Whisper private chat
How to create and join timed QR private chat, and what to try when scan or create fails.
Whisper private chat
Timed QR / link rooms. End-to-end encrypted, deleted after expiry. Participants do not exchange Buzzio IDs as lasting contacts.
Whisper Questions is a different product (anonymous ask links).
How to use
- Open the Whisper tab.
- Create a session and pick a timer, or scan a QR / open a link.
- Allow camera if you scan.
- Chat until the timer ends or the creator closes the room.
Tips and limits
- Free: 1 active session; create timer 24 hours.
- Premium: 200 sessions; Whisper up to 7 days.
- After expiry, that room’s messages are gone.
- Swipe up in a lane for once-view messages (they disappear about 5 seconds after seen). Photos and videos can still use View Once.
Troubleshooting
- Cannot create another — close/expire one. Free: 1. Premium: 200.
- Scan fails — camera permission; QR must still be live.
- Expected history missing — Whisper is not a durable archive after expiry.
