Installation & access
Open achat.aoneahsan.com in a current browser, or install the Android app from Google Play. Both are the same AChat, with the same chats.
Web
AChat runs in any current browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Nothing to install.
On a phone, AChat's pages are laid out like an app: the main action stays within reach of your thumb, and the page links sit under More links. On a computer, or in a narrowed browser window, you get the web layout.
Android
Get it on Google Play. Android asks you before AChat can use the camera (to scan a code), the microphone (voice notes and dictation), notifications, or location (only in a chat with device and location history on).
iPhone and iPad
There's no iOS app. Use AChat in Safari on the web.
Two ways to join
| Anonymous room | Account | |
|---|---|---|
| What you need | A room link and a display name | A Google account and a username |
| What you get | That room, under a display name you pick | Personal chats, contacts, groups, communities, status, kept rooms, plans |
| Phone number | Never asked | Never asked |
Your username is 3–24 letters, numbers, dots or underscores, and you can change it later. If you have an account, AChat doesn't link your anonymous room messages to it.
Can I try it first?
Yes. The demo walks through four short tasks with made-up people, and nothing you type there leaves the page.
Who can use AChat
You need to be 16 or older. An account found to belong to someone younger is closed.
