Messaging on Keet ✉️
How can I send a message to a user?
In Keet, everything happens in rooms. To start messaging, you need to join or create one. We’ve introduced direct messages, making it even easier to start a conversation!
Contacting a peer
Here are the ways you can start a DM:
Find by username
Start typing a member’s username in the search box to open their profile and click 'DM Request':
From a user profile
Send a DM request directly from the profile panel of any member you find in a public room:
Share your profile link
Copy and send your profile link to someone.
Ask your contact to insert the link into the search box in their Keet app:
Share you profile with QR code
Generate you QR code in your 'Profile' / 'Profile QR Code' [🏁]:
Ask your contact to scan this QR code in their Keet app by clicking 'Scan QR code' [🏁] on a mobile device (or upload the QR image):
Invite message
Write an invite message to share more information about yourself with the person you’re contacting.
1️⃣ The person will only see your initial invite message.
All other messages become visible once they accept the DM invitation.
Managing DM requests
Depending on the option you choose, you or your contact will receive a DM request. These always appear at the top of your rooms list:
You can review each DM request and choose to 'Accept' or 'Ignore':
Once you accept ✅ the request, the conversation will appear in your rooms list.
If you ignore ❌, all future DM requests from that user will be blocked.
If you change your mind later, you can still send a request to them to start chatting.
1-to-1 room
While direct messages are private conversations, you can also create a room and invite multiple members. You can start with a 1-to-1 room and later add more users as your network grows.
📌 You can create a 1-to-1 room as a workaround if you experience any issues with DMs.
Can I reply to a particular message on Keet?
Yes, to reply to a specific message in Keet:
On Desktop, click the three dots '[...]' on the right top of the message / select Reply.
On Mobile, long-tap the message / tap Reply or swipe the message to the left.
Why does a message appear later but have an earlier timestamp?
In Keet, if someone sends you a message while you’re offline or having connection issues, it may not reach you right away.
Once they’re back online, the message will appear in your chat with the original time it was sent, not the time it was delivered.
