Online Chat Rooms: Find Your Next Natter Buddy

Join free

Natter's chat rooms are live group chats for adults, moderated by admins. Join, open a room that's available to you, say hello, and when a chat clicks, carry it on in private messages.

How do Natter's chat rooms work?

Each room is a live group chat. You type, everyone in the room sees it, and anyone can answer, so a natter about last night's telly can easily wander off towards holiday plans.

Admins moderate the rooms and step in when someone ignores the house rules. Or, as Natter puts it: it may be random, but we don't do toxic.

There's one set of rooms that everyone shares, and which of them you can open depends on your plan. The line-up changes from time to time, so the rooms open to you are the ones you'll see when you log in.

What each plan opens in the chat
In the chat	Free	VIP and VIP+
Chat rooms	A limited set	Additional rooms
VIP and Verified rooms	Not included	Included
Private messages	Limited	Unlimited, with read receipts
Create a private group chat for up to 50 people	Not included	Included

Prices are on the pricing page, and the features page covers the rest of what each plan includes.

Your first evening in the rooms

Put the kettle on. Here's one easy way to spend your first evening on Natter.

Finish your profile. A clear photo and a line about what you enjoy give people something to say hello to.
Open the chat rooms. Pick a busy room if you fancy a lively natter, or a quieter one if you'd like to ease in.
Read along for a bit. Get a feel for the mood and the subject of the moment before you type.
Say hello. Greet the room, or reply to something someone has just said. Answering a comment is an easy way into a conversation.
Take it private. When you hit it off with someone, carry on in private messages, just the two of you.

Not sure what to type? Here's the kind of opener you might try, and a reply it could get:

Evening all, first time in here. What's everyone up to tonight?
Welcome in. We're arguing about which biscuit goes with a cuppa.
Easy. Chocolate digestive, and I'll hear no other answer.

Rooms quiet tonight? Promote Me can send intro messages on your behalf, and our conversation starters have plenty more openers.

How to be good company in a chat room

Say hello before you jump in: A quick greeting to the room makes it easier for people to answer you.
Flirt by all means, but keep it clean: Cheeky is fine. Explicit, cruel or hateful isn't, and the admins will step in.
Take no for an answer: If someone says no, or simply stops replying, wish them well and move on.
Ask before you share: Check before sending anyone a photo, and keep your surname, address and workplace to yourself.
Chat, don't sell: Natter is for genuine members, so selling things or touting for business isn't allowed.

Our how to chat guides go further, and if a conversation runs dry, the question lists will get it going again.

Why chat where everyone has signed up?

Anonymous chat sites let anyone wander in without a name. That's quick, but nobody has to answer for what they say. On Natter, everyone in a room has a profile, and that changes the mood.

You can see who's talking
A username and a profile sit behind every message, so you can get a sense of someone before you reply.
Adults only
Natter is strictly 18+, with automatic age estimation and further checks where the law requires them.
Block anyone, instantly
Once you block someone, they can't contact you or see you. Report them as well and the team can act on it.
Chats that can go somewhere
A good conversation doesn't vanish when you close the tab. Pick it up tomorrow in private messages, or suggest a date when you're both ready.

Questions people ask about the chat rooms

Do I need an account to use the chat rooms?

Yes. The rooms are for members, so you join before you chat.

Who keeps the rooms friendly?

Natter's admins moderate the rooms and step in when someone breaks the community rules. You can also block anyone yourself, instantly, and report them from inside the site.

Is there a room for my age, my area or my interests?

Don't count on one. Everyone shares the same set of rooms, the line-up changes from time to time, and you'll see the ones open to you when you log in. To find people near you or who share your interests, use search and your daily match suggestions.

Can I carry on a chat in private?

Yes. Free members can send a limited number of private messages, and VIP and VIP+ lift the limit.

Can I use the chat rooms on my phone?

Yes. Natter runs in the browser, so your phone, tablet or laptop will do, and it can sit on your home screen as a web app.
