Private chat

What Kissend includes

Kissend is a private chat for the phone and the browser. People reach you by username, not by your phone number. The same account holds your chats, your vault, and the locks you set for a shared device.

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.
How it works

On this page

Chat with people you choose

Search a username and send a friend request. Direct messages between friends are free. You can reply, react, star a message, pin one at the top, edit your own text for 15 minutes, and delete it for yourself or for everyone.

A group has a name, a photo, and admins. Messages inside a group are free. You can mention someone, invite with a link that expires, and decide that only admins may add people or send.

Privacy on a shared phone

An app-lock PIN closes Kissend when the tab is hidden or after it sits idle. You choose that idle time. A safety PIN of 4 to 12 digits opens hidden chats and the vault. A decoy PIN opens an empty list and an empty vault instead.

Each chat can have its own PIN, a blurred preview, and a mute. Disappearing messages can be off, 24 hours, 7 days, 90 days, or a time you set. One photo or video can be view-once. Quiet hours hold push notifications until morning.

Vault, and meeting someone new

The vault is a private library with albums, stars, and trash. You can share a file or an album with an accepted friend, and that share ends if you unfriend or block them. Each account starts with free space. More space is a token pack.

Random chat is a separate switch. It stays off until you turn it on. On the website it is text only. Friend chats and group messages do not spend tokens. A worldwide search for anyone is free. A gender or place filter can cost tokens, and the price is shown before a match starts.

Help

Questions, answered.

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

Does Kissend ask for my phone number?

No. You register with a name, email, and password, or with Google. Your public identity is a username.

Is a friend chat free?

Yes. Friend chats and group messages are free. Tokens apply to optional random-chat filters, random messages, and some actions such as a new group.
