals the system bar if you need it.

Question 46

Why is the Pro premium tier no longer listed?

Accepted Answer

The Pro tier has been temporarily disabled while the underlying premium-only features are finalized. Active tiers are Basic ($1.99/mo) and Plus ($3.99/mo). Pro will be re-enabled once its bundled features ship — existing Pro subscribers (if any from earlier rollout) keep their entitlement until the next renewal cycle.
