Private chat

Private chat online, without a phone number

An online chat is private when strangers cannot find you from your phone number, and when a person holding the phone cannot read every thread. Kissend is built around those two problems.

In the app

A private chat, with the locks.

  • A username instead of your phone number.
  • App lock, a hidden list, and a decoy PIN.
  • A vault for files, away from the gallery.
  • Friend chats and groups are free.

Find people on purpose

Share your username with the person you want. They send a request. You accept. There is no contact upload that messages everyone you know.

The website can also introduce a text chat with someone new. That mode is separate, text only, and easy to leave. It is not the same as your friend list.

Keep the screen quiet

Use the app lock when you put the phone down. Use a hidden list for the thread that should not appear. Put photos you must keep into the vault, and let the chat copy disappear.

Read the security page for the controls that ship: the app lock, a hidden list, block and report, and the vault.

Help

Questions, answered.

A few quick answers before your first chat. The app has its own screens after you claim an account.

Can I start in the browser?

Yes. The website runs the guest text chat and the public guides. The signed-in app covers friends, groups, media, and the vault.

Do I need a new email?

You can use any email you control. A separate email is reasonable when you do not want private chat mixed with work mail. It is your choice, not a requirement.
