Frequently asked questions
What is RawReact?
An app for anonymous reactions. You pick a person by their email, phone number, or social media profile and send them one of the predefined reactions, such as Compliment, Crush, or I miss you. The recipient sees the reaction but not who sent it.
Can I write my own message?
No. Reactions come from a list of categories – RawReact has no chat and no free-text field. Pro and Elite users can add their own reactions (an emoji and a short name) to their profile, but each one is reviewed before it goes live.
Can the recipient find out who sent a reaction?
No. The sender's identity is never shown to the recipient anywhere in the app and is protected cryptographically. The details, including a short window used to prevent spam and the exception for reports of a suspected minor, are described in the Privacy policy.
Why do I need to take a selfie?
RawReact is for adults only (18+). You confirm your age with a photo assessed by an external provider, Didit. RawReact stores neither the photo nor the estimated age – only the verification result. If the photo isn't enough, you can confirm your age with an ID document – only Didit checks it, and we just receive the information that you're 18+.
Can someone add my phone number or email to their account?
No. You can only add contact details to your profile after confirming they're yours. A reaction can, however, be sent to the number, email, or profile of someone without an account – we then store only a one-way encrypted identifier, and the reaction reaches that person once they sign up and confirm it as their own. RawReact never sends any messages to such people.
Can I control what I get and when?
Yes. You choose which categories you want notifications for, set quiet hours, and decide whether your reaction counter is visible on your profile. For 2 hours after a reaction arrives you can block its sender (you won't learn who it is, and they won't learn about the block), and you can report any reaction as abuse. Intimate categories are available only after giving separate consent.
