Your privacy, built in

No account, no recordings. Here’s exactly what happens to what you share.

No website can fully block screenshots — so we add deterrents and tell the sender when one is detected.

  • Anonymous, never recordedNo sign-up, no email, no profile. Video and voice are encrypted between you two and never saved.
  • Report in one tapReport or skip anyone instantly. Moderators get one small still image as evidence — nothing else is kept.
  • Photos open onceIn text chat a photo can be viewed one time, for up to 10 seconds, only while it’s held down.
  • Camera or gallery? You’ll knowEvery photo shows whether it was taken live with the camera or picked from the gallery.
  • Location data removedHidden data such as GPS position is stripped from every photo before it’s sent. Photos aren’t stored on our servers.
  • Screenshot deterrentsPhotos close if you leave the page, carry a watermark, and the sender is alerted when a screenshot is detected.

Frequently asked questions

Is hiwap3 free?

Yes, completely free — no account needed.

Do I need to sign up?

No. hiwap3 is anonymous — just open it and press start.

Is it safe?

Chats are anonymous and peer-to-peer and aren’t recorded — the one exception is a single small image (a video frame or the reported photo) sent to moderators if someone reports a chat. You can report or skip anyone. For adults (18+).

Does it work on mobile?

Yes — any modern phone or tablet. You can even install it as an app.

Can someone save the photos I send?

Photos open once, for up to 10 seconds, with a watermark, and close if the viewer leaves the page. If a screenshot is detected, you’re told. Honestly, no website can make screenshots impossible — someone could still photograph their screen — so only share what you’d be comfortable with.
