An anonymous chat app to talk freely and make friends

Not everyone opens an app to find a partner. Some people want a good conversation, a new friend, or someone to talk to without their name and face attached. Bower is made for that too.

Not a random chat

Bower doesn't pair you with a random stranger. In Discover you browse cards, each with a pseudonym, a generated avatar, a bio, the languages the person speaks and what they are looking for. You like the people you want to talk to, and a like on both sides opens a conversation.

Say that you are here to talk or to make friends

When you join, you choose one or more intentions: Just chat, New friends, Networking, Deeper connection or Open to anything, alongside Flirting, Dating and Casual dates. Discover favors people who chose the same as you, and you can change your choices whenever you like.

Something to talk about

Every day there is a question to answer. Your answer appears on your card, and other members can reply to it, which makes a first message easy. There is also a Social tab where members share thoughts: everyone can read, like and comment, and posting is reserved for verified profiles.

Why anonymous?

Without a name or a photo it is easier to say what you really think, and nobody judges you on your looks. You pick a pseudonym, Bower generates your avatar, and phone numbers and social media handles are refused in bios and posts.

Staying safe

Bower is for adults only (18+). You can report or block anyone from their profile or from a chat, and reports are reviewed by a person. Members can also verify themselves with a private selfie: others only see a badge. Verification is optional, so not every member has it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Bower only to make friends or to chat?

Yes. Choose Just chat or New friends when you join, and Discover favors people who chose the same. Nothing obliges you to look for a date.

Is Bower a random chat with strangers?

No. You are never paired at random: you see profiles with a pseudonym, a bio and intentions, and a conversation opens when both people like each other.

Do I have to show my face or give my real name?

No. Profiles have a pseudonym and a generated avatar instead of photos. The optional verification selfie is never shown to other members.

Is it free?

Yes. Creating a profile, browsing Discover, 20 likes a day and chatting with your matches are free. Bower Premium and direct message packs are optional.

Who can join?

Adults only (18+).

Which languages can I talk in?

The app is in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese. You list the languages you speak on your profile so that Discover can show you more people you can talk to. Members come from more than 100 countries; France is the largest group.

Is Bower available on iPhone?

Bower is available on Android through Google Play.

What happens when a conversation goes quiet?

A conversation with no message for 72 hours is archived. Once both people have written at least 10 messages each on two different days or more, the limit becomes 7 days.
