Introducing Temporary Chat Rooms on Voidchat
Some conversations don’t need to live forever. Maybe you’re sharing something quick, maybe you don’t want a record, or maybe you just like the idea of chats that disappear. That’s where Temporary Chat Rooms on Voidchat come in.
They’re designed for quick, disposable conversations that automatically disappear, giving you privacy, focus, and peace of mind.
What Are Temporary Chat Rooms
A temporary chat room is a special type of room on Voidchat where all messages are ephemeral, and expire automatically after 10 minutes.
This makes temporary rooms ideal for:
- Quick one-time chats
- Sharing pictures or files that don’t need to linger
- Disposable chats that don’t need baggage
How to Create a Temporary Room
It’s simple: any room name that starts with temp- becomes a temporary chat.
As soon as you enter the room, any messages sent will follow the 10-minute rule and disappear automatically.
Why 10 Minutes
Most temporary chat apps out there don’t store any history. That means if your Wi-Fi cuts out or you refresh the page, the whole conversation is gone, and more importantly, you can miss important messages.
Voidchat’s temporary rooms keep messages for 10 minutes. That gives you enough time to rejoin and catch up on what you missed, without building up a permanent history. It’s an ideal balance between privacy and usability.
A Temporary Solution (For Now)
The temp- naming rule is a simple way to introduce ephemeral conversations today. In the future, Voidchat will give room admins more flexibility and control:
- Set your own message retention policy (minutes, hours, days, months, forever).
- Configure whether history is saved, partially saved, or always cleared.
- Fine-tune privacy and moderation settings to match how your group wants to chat.
Try It Out
If you’ve ever wanted a chat that doesn’t linger, Voidchat now has it, so give it a shot.
