Yes. Visibility is a setting rather than a paid feature, so you can take your Catio profile out of Catio search at any point and put it back whenever you want to.

How do I stay safe meeting someone from Catio?

Meet in public in Catio, arrange your own transport, tell someone where in Catio you are going and video call first. Never send money to a Catio match or to anyone else you have met online.

What if there are not many members in Catio yet?

Widen your radius beyond Catio for a week and check back. DateMio is used across Guinea Bissau and the Catio pool grows as more members near Catio join, so an early quiet spell in Catio is not the final picture.
