Third-party apps are applications built on the Xenophiliachat platform by external developers, and are not owned or operated by Xenophiliachat. When you connect a third-party app to your Xenophiliachat account, you are granting that app access to use your account. Depending on its permissions, an authorized app may be able to obtain information from and use your account in various ways, such as reading your Chats, seeing who you follow, updating your profile, posting Chats on your behalf, accessing your Direct Messages, or seeing your email address. You can learn more about the specific access in the App permissions section below. Addiontally you can choose to log out of your active Xenophiliachat sessions.
Note: You should be cautious before giving any third-party app access to your account. If you’re not comfortable with granting an app access to your account, simply click “cancel” on the authorization page to decline the app’s access. We also suggest you regularly review third-party apps which have access to use your account to confirm that you still want to give them access. You can review and revoke access for apps by visiting your profile account settings.
Logging out of active Xenophiliachat sessions
How to log out of your active Xenophiliachat sessions
- Sign in to your account.
- From your Settings and privacy, go to your account settings. Below Sessions, all of the active login sessions connected to your account will be displayed. You can see the location and time of login.
- If you’d like to log out of any of the sessions listed, click the Log out button next to the session, or click Log out all other sessions at the top of the list to end all other sessions at once. Please note that while logging out of a session will prevent further actions from that session such as Chating, Liking, and replying, it may not delete data (e.g., Direct Messages) that was previously cached on the device while the session was active.

We do not share your Xenophiliachat password with apps. Remember that when you authorize an app to access your Xenophiliachat account or take actions on your behalf, the app may use, store, and share your information in accordance with its own business practices. While app developers agree to abide by our rules and guidelines, we strongly recommend that you review an app’s terms and privacy policy before you authorize the app to access your account.
