Chatnee FAQ

Find answers about how Chatnee works, our 3-day conversation window, hidden profile photos, communication-first approach, and why we focus on real, intentional conversations.

What is Chatnee?

Chatnee is a communication-first app designed to help people speak deeper, reflect more, and build real connection through intentional conversations instead of swiping or small talk.

Is Chatnee a dating app?

No. Chatnee is not built as a dating app or hookup platform. It is a space for meaningful conversations, self-awareness, and real connection, whether that leads to friendship, reflection, or something more over time.

How is Chatnee different from typical swipe-based apps?

Unlike swipe-based apps that focus on photos and instant decisions, Chatnee hides profile photos at the start and prioritises conversation, values, and emotional awareness. You spend time actually talking before appearance enters the picture.

How does the 3-day conversation window work?

When you are connected with someone, you have a three-day window to talk. After those three days, you can decide whether to keep chatting or move on. You can also leave feedback that helps improve future connections and your own communication habits.

Why are profile photos hidden at first?

Photos are hidden at the start so you can focus on how someone thinks, feels, and communicates. This reduces pressure and helps you form an opinion based on depth, not just appearance. Profile images unlock later in the experience.

Can I reveal profile photos earlier?

Yes. Chatnee includes an optional early photo reveal feature. This gives you flexibility, while still encouraging you to build a foundation through conversation first.

What are Chatnee conversation prompts?

Chatnee conversation prompts are guided questions designed to move you beyond small talk. They focus on values, life experiences, emotional intelligence, and self-reflection to help you connect on a deeper level.

Why does Chatnee take an anti-hookup culture stance?

Hookup culture often normalises shallow interactions, mixed signals, and emotional burnout. Chatnee was created as an alternative: a space that normalises depth, clarity, and emotional safety instead of casual, disposable interactions.

Who is Chatnee for?

Chatnee is for people who are tired of surface-level conversations and want to speak more honestly, ask better questions, and connect with intention. You do not have to see yourself as a “perfect communicator” to use it.

How does Chatnee help me communicate better?

Chatnee supports better communication through guided prompts, reflection-based questions, a three-day conversation structure, and feedback tools that help you understand your own patterns and how you show up in conversations.

Can I use Chatnee even if I find vulnerability difficult?

Yes. Chatnee is built specifically for people who find vulnerability uncomfortable. The questions are designed to ease you into honesty at your own pace, while still encouraging deeper, more transparent conversations.

What is Chatnee Diaries?
