  • Completely block unselected genders from private messaging me. Anyone outside the genders you picked can still talk in the open room, but they can't open a private chat with you at all.
  • Moderate contact from unselected genders. Private messages from genders you didn't pick go to a separate request list instead of popping up. You can accept or ignore them in your own time.
  • Block unselected genders who are guests (no account). Only applies to guests outside your chosen genders. Registered members can still reach you; throwaway guest names can't.

Stay in Control of Your Private Messages

The open room is where most conversations start, but private messages are where a free chat room can get noisy. This step decides who can open a private chat with you. Pick as many groups as you like, or tap Everyone. People outside your choices can still talk to you in the main room, but their private messages are blocked or held for you to review.

Regulars in online chat rooms tend to give the same advice: a narrow filter makes a better first visit, and you can widen it later. Saying hello in the open online chat before sending private messages also gets far more replies than messaging someone cold.

Not sure which room to try first? Anonymous chat is a good start if privacy matters most to you, and your filter applies there too.

Free Chat Room Message Filters: FAQ

Can people I didn't pick still message me?

Only if you allow it. Blocking stops their private messages; moderating puts them in a request list you can check.

Can I pick more than one group?

Yes. Select as many as you like, or tap Everyone to leave private messages open.

What if someone bothers me anyway?

Tap their chat name and block them. Report them as well for harassment, spam or requests for money.

Can I change this later?

Yes. You can go back and change it before you enter the chat.
