Sometimes you want to talk without being yourself for a moment: to say what is on your mind, practise a language, or just chat with someone who does not know your friends or your family. An anonymous chat is made for that.
On Chat5 you join with a nickname. No real name, no phone number, and in guest mode no email.
Anonymous does not mean unaccountable. To protect everybody and respond to reports, Chat5 keeps a connection log (including the IP address) for a limited time, and reports come with a copy of the recent messages. This is explained in detail in the privacy policy. It is what allows people who harass others to be banned and not simply come back.
Other users cannot see who you are. Chat5 itself keeps limited technical data for safety and moderation, as described in the privacy policy.
Not in guest mode. You only need one if you create an account.
Only if you tell them. That is why we advise against sharing personal details with strangers.
Yes, chatting is free.
