Event kit
less annoying group chats.
Void is a disposable group chat. Event planners love us, and we hope you will, too.
get notifications
Void works in a browser tab, but it can't send notifications from there. Pick your phone:
- Open the chat in Safari and tap Share. On iOS 26 it's under ⋯.
- Tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.
- Open Void from the new icon.
- In the chat, tap Enable, then Allow.
Get the Android app (early access)
Recommended, not required.
- Join the tester group.
- Open the early access page and tap Become a tester.
- Install Void Chat from Google Play, sign in, and tap Allow for notifications.
If Play shows an error, wait a few minutes and try again.
Add Void to your home screen instead:
- In the chat, tap ⋮ in Chrome.
- Tap Install app. Some phones say Add to home screen, then Install.
- Open Void from the new icon.
- In the chat, tap Enable, then Allow.
Heads up
Web app notifications can be slow at first. If something's important, check the chat now and then.
Like a Zoom call: open the link or scan the QR code from your host, pick a name, and you're in. Only have a code? Go to app.avoid.chat and tap Join Existing Chat.
Direct messages, @mentions, replies to your messages and host announcements, not every group message. Tap a notification to jump straight to that message.
- Open Void from the home-screen icon, not a browser tab.
- Turn off Do Not Disturb or Focus.
Then check they're allowed on your phone and switched on in Void:
Settings → Notifications → Void.
Settings → Notifications → Void Chat.
The gear on Home → Notifications.
Profile → Notifications on a phone, or Settings → Notifications on a computer. You can also choose whether you get Direct messages and @mentions.
- When the timer ends, the chat is deleted for everyone. Your phone may keep a read-only copy for up to 48 hours.
- Tap someone's name to message, report or block them. Press and hold a message to report it.
- To leave, tap the chat's name at the top, then Leave Chat.
- Void isn't end-to-end encrypted. Our server can read messages.
host a chat
- Go to app.avoid.chat. On a phone, tap Create → Create Group Chat. On a computer, Create New Group Chat.
- Name the chat, pick your display name and how long it lasts.
- Tap the share icon at the top of the chat for the link, code and QR code.
Yes. In the share sheet, Save QR code downloads it on a computer, ready for fliers, slides or table cards. On a phone it's Copy QR code. You can also point guests to avoid.chat/kit.
Anytime, in Host Controls (the crown next to the message box): add or remove hours, then tap Update duration. End chatroom now closes the chat for everyone.
Tap the megaphone next to the message box. Everyone in the chat gets a notification, and they can't turn it off, so save it for things people mustn't miss.
Tap their name, then Kick from Chat.
