A Whisper alternative

Missing Whisper? Meet EchoX.

Whisper is gone, but the idea behind it isn't. EchoX is a free anonymous app where you post what's really on your mind, see what people near you are saying, and talk to them, all without your real name.

Feels familiar

The things you liked about Whisper

Anonymous, for real

No real name, email or phone number. Pick a name and say what you actually think.

Words over a picture

Post your thought over a color or a photo, so every echo looks like its own little poster.

What people nearby are saying

The Local feed shows echoes from your area, with a rough distance and never your location.

Replies and private chat

Reply in the open, or message someone privately when a conversation deserves more.

The whole world too

Switch to Global or Popular to see what everyone is talking about right now.

Honest, sometimes heavy

Confessions, late-night thoughts, things you can’t say anywhere else. That’s what it’s for.

And a few things that are new

Built for how people use it now

Groups

Find a corner that fits, from music and gaming to late nights and 18+ spaces, or start your own.

Message requests

A stranger’s first message waits for you to accept it, and you see who they are before you reply.

Warnings on scammers

Accounts our moderators flag as scams or fake profiles carry a clear caution note in chats.

Rules you can read

Our Community Guidelines and even the moderators’ handbook are public, and every penalty can be appealed.

Chat that looks good

Bold, italic and underline in messages, GIFs, photos and emoji reactions.

iPhone, Android and web

Free in the App Store and Google Play, or use it straight from your browser.

FAQ

Questions from Whisper fans

Is Whisper still available?

No. The Whisper app is no longer around, which is why so many people are looking for something like it. EchoX is a new, independent app built around the same idea: say what you really think, anonymously.

Is EchoX made by the people behind Whisper?

No. EchoX is independent and is not affiliated with Whisper or its former owners. We built it because we missed the same thing you do.

Is EchoX really anonymous?

Yes. You don’t give us your name, email or phone number. People only see the EchoX name you choose, and Local echoes show a rough distance, never where you are.

Is EchoX free?

Yes. EchoX is free on iPhone, Android and the web, and it’s supported by ads. Nobody under 18 is shown ads.

Can I see posts from people near me, like on Whisper?

Yes. The Local feed shows echoes from people nearby, and Global shows the whole world. You can also post "Local only" so an echo only reaches your area.

Can I private message people?

Yes. A first message arrives as a request the other person accepts or declines, and you can see their age range and how long they’ve been on EchoX before you chat. Under-18s can only message other under-18s.

Can I bring my old Whisper posts or account?

No. Whisper’s posts and accounts aren’t available to anyone, but it takes less than a minute to start fresh on EchoX, with no sign-up form.

Say what you really think again

No sign-up form. Your first echo takes less than a minute.
