01What you can do
Join or host a community room
Rooms carry a topic, a language, a region and a content level. You can block or mute anyone at any time, and it takes effect immediately. What a host cannot do from this app: hand out seats, mute or eject anyone — there are no host-side controls in this version.
Take a seat and speak
Taking a seat starts sending your voice to the room — the microphone permission is asked at that step, not when you walk in, and leaving the seat stops it. Which seats are filled is decided by the server, not the app. You can mute your own microphone, leave the stage, or request another available seat. Some rooms require a four-digit password before you can enter.
Be found by interest
Pick interests, languages and regions once. Discover mixes rooms and people against them, and you can tell it to show fewer of something.
Say thank you
Gifts use your available coin balance. New top-ups are currently unavailable. Sending a gift spends coins; coins cannot be withdrawn as cash.
Chat on your own terms
Send one-to-one text messages and images, and manage conversations from your message list.
Who may message you and who may invite you are separate settings: everyone, people you follow, mutual follows, or nobody. Your online status and your room activity have their own two settings. Blocking is immediate and one-sided.
Keep a spending limit
Per-purchase and per-cycle caps live in the wallet. Lowering a cap applies at once; raising one asks twice and waits out a cool-down.
02Signing in
One way in: an email address with a password. There is no phone number, no one-time code and no social sign-in. The sign-in screen asks for a date of birth and two consents first.
Your credential travels with you, so a new phone is fine — sign in with the same email address and password and everything is there. One thing we would rather state here than let you find out the hard way: there is no password reset and no recovery code. A forgotten password or a mistyped address opens a new empty account rather than yours, and the only way back is to email us. The app says this on the sign-in screen and under Account & security.
The age answer is checked before the account is created, so an adult has confirmed their age at the moment the account comes into existence — not on a later screen.
Age requirement
You must be 18 or over to create an account. The sign-in screen asks for a date of birth, and an under-18 answer is refused before any account is created. Being exact about the limit of that: the refusal is not remembered. Nothing stops a different date being typed into the same field, so this is a declared-age gate rather than an identity check, and we would rather name it than let it sound stronger than it is. Accounts later found to belong to a minor are removed.
Mistyped the year and the account already exists? The date you gave is what the creator gate checks later, so it is worth correcting: write to sorenperalta262@icloud.com and a person will look at it.
03How moderation actually runs
- Display names, bios, direct messages and room text are screened against keyword and pattern rules before they are sent. High-risk matches are blocked or flagged. This covers text only.
- Live video, room audio and images are handled on report, not screened up front. The filter above reads text only, so the video stream or cover photo on a creator room is not checked before it reaches you. Reporting, blocking and muting are the backstop — all three take effect immediately, and every room carries a standing reminder of all three. There are no host moderation tools in this version, so a host cannot mute or eject anyone either.
- A report is delivered with its evidence, and a copy is kept on your phone with a receipt number you can quote. There is no dispatch queue that pings us and the app cannot read a status back, so your report list stays at "submitted" rather than moving through stages. To put a person on a specific case, email us the receipt number — the app says the same thing at the point where you file.
- Blocking and muting take effect immediately, without waiting for us. If someone is harassing you, that is the first thing to reach for.
- Enforcement follows a published ladder: limited delivery, removal, mute, creator restriction, then termination.
- Content levels — general, teen and 18+ — gate what you see. You can only filter more strictly than your region requires, never less.
The detail, including what is never allowed anywhere on Wesala, is on the safety page and in the Community Guidelines.
04Becoming a creator
Hosting a room is gated, but let us be exact about what the gate is: there is no human pre-approval. Two steps, and then access is enabled immediately.
- 1 · Eligibility
- 18 or over by the date of birth you gave at sign-up, and no active restriction on the account.
- 2 · Creator guidelines
- Five rules to read and confirm one by one: room governance, no-go areas, risk to minors, gift rules and how to handle an emergency mid-session.
The create-room form asks for a title, a topic, tags, house rules and a content level. Only the title, the topic and your language actually reach the server today — tags, house rules, the gift switch and the content level shape your own view of the room for that session and nothing more. So a house rule you type is not shown to everyone who walks in, and we would rather say that here than let you find out from someone ignoring it.
We do not screen applicants beforehand, and we say so in the app rather than staging a review queue that does not exist. What you publish once you are hosting is subject to reports and enforcement like anyone else's, and access is withdrawn for violations.
Leaving, and taking your data
Deletion is self-serve, under Profile → Account & security → Delete account. The screen lists exactly what goes — profile, relationships, content, chats, balance and entitlements — before you confirm, and you can request an export of your data inside the same flow.
Deletion runs immediately — there is no cancellation window, so the screen makes you type a confirmation word first. What it actually does: every record on the device is wiped one by one and the device is unbound from the account.
What it does not do is erase the account on our server. There is no account-deletion endpoint available to us today, so the profile and balance rows stay, and our server still finds the account by your email address — signing in again with the same address and password does open it. The deletion screen says this before you confirm rather than after. If you want those rows gone, email us and we remove them by hand. Also on that screen: messages other people sent you belong to them and stay with them, and payment and risk-control logs are retained where law requires it. See section 2 of the Privacy Policy.
05Need a person?
Reporting, blocking and deleting all work inside the app without waiting for us. Two things do need a person, and the app routes both to email rather than pretending otherwise: a copy of your data (the link is on the deletion screen) and an appeal — the form is in the app, but there is no appeal channel behind it yet, so the appeal you file is recorded on your phone and email is what actually reaches us. For that, and for a purchase that did not arrive or a safety concern that cannot go through the app, start on the support page.
