# How to chat anonymously?

ZK Social allows users to chat anonymously as a member of the following groups:\
\- Any users from ZK Social\
\- Any users from [Interep Twitter Groups](https://docs.interep.link/technical-reference/reputation/twitter)

### Chat as any users

1. Select *Chat anonymously* when creating a new chat. Each anonymous chat session are independent - exposing identity from one conversation will not leak your identity from other anon conversations

2\. You can chat as your normally would in the anon conversation. Note that the *sender* icon is turned into an incognito icon instead of your profile picture. An anon conversation is also slightly *darker* than other conversations.

### Chat as a member of Interep group

To chat as a member of interep groups, a user must first add an anonymous identity following [this guide](https://docs.zkitter.com/faqs/how-to-create-an-anonymous-user). Note that the *sender* icon should change to the icon of the corresponding interep groups.
