HOT 16 ARENA Support

Operated by AppLickEnt. Contact hot6teen@hotmail.com for account issues, recording problems, copyright concerns, appeals, or privacy requests.

Recording help

Use Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android. Allow microphone access when prompted, keep the recording screen open, and use headphones for the clearest mix. The four-beat countdown finishes before the recorded verse starts. If microphone access was denied, enable it for this site in browser settings.

Safety and moderation

Signed-in listeners can report an entry or block an artist. Manage personal blocks under Account. Blocks hide content in your own view; only the host can remove entries or suspend participation for everyone. New submissions require host approval before public playback. To raise an urgent concern, include the entry title and relevant details in your email; avoid including sensitive information unnecessarily.

Account and privacy

Use Account deletion to delete HOT 16 ARENA account-associated data or request deletion without the app. This does not delete your external email account. Read the Privacy Policy for data use and retained security records.
