Frequently Asked Questions

What is BeenHere?

BeenHere is a friendly chat app for people in waiting rooms. Connect with others nearby, pass the time with entertainment, and make the wait a little less boring.

Do I need an account?

No account needed! Just pick a nickname and start chatting. Your nickname is saved in your browser for convenience.

How do I find a room?

You can allow location access to find nearby rooms automatically, search by name, or browse all active rooms.

How do I report a message?

Every message has a small flag button. Tap it, give a brief reason, and our moderators will review it.

Is my location stored?

No. Your precise location is never saved. We only round it to 2 decimal places (~1 km) to find nearby rooms, and we do not store it.

How do I contact support?

Please read our community guidelines first. For urgent issues, contact the room moderator.
