Safety isn’t a feature.
It’s the foundation.
Choosing who you live with is a big decision. Roomie is built to make it a safe one — with private messaging, an 18+ community, and tools that keep you in control.
Safeguards built in, from your first match.
Optional ID verification
Members can verify their identity through our partner Didit to earn a verified badge — look for it when you’re choosing who to talk to.
Adults only
Roomie is strictly 18+. You enter your date of birth at signup — under-18s can’t create an account, and it’s locked afterwards.
Private by default
Chat inside the app. Your phone number and personal details stay yours until you choose to share them.
Report & block
One tap to report or block anyone, at any time — and every report is reviewed.
Active moderation
We review reported profiles and messages, and remove accounts that break our rules.
Encrypted in transit
Your data is encrypted on its way to and from the app.
Smart habits for meeting a roommate.
Roomie does a lot behind the scenes — but a few simple habits keep you safest.
-
Keep chats in Roomie
Get to know someone in the app before moving to texts or calls. If something feels off, you can report and block in a single tap.
-
Meet in public first
For a first meeting, pick a café or another public place. View any room or apartment in daylight, and bring a friend along if you can.
-
Take your time
There’s no rush. Ask questions, compare notes, and trust your instincts — the right match is worth the wait.
-
Never pay before you’ve met
Don’t send deposits or money to anyone you haven’t met in person and whose place you haven’t seen. Be wary of anyone pressuring you to pay quickly.
-
Tell someone your plans
Let a friend or family member know where you’re going and who you’re meeting.
