Whisper Private Chat
Whisper private chat is a time-limited QR or link room for anonymous encrypted sessions. Joiners talk with the creator without exchanging Buzzio IDs as contact addresses.
Why Whisper
Sometimes you need a private lane for a meetup, event, or one-off conversation — without adding someone as a permanent contact. Whisper is built for that.
How a session works
- Create a session with a name, duration (1–168 hours, up to 7 days), and max members (1 / 5 / 10 / 25 / 50).
- Share the QR or link.
- Each joiner gets an anonymous slot and a private 1-to-1 lane with the creator — not one big group of all scanners.
- Optional Vanish and Secure View can be set as room rules at create.
- When the timer ends or you close the room, that session is wiped.
Messages are encrypted on device before relay.
Free vs Premium
- Free accounts typically have a create cooldown (about 7 days).
- Buzzio Premium can unlock unlimited Whisper creates.

Tips
- Tell joiners the room rules (Vanish / Secure View) before they enter.
- Do not reuse a closed room expecting history to remain.
- For anonymous Q&A to a web audience, use Whisper Questions instead.
