FairyTell: Anonymous Chat Bot

You want to talk to someone new, but you do not want to show a profile or photo. FairyTell handles it: the bot connects random partners in an anonymous chat and also accepts anonymous valentines through your personal link.

Two modes, one menu

After launch you land in a menu and pick a mode. The bot's only command is /start, which takes you back to the menu.

• Anonymous chat: the bot picks a random partner, and names and accounts are hidden in the dialog.
• Valentines: you get a personal link where friends can write to you anonymously.

According to the official website, the service is free with no limits, you can choose a gender (M or F), and there is a separate adult mode 🔞.

Getting anonymous confessions

The website lays out these steps:

1. Start the bot and tap "My page".
2. If you have no page yet, the bot offers to create one.
3. Take the link to your page and share it with friends.
4. When someone writes, the bot sends a notification and a link to answer the anonymous sender.

If you use your real name on the page, only people who opened your link to write to you can see it. Partners from the anonymous chat cannot see the page.

Beyond text

The website says you can send and receive video messages, photos, videos and music in a dialog, and rate the people you chat with. Ratings help filter out those who are unpleasant to talk to.

Anonymous is not the same as safe

Anonymous chats make it easy to run into rudeness, spam and scammers. Keep a few rules in mind.

• Do not give a surname, address, school or workplace.
• Do not send personal photos, especially intimate ones: they can be saved and spread.
• Do not open links from a partner or enter SMS codes.
• Do not transfer money, even after a touching story.
• End the conversation if you feel uncomfortable, and report offenders.

Who the adult mode is for

The bot allows adult conversations, so only people of legal age should use it. If you are under 18, this service is not for you. Parents should know that live chat with random people has little moderation by nature.

Ads and audience

The bot's profile lists a contact for advertising, so the service is supported by ads. The catalog shows about 48 thousand users, with a few thousand active in a month. That is a big enough base for a partner to turn up quickly.

Treat this chat as entertainment, not a way to find a serious relationship. Going further means meeting in person, and ordinary caution applies there: a public place and a trusted person who knows where you are.
