ikman Updates

Improved Chat Feature on ikman | Safer and Smarter Chat

At ikman, chatting is how most buying and selling starts.
It needs to be fast, simple, and safe.

To reduce spam, scams, and unwanted messages, we’ve upgraded ikman Chat. These updates focus on one thing: helping genuine buyers and sellers connect with more confidence.


What’s changed in ikman Chat

Phone number verification before chatting

Users now need to verify their phone number before starting a conversation.

What this does:

  • Reduces fake and duplicate accounts
  • Cuts down spam and scam attempts
  • Keeps conversations between real people

Only verified users can send messages.

Block and report, directly from chat

If a conversation feels suspicious, you can now block or report the user from the chat screen itself.

  • Reports are reviewed by our team
  • Action is taken quickly against spammers
  • Repeat offenders are removed from the platform

You don’t need to leave the chat or search for settings.

Smart monitoring to catch spam early

Behind the scenes, ikman uses automated checks to detect unusual behaviour, such as accounts sending too many messages in a short time.

These accounts are:

  • Flagged automatically
  • Reviewed before they can contact more users

This helps stop scams early, not after damage is done.

Limited QR code sharing

To reduce phishing and malicious links, ikman Chat now limits QR code sharing.

This lowers the risk of:

  • Redirect scams
  • Fake payment pages
  • External phishing attempts

Your conversations stay where they belong — inside ikman.

What this means for you

With these updates, you’ll notice:

  • Fewer spam messages
  • More verified users
  • Safer, more reliable conversations

Whether you’re responding to a car ad, negotiating rent, or selling a phone, chat on ikman now feels more trustworthy and controlled.

These improvements are already live for all users.
