Privacy & identity
Privacy settings checklist for a new account
Five minutes after signup can make private chat feel intentional instead of accidental.
Identity and who can reach you
Confirm your temporary name is one you are happy to show in Match. Review Skip, Block, and Report so you stay in control. You do not need a phone number to use Chatkode.
Your conversations are protected — these settings shape discovery and device privacy around that protection.
Device controls
Turn on app lock if anyone else can unlock your phone or laptop. Learn where hidden chats live before you need them. Skim disappearing messages so you know how to leave a lighter history when you want one.
Everyday habits
Sign out on borrowed computers. Keep notification previews off if lock-screen text worries you. Bookmark app.chatkode.com so you always open the real site.
FAQ
Quick answers
