Private Chat Guide: How Stranger Talk Codes Work

Private Chat is designed for a direct two-person conversation using a temporary invitation code. This guide explains the current flow and the limits of the word “private.”

1. Create a private conversation

Open Private Chat and use the create option. Stranger Talk generates a temporary code for the waiting room.

2. Share the code carefully

Give the code only to the person you intend to invite. Treat it like an invitation credential while it is active. Do not publish it publicly if you do not want unknown people attempting to join.

3. The room is for two people

The current Private Chat flow limits the room to two members. Once the intended participant joins, the waiting invitation is no longer an open two-person slot.

4. Codes are temporary

The current join logic accepts a waiting private room only when it was created within the recent validity window. If a code no longer works, create a new private conversation rather than repeatedly sharing an old code.

5. Private does not mean encrypted

Private Chat restricts access to the room; it is not a claim of end-to-end encryption. Do not send passwords, OTPs, PINs, payment credentials or sensitive documents merely because the conversation has a private code.

6. If the other person becomes abusive

Use the available safety controls, including Leave, Block and Report. A private room does not remove the need for moderation or personal safety.

7. Need an unknown conversation instead?

If you do not already have someone to invite, use Random Chat to meet another available person.
