Staying Safe Under Trump: A Sex Worker's Guide to OnlyFans Digital Security in 2025

A security memo from Whisper.fans — Your Partner in OnlyFans AI Chat :)

Hey beautiful people! With Republican leadership actively targeting sex work and adult content online, creators on platforms like OnlyFans need to be extra vigilant about protecting themselves and their communities. We never know when and where state laws will be changed to target adult content creators, but it’s always a good idea to have your data kept private no matter where you live. This guide will help you secure your communications and keep your OnlyFans business private. Let's start with the most important things you need to know.

Signal Is Your Best Friend (When Set Up Correctly!)

Signal is the most secure messaging app available right now. It's free, open-source, and actually designed to protect your privacy. But here's the crucial part many people miss: you need to configure Signal correctly to make it truly secure for OnlyFans chat and other private conversations. To help you set it up correctly, just follow a few easy steps:

Essential Signal Setup Steps

  1. Download Signal from your app store
  2. After installation, go to Settings (tap your profile/name in the top left)
  3. Go to Notifications
  4. Tap "Notification content"
  5. Select "No name or content"

This last step is super important! Why? Because while Signal encrypts your messages, notifications can still show up on your lock screen. By hiding the content and sender name, you keep your OnlyFans chat safe from prying eyes or someone picking up your phone.

Once you’ve downloaded Signal and set it up using these steps, you should be ready to start sending messages with the comfort of knowing your privacy is guaranteed.

More Tips On Using Signal

You can link your desktop or an iPad to your Signal account with a couple of easy steps. 

  1. Install and open the app on the device you want to use
  2. Open Signal on your phone and tap the profile icon in the upper-left corner
  3. Tap Link New Device and use your phone to scan the QR code on your other device
  4. Follow the rest of the prompts to finish setup

You can also chat with groups on Signal in case you want to speak to multiple fans at once.

  1. Tap the pencil icon on the home screen
  2. Select New Group
  3. Add members by phone number or select members from your contacts
  4. Click Next, then enter in a group name
  5. Tap Create
  6. If you want to invite more members, you can share the group link by tapping the group icon at the top of the screen and selecting Group Link

Why Other Apps Aren't Safe Enough

Telegram

Many creators use Telegram, but here's the truth: it's not as secure as you might think. Telegram can actually read your messages and hand them over to authorities if required. This has happened many times, and often the company will disclose personal data to government agencies without actually determining whether the order is sufficient enough to warrant it. With the recent arrest of founder and CEO Pavel Durov on the charges of “complicity in the administration of an online platform to allow an illicit transaction, in an organized gang,” Telegram is likely to be even more forthcoming with its users’ personal data.

Another security issue is that the "secret chats" feature is not enabled by default, and group chats are never encrypted. With so many holes in the security framework, Telegram is not the best choice for OnlyFans chats or other private messages.

WhatsApp

WhatsApp claims to be secure and uses the same encryption as Signal (called the Signal Protocol). However, since WhatsApp is owned by Meta and isn't open-source, we can't verify if there are any backdoors or security issues. It's like having a safe but not knowing if someone else has a copy of the key. Whatsapp has also been subject to ongoing threats from phishing attacks, with popular scams including broken link scams that target users on the app. For OnlyFans creators managing private interactions, it’s safer to use an app like Signal.

Additional Security Tips for OnlyFans Chat

  • Use a separate phone number for Signal if possible. Signal does not provide this service for you, but you can do this with a separate SIM card or with an app like Vyke or Onoff.
  • Regularly delete old conversations. You can delete them individually, or if you want to clear your entire chat history you can do this by going to Settings > Privacy > Clear History > Delete Everything.
  • Enable disappearing messages for sensitive chats. On iOS devices, tap the contact or group name and then select Disappearing Messages in the chat settings. You can set a time limit of however long you prefer. If you’re using a desktop, you can do this by going into a chat, selecting More, and then clicking on Disappearing Messages.
  • Don’t give out personal information. This is probably second nature to you if you’ve been in the business for a while, but it’s especially important with online communication. If you use a pseudonym for your OnlyFans account, do not share real details about where you live, your name, or anything else that can be used to identify you.
  • Maintain your boundaries with fans. This is in line with not giving out personal information. Many fans want to know everything there is to know about you, which is great! But that doesn’t mean you have to do or say anything you don’t want to. Don’t hesitate to speak up when customers cross the line and, if necessary, utilize the OnlyFans block and report feature for particularly unruly fans.

Remember: your security matters. Taking these steps might seem like extra work, but they're essential for protecting yourself and your work in challenging times. There may not be many resources for sex workers and OnlyFans adult content creators on how to protect themselves online, but we hope these tips will help you build your business as quickly and safely as possible. 

And don’t worry–our OnlyFans AI chat service works great on Signal, keeping your conversations private even when you move offsite. ;)

Stay safe out there! 💜
