What is Addchat?

The Addchat app lets you chat and share images with random strangers. You can also sort profiles by gender or country. Users create a profile with a username, brief biography, their age and gender. Sign-up requires either a phone number, an Apple ID or a Google ID. It also advises that users must be 18+ years, but there is no age-verification process. The user's country is also displayed on their profile. You can post an image to your profile from the camera or the device image gallery. You are allowed to post a new image once every hour.

‘Keys’ are required to start a chat conversation. Users receive an allocation of keys every 24 hours. You can earn extra keys by checking other users’ images don’t violate posting guidelines. Unlimited keys are available via in-app purchasing.
