Nomi Safety Settings

Nomi is an AI companion for ongoing conversations, roleplay and simulated relationships. It uses remembered context, images and voice features to make interactions feel personal. This Nomi safety settings guide helps parents recognise the adult service, understand the available controls and respond to underage use.

Age Rating and Child Safety Warning

Nomi requires users to be 18 or older. Its companion relationships, roleplay and generated content are intended for adults. A store rating or parental permission does not create an exception. No verified child account or linked parent dashboard was established in this review.

However, users provide a date of birth during setup. This does not prove that every user is an adult. Parents who discover underage use should support the young person to leave the service and review access on their devices.

Nomi Safety Settings: Restrictions Available

Review these Nomi safety settings in the account actually being used. Also, check each device because one choice may not apply everywhere.

Nomi: Understand the limits of Boundaries

Nomi’s Backstory+ includes Boundaries and Preferences. These describe how an adult would like conversations to work. They guide generated behaviour and are not an enforced parental filter. Do not rely on a written instruction such as avoiding sexual topics to make Nomi suitable for a child.

The current entry path to Backstory+ was not confirmed across app versions. Older official update posts refer to a menu beside the Nomi name and View Shared Notes. Ask official support for the current route instead of assuming that older wording still applies.

Turn off proactive messages

The current wiki places proactive frequency choices in Conversation Settings. The older route below applies only where your version still displays it. Turning off push notifications does not stop messages being generated while you are away.

• First, open a solo Nomi chat and tap ….
• Next, choose View Nomi information and find Proactive Nomi Messages.
• Then, set proactive messages to off. Repeat for each Nomi.
• Finally, newer wiki instructions place frequency choices in Conversation Settings. If your screen differs, use that section or ask support for your app version.

Why it matters: Quiet Hours are described as 10 PM to 8 AM local time. They do not block deliberate use. Notification preferences are separate for each device.

Nomi: Decline proactive selfies

In addition, a companion may offer a generated selfie.

• First, decline the in app selfie prompt when you do not want the image.
• Next, open that Nomi’s Image Settings and turn off Proactive Selfies if available.
• Then, ask support if the current entry path or control label differs.

Why it matters: This reduces unsolicited image offers. It is not a universal mature content filter, and images can still be requested deliberately.

Nomi Safety Settings and Why They Matter

Secure the sign in account

For example, Nomi uses Google or Apple sign in. Its wiki directs users to protect that provider account rather than describing a separate Nomi two factor switch.

• First, identify the Google or Apple account used to sign in.
• Next, open that provider’s official account security settings and activate its 2 Step Verification or Two Factor Authentication option.
• Then, review recovery details and devices through that provider. Do not share a recovery code or approve an unfamiliar sign in.

Why it matters: Protection depends on the linked account. It does not prevent someone using an already unlocked device or a session that remains signed in.

Nomi: Give feedback on a concerning message

Also, thumb feedback helps Nomi understand aggregate response quality. It is different from an urgent safety report.

• First, use the thumbs down control on the response.
• Next, select the ? feedback option to add context where offered.
• For harmful content, underage access or an unresolved issue, open the official Support page and explain the concern.

Why it matters: The wiki says thumb feedback does not directly teach an individual Nomi to remember that preference. Do not keep testing harmful responses while waiting for a change.

Privacy, Memory and Images

Nomi processes conversations on its servers to generate replies. Its encryption statement does not describe end to end encryption between only your devices. Use a pseudonym and avoid personal details in chats, customisation, photographs and voice recordings.

Editing a Mind Map entry does not necessarily remove the underlying memory. Likewise, changing a backstory is not equivalent to erasing prior chats. The official public material reviewed did not establish a complete selective memory or image deletion pathway. Use support for a specific removal request and ask what remains in chat history, backups and other records.

Nomi: Delete the account

Finally, account deletion is permanent. First deal with any subscription and preserve only information you need for a legitimate report.

