Generally
How can I register?

Registration is really easy. It can be completed in four steps.
Instructions can be found here: Registration at JoForChat

Do I really not need a phone number?

No phone number is required to use JoForChat. A personal JoID is generated for you upon registration. You can use your JoID to connect with your contacts and chat privately. Additionally, each profile (private and public) has its own unique ID.

Why does JoForChat cost something?

We offer a free version with limited features. If you'd like more features, please subscribe. Operating JoForChat costs money, and we don't want to run ads on JoForChat. Advertising has become incredibly annoying. We want to take a different approach. Our subscriptions are very affordable. Here you can get an overview of the JoForChat subscriptions.

Private area
How do I create a new contact?

You can add new contacts via QR code. To do this, scan the contact's QR code yourself or have a contact scan theirs. You can find the QR code under Private -> + (Green) -> Add new contact or Show JoID. That's it! You're now connected in JoForChat and can send private messages. Of course, it's end-to-end encrypted. Better safe than sorry.

Are my chats encrypted?

Private chats are end-to-end encrypted. We, as the platform operators, cannot view or read the chats. Private remains private.

How do I create a group chat?

Creating a new group chat is very easy. Go to Private -> + (green) -> Create group chat. Simply enter the name of the group chat, and it's created. In the group chat settings, you can add members. You can only add members from your own contacts.

Public area
How do you write and publish a post?

Creating and publishing a post is very quick and easy. Go to Public -> + (green) -> Create post. Important: Include at least three tags. Then click Publish post and you're done.

Who can see my posts?

Your posts are public. Anyone can see and find your posts and your public profile. Your posts can also be found in search engines. We want to achieve a broad reach.

How can I report a post?

You can report a post at any time. Simply open the post and click "Report." Then select a reason and report it to us. We will review these reports and may block the post. A post will be blocked if it violates JoForChat's rules and guidelines.
