Platform Guide & Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about creating your link, sending anonymous messages, managing your board, troubleshooting URLs, and our zero-knowledge privacy guarantee.
How to Create Your Anonymous Message Link
Getting started takes less than a minute:
Open secretmsg.net in your browser (Chrome recommended on all devices).
Enter your display name so friends and followers know whose link it is.
Set a secure password — you will use this to log in and access your private board from any device at any time.
Click Create Your Anonymous Message Link — your unique secret message URL is generated instantly.
Share your link on Instagram Stories, WhatsApp Status, Facebook, X (Twitter), or anywhere you like. Once your link is live, people can send you anonymous messages at any time. Only you can see them on your private message board!
How to Send an Anonymous Message
Sending an anonymous message is even easier than creating one:
Open the secret message link shared by your friend on Instagram, WhatsApp, or Twitter.
Type your message in the text box (up to 80 words / 300 characters). You can insert emojis or choose vibes.
Tap Send — your message is delivered instantly and your identity is never revealed.
Creative Ways to Use Anonymous Messages
Here are popular ways people use SecretMsg every day:
Add your secret message link to your story sticker and let followers send you anonymous questions, hot takes, or compliments.
Share your anonymous message link on your WhatsApp status and discover what your contacts really think about you.
Collect honest, unfiltered feedback after meetups, community workshops, podcast episodes, or team hackathons.
Teachers, professors, and study leaders can let students ask candid questions without fear of peer social pressure.
Ask your personal and professional network for candid constructive opinions. Anonymity strips away social friction and encourages truthful, empowering answers.
Manage Your Secret Msg Board
Once your board is created, you have full control through your Profile page (secretmsg.net/profile). Here is what you can do:
secretmsg.net/yourname) so you can copy and share it anytime with 1 tap.
Troubleshooting: Why Your Secret Msg URL Might Not Work
If your anonymous message link won't open or looks broken, try these simple fixes:
In Chrome go to Settings → Site settings → Cookies and set to Allow. Essential cookies are required to authenticate your board and verify bot prevention.
We recommend Chrome on Android and iPhone for the best compatibility and smoothest local message storage.
A stale browser cache can sometimes break the page. Clear your browser cache and reload the link.
Copy the exact link from your secret message board (e.g. secretmsg.net/yourname) rather than typing it manually.
