Very poor app. It is hanging about 80% of the time. A waste of time to try and chat in this app. I deleted it
I enjoy using this site BUT... (1) It sets my location as India even though I'm actually in the UK, and there's no way to change it. (2) Trying to notify Chatiw of this has been fruitless -- they can't even be bothered to acknowledge my email. As customer service goes, it's disgusting.
The site constantly crashes, lags and freezes up, I get multiple messages from supposed females sending me links to porn sites and "dating sites", I believe this site is operated outside the USA so those rules do not apply to the admin of this site on child porn, underage, and explicit photos...
I am confused how this site is allowed to continue illegal to show
Sex with animals, so shocking i was sick!
This site is full of pedophiles, I'm generally scared for the well being of children, why are these people not being banned? It's so easy to seek them out. Literally within minutes of logging in 100s of messages from pedos! I report them to the site, get no replies what so ever! So the best I can do is get these peoples hopes up then abuse them and tell them to get help! And now I can't even do that! I had a man messsging me and subliminally implying he wants to rape and hit little girls and just as I was about to get him to admit he wants to do that to underage girls IM THE ONE WHO GETS BANNED WHILE PEOPLE WITH PEDO IN THEIR NAME ARE ALLOWED ON THE SITE! It aggravates me soo much that people are getting away with this crap! THIS WEBSITE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN BECAUSE THEY DONT MONITOR IT PROPERLY! ID HATE TO IMAGINE HOW MANY OF THESE SICKOS WHO SAY ITS "fantasy" actuslly prey on children!
Site full of fake profiles and Bots, also men pretending to be women. Men must outnumber the genuine women 30 to 1. Complete waste of time, loads of sicko names inferring pdo and rape and incest. It really is terrible. Also full of sad married men. It constantly logs you out and bombards you with scam bot messages. Avoid.
Chatiw is really a site for pedos and the police and other people who hunt them. Almost no women. I used to hunt myself, but became disillusioned at the dubious methods used to entice men into revealing an interest in children that they perhaps would not have taken had they not been tempted. On ocassions illegal material is sent to these men to prove that they had such content, or to try and find out if they would share something similar. The result: a bonus and praise, but a lot of ruined families and lives. Stay away, even if you have nothing to hide, and especially if you have nothing to hide.
Chatiw is a fcking cesspool of pedophiles and incels & simps, 99% of the users there. Oh, and don't forget the white supremacists. This site is toxic for women and minors who shouldn't even be on there.
But don't worry, we're coming for you. And we'll make sure this site and other chat rooms on the dark web will get taken down. And these sexual predators get their time in prison.
If you have been a victim of chatiw and its users or any chat rooms/forums online, please contact local law enforcement. Minors may contact this national resource, too:

They keep banning me for 48 hours but I did nothing wrong. Their server is often down. Avoid the beta version: b it is awful.
Bad full of fake and spam and criminals this site must close to police adminstrator are fake and spammer
The admins are themselves users, and guys pretend to be girls so that people come to their site, and if you send hi to other user, admin gives spamming warning, developers are just bunch of failed engineering kids, and managing guys are always high, there are no reapl people there, don't waste your time.
E-chat was closed by the authorities 6 weeks ago, it should have been Chatiw Uk US... it will be next! Crawling with underage and pedos and sex spammers. Its owned by an Algerian called Nassim Mehbali, an Algerian, he says he is in Algeria and tries hared to hide. He is actually in the UK. This is a revenue raising site, is it registered with Companies House... NO, Does it pay tax... NO. The quicker this cesspit is taked offline the better... Must be serious taxation owed to the Revenue by now!
E chat is much more better. Nobody replies back
If u r lucky then u might get a reply
And thats very rare
This chat site is full of old men preying on young girls for sex. It has no moderator and it's a sick site with a bunch of old dirty people. It needs to be shut down.
This site is a nothing more than a bunch of pedophiles that allow them to share thier sick fantasies with eachother. As of 2020 it seems like all monitoring of this site is abandoned, there are no admins or moderators to ban these people, and what makes it worse is that there are underage people going on this site, often using the name "UA" which means underage. You can often run into
Pedophiles that don't even hide the fact that they are perverts, often using names like "prv" or "ped" if admins were in place, these would be obvious indicators that these people are in engaging in illegal activity. I posed as a underage girl, just to see how long it takes for people to message me and it takes less than 30 seconds and all the messages I received were sexual in nature, some were saying "your underage that's so hot" and often they would send of picture of their gentiles. This site is nothing but a illegal pedophile ring where the images of children are traded. Something has to be done about this site, I tried to contact the creators of this site and I got no reply, so it looks like pedophiles will continue to go here unless this site gets permanently taken offline, sites like Chatstep recognized this issue and the creators deleted thier site permanently after finding out child porn was being exchanged. Looks like all the pedophiles from chatstep just moved on to this site. Shame
I contacted about 8 to 12 people in the first day of being on the site. Everyone of them tried scamming money in some sort of way. Thats all the site is used for. Also to many ads sent to get you to go to another site. Blocked so many scammers
If your after a quick jolly and are attached/unattached this is definitely a great site.
If you want a clean conversation and have a moral compass then I'd avoid like the plague.
For people wanting to make friends have an intelligent meaningful connection you'll find it demoralising.
In my opinion chatwi is pretty vile and if your not like minded get abused for not wanting to "play".
I'v done nothing wrong on the site. I've been polite and not abusive or rude. But it's banned me for the third time this week for 48 hours. I think it's something to do with sending messages too quickly as a caution against scammers. But that's a bit rich as the site hosts scammers posing as women. I had 27 messages from them in 15 minutes one evening. Also, click on 'chat history' and it will lock out for over a minute. Many people can't load images as it asks for points. More fool them if they pay. Also, beware of the awful, clunky beta version.
Dear Sr/Madam
I made an statement last week 05/01/20 that someone has used my numberregistered under the name called of a girl. Therefore, I'm receiving non-stop phone call and text messages from whatsApp. Could you please do the necessary to stop this. I've also reported to the cyber crime police and they'll get in touch with you soon. Please also provide me a number to speak to you.
Thanks
I talk to someone, get started talking, then I get blocked blocked. It happened many times. On the other hand I get message after message trying to get me to another site, nothing happens. They are inefficient
