Six ways Othiri keeps you in control.
Nobody messages you uninvited
A chat opens only after you both like each other. Until then, nobody can write to you.
Real photos, checked by a person
Every photo on a profile is approved by someone on our team before anyone can see it.
Block works both ways
Block someone and you vanish from each other’s app — straight away, with one tap.
Reports are read by a person
Tell us about anyone who makes you uncomfortable. A real person on our team looks at every report.
Incognito, if you want it
Be shown only to people you have already liked. It comes with Gold — which you get free.
Adults only
Othiri is strictly 18+, and the age check is enforced on our servers, not just in the app.
At your pace, from the first like.
- 01
Make your profile
Add your photos and a few lines about you. A person checks them before your profile goes live.
- 02
Like who you want
Take your time. Nobody can start a chat with you unless you like them back.
- 03
Talk when you are ready
After a match, either of you can say hello. Block or report anyone, any time.

Straight answers.
Is Othiri free for women? (Othiri സ്ത്രീകൾക്ക് സൗജന്യമാണോ?)
Yes. Downloading, matching and messaging are always free. On top of that, every woman joining Othiri gets three months of Othiri Gold automatically free, including incognito browsing and extra likes.
Can men message me without my permission? (അനുവാദമില്ലാതെ ആർക്കെങ്കിലും എനിക്ക് മെസ്സേജ് അയക്കാൻ കഴിയുമോ?)
No. A chat only opens after you both like each other. The only thing that can arrive before a match is a Note — a short paid line attached to someone's like, which appears in your Liked You list, not in your chats, and opens nothing unless you like them back.
How does Incognito Mode protect my privacy? (ഇൻകോഗ്നിറ്റോ മോഡ് എങ്ങനെയാണ് പ്രവർത്തിക്കുന്നത്?)
With Incognito Mode (included free with Gold for women), your profile is completely hidden from the general feed. Only people you have already liked will ever be able to see your profile.
What happens when I block someone? (ഒരാളെ ബ്ലോക്ക് ചെയ്താൽ എന്ത് സംഭവിക്കും?)
You disappear from each other's app straight away in both directions. They cannot see your profile, find you in search, or message you ever again.
Who checks profile photos? (ഫോട്ടോകൾ എങ്ങനെയാണ് പരിശോധിക്കുന്നത്?)
A member of our team reviews every profile photo individually before it can appear to other members, filtering out fake, inappropriate, or borrowed pictures.
Your person is on Othiri.
Free to download, free to match, free to message. A person checks every photo before a profile goes live — and if you’re a woman, three months of Othiri Gold are yours from the start, at no cost.
