Documenting doesn’t commit you to anything. But if you decide to report or file a complaint later, the evidence will be there.
What to document
- Screenshots of messages, comments or posts, with the date and time.
- The account name and its link (not just the display name).
- Links to the posts or videos.
- Call or SMS logs.
- A short summary: what happened, when and where.
How to keep it safe
- Store it where the person harming you can’t reach it (not on a shared phone).
- Keep a second copy somewhere else that is safe.
- Don’t edit the original files.
If documenting is emotionally hard, you can ask someone you trust to help you.