• First, open your Profile.
• Next, select Account Settings.
• Then, at the bottom, choose Delete account.
• Finally, complete the email verification and follow the confirmation prompts.
• Next, when asked, type DELETE in English capitals without spaces or additional characters.

Why it matters: The privacy policy gives approximately 28 days after confirmation for personal data deletion. It also describes retention exceptions, including support archives and legal records. Do not assume that deleting one Nomi closes the whole account.

Cancel the subscription

Cancel through the original payment channel. Removing the app or closing a conversation does not establish that renewal has stopped.

• First, open Profile, then Subscription.
• Next, choose Manage Subscription, then Cancel Subscription and confirm.
• If the purchase belongs to Apple or Google Play, complete cancellation with that store account instead.
• For Apple, use Settings, your name, Subscriptions, Nomi and Cancel Subscription.
• For Google Play, open the Google Play Store, your profile, Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions. Choose Nomi, tap Cancel subscription and follow the prompts.

Why it matters: Retain the confirmation and check the expiry date. A cancellation normally stops future renewal. It is not an automatic refund or a data deletion request.

Nomi Safety Settings for Device Permissions

Device choices reduce access to sensors and alerts. They do not delete information already uploaded.

• On Android, open device Settings, Apps and Nomi. Select Permissions and deny unnecessary camera, microphone, photos and location access. Available categories depend on the device.
• Next, on iPhone or iPad, open Settings, Privacy & Security and the relevant permission category. Disable unwanted access for the installed app. Confirm it is the same product before applying these instructions.
• Finally, review device Notifications and browser site permissions separately. Turn off unwanted alerts and avoid previews on a shared screen.

Why it matters: An app permission does not control every browser or another device. Therefore, check each route and keep sensitive material out of uploads.

How to Use Nomi Safely

For parents who discover a child using this service, begin with a calm conversation about what they enjoy and what worries them. Then help them leave the adult service without dismissing their feelings. In addition, arrange support from a trusted adult and agree how to prevent renewed access.

• First, keep school names, home addresses, passwords, financial details and other people’s private information out of conversations.
• Next, avoid uploading intimate images, children’s photographs or recordings that reveal other people without permission.
• Then, check important advice with a qualified person. However, an affectionate or confident response can still be inaccurate.
• Finally, protect sleep, schoolwork and time with friends. For example, notice distress when access changes or the companion contradicts expectations.

Nomi Safety Settings: Limits and Current Concerns

Discuss consent, pressure and secrecy. For example, an AI character can imitate affection, agreement or jealousy without understanding a person’s welfare. Therefore, end an interaction that encourages harmful behaviour, sexual pressure or isolation. Never follow a request to send money, reveal a password or move into an unfamiliar service.

A companion cannot replace a trusted person, professional care or emergency help. In an emergency, contact local emergency services if there is immediate danger. When reporting, preserve only the information needed. However, do not circulate intimate or abusive material.

Nomi Support and Regional Differences

Therefore, use the official Nomi support page for account, content and privacy problems. Include the relevant time, app version and a concise description. Avoid posting private chat history in public community discussions.

No verified native parent linking, compulsory bedtime, child content filter or parent view of private conversations was established. Manage device access separately and check the website as well as the app. Feature availability can differ by subscription and app version. A purchase does not turn a boundary preference into a guaranteed restriction.

Nomi Safety Settings Checklist

• First, confirm the adult age requirement and prevent access from a child’s account.
• Next, review recurring charges and cancel unwanted renewals through the original seller.
• Then, reduce sensitive information, optional permissions and unwanted notifications.
• Finally, report harmful replies through the documented support route.
• Finally, check the app and website separately, including other devices and accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Boundaries a child safety filter?

No. They guide the companion’s responses. Nomi remains an adult service, and a response may disregard a preference.

Does editing a Mind Map erase the conversation?

No. Mind Maps and underlying memories are not interchangeable. Ask support about a specific data removal request or use the account deletion process.
