What is Wattpad?

Wattpad is a free social platform for sharing stories. The platform is accessible through the web, mobile site, and client applications (e.g. Wattpad for Android; Wattpad for iOS). Once registered, all users can read stories on Wattpad and write their own stories to share with the rest of the Community. Every user registered on Wattpad has a profile where they can share the stories they like, as well as photos and information about themselves. 

More information about the Wattpad platform is available at http://www.wattpad.com/about

Content Guidelines

There is a variety of content available on Wattpad. However, all stories on Wattpad must comply with the Content Guidelines to help ensure a safe environment. The Content Guidelines can be found here.

 

Mute Function

 

Wattpadders are empowered to use the mute and block functions to manage their communications with other users. These functions can be used to prevent communication between two Wattpadders. A muted Wattpadder cannot communicate with the person who muted them (through story comments or posts on their message board). For more information on the use and location of the mute function, check this guide. A blocked Wattpadder cannot communicate with the person who blocked them or read their stories. For more information on the use and location of the block function, check this guide. If another user is violating our Code of Conduct, you should report them here.
