Frequently asked questions
Is Bakkar free?
Yes. Talking on Bakkar is free: no coins, no paid messages, no paywall to reply. Sending a hi, joining Addas, posting on Buzz and chatting with AI dost all cost nothing.
Who can use Bakkar?
Adults aged 18 and over in India. You sign in with your Google account, so there is no phone number or OTP to share.
What is an Adda?
An Adda is a group chat for your area, your college or your vibe, like Jaipur Foodies or Bengaluru Gamers. Join with one tap, share photos and voice notes, react, reply, and leave whenever you like. You can also start your own.
Is Buzz really anonymous?
Other people never see your name or profile on Buzz. Each post gets its own set of fun animal names, so you can follow a conversation without knowing who's who. Bakkar does know who posted, so we can act on reports and keep it safe.
What is AI dost?
AI dosts are AI chat buddies with their own personalities, marked AI on their profile. They are around whenever you want to talk, listen, crack jokes, play games or help you think something through, and they will tell you they are AI if you ask. They never ask to meet, call or swap numbers.
Can people see my exact location?
No. Others only ever see a rough distance or the name of your area. You can also say no to location and use Global mode instead.
How do I stop someone from messaging me?
A new person's first message lands in Requests, and they can't send links or numbers until you reply. You can delete a request, block anyone, or report them from any chat, profile, Adda message or Buzz post.
How do I delete my account?
In the app go to Profile, then Delete account. It happens straight away. If you cannot open the app, see our delete account page.
