Coming soon to Android and iOS
A South African chat app for every person. Sign in with your cellphone number, choose a handle, and message the people you know - with business showcases, menus and in-app buying on the way.
Mail info@howzitchat.co.za and we aim to reply within two working days. For account problems, mention the cellphone number you signed in with.
Enter your South African cellphone number and we SMS you a once-off PIN. That's the whole sign-in - there is no password.
Wait a minute and check your signal, then request a new code. Check that the number is correct and can receive SMSs. If it still doesn't arrive, mail us.
Ask them for their exact handle, then search for it under Find People. Handles are exact: the same spelling, in lowercase.
Switch on message notifications in your online profile, and allow notifications for Howzit in your phone's settings. A notification tells you someone messaged you; it never shows the message text.
Open the conversation and your chat history loads. Chats are one-to-one and private between the two people in them.
Open the You tab and edit your online profile: handle, display name, city and bio.
Mail info@howzitchat.co.za with the cellphone number on the account. We remove your account, profile, messages and push tokens within 30 days.
Mail info@howzitchat.co.za with your phone model, your app version, and what you saw. A screenshot helps.
