How to use ChatMeld

Start by downloading and opening the app, then choose the chat language, the radius, and the access mode. After that, talk in the right context with no extra steps.

1. Download and open

Download ChatMeld, open the app, and go to the first screen. That is where you get to chats and settings.

2. Choose a chat language

Pick the language you want to read and write in for this chat. After you choose it, you only see chats in that language, and it becomes the chat language for the room.

3. Set the radius

When you create a chat, set the radius from your location. It defines who can see the chat through geolocation.

4. Choose the access mode

Geo chats are visible to people nearby, but the exact creation point and creator identity are hidden. Wi-Fi chats are visible only to people on the same network. Hybrid chats are available to people who are either within the radius or connected to that same Wi-Fi network.

5. Chat gestures

Swipe right on a message to address its author. Your message stays visible to everyone in the chat and is highlighted for its recipient. It is not a private conversation. Swipe left on a message to open its author's public profile.

6. Turn on translation if you need it

If your plan includes translation, open the chat in the language of conversation and type in your own language. The other user receives it translated into their language, and you see replies translated back into yours.

7. Report a message

Press and hold another user’s message, choose a reason in the report sheet, and submit it. The moderation team reviews both the message and the report; misleading reports lower the sender’s reputation. Consistently confirmed reports can earn you moderator status automatically. After that, your reports may trigger automatic action against the reported user, and the team may review some of those decisions. If an unjustified ban is overturned, your reputation drops more than it rises for a confirmed report; if it falls below the required threshold, you lose the automatically earned status.
