About Contact & Support Terms Privacy support@nightlane.chat
Private small-group messenger. No ads. No trackers.

No rooms yet. Make a new room above or open an invite link.

Rooms vs Lanes: what's the difference?
๐Ÿ’ฌ A Roomis one chat. Quick and simple: a group chat with whoever you add.
๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ A Laneis your crew's home with several chats inside, like a Discord server but simpler. Everyone in the Lane is in every chat inside it.
  • Side chats keep topics apart: ๐Ÿ’ฌ General, ๐ŸŽฎ Games, ๐ŸŽฌ Movies, ๐ŸŽต Musicโ€ฆ Hop between them with the tabs at the top of the chat.
  • ๐Ÿ”Š Voice lounges are always-on voice chats. Hop in and out without ringing anyone.
  • One invite does it all: add a friend to the Lane once and they're in every side chat.
  • The owner can make friends helpers, who can add and rename side chats too.
  • Already have a room? If you made it, open it, tap Room, then Move into a Lane. Its messages come along.

๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ No Lanes yet. Make one for your crew, add a few side chats (like ๐ŸŽฎ Games and ๐ŸŽฌ Movies), then add your friends once and they're in all of them.

No private messages yet. Go to Friends and tap Message, or tap someone's picture in a room.

          ๐Ÿ’ก Tips

          ๐Ÿ“ฒ Install NightLane as an app

          Android (Chrome): 3 dots in the top right โ†’ Add to Home screen / Install app

          iPhone (Safari): Share button โ†’ Add to Home Screen

          Samsung Internet: it can't install NightLane properly at all. Switch to Chrome.

          PC (Chrome or Edge): click the install icon at the right end of the address bar โ†’ Install.

          ๐Ÿ”” Turn on notifications

          Tap your profile icon and scroll down to Notifications and effects, turn on notifications.

          ๐Ÿ”• Android: notifications not popping up?

          Check your phone's settings: Settings โ†’ Apps โ†’ Chrome โ†’ Notifications โ†’ turn them on.

          Phone putting apps to sleep? Settings โ†’ Battery โ†’ Background usage limits โ†’ make sure Chrome is NOT in "sleeping apps"

          ๐Ÿ“ฑ iPhone: notifications not working?

          Notifications only work if NightLane was added to your home screen and opened from that icon, not from the browser directly.

          Settings โ†’ Notifications โ†’ NightLane โ†’ Allow Notifications.

          ๐Ÿ’ป PC: notifications not working?

          Each device needs its own turn-on. Turning notifications on with your phone doesn't cover your PC, so turn them on in NightLane on the PC too, then click Allow.

          Clicked Block by accident? Click the ๐Ÿ”’ next to the web address โ†’ Notifications โ†’ Allow, then reload the page.

          Windows: make sure Do Not Disturb / Focus is off, and Settings โ†’ System โ†’ Notifications โ†’ Chrome (or Edge) is turned on.

          Notifications only come in while your browser is running. In Chrome: Settings โ†’ System โ†’ turn on "Continue running background apps when Chrome is closed."

          ๐Ÿ”” General notification troubleshooting

          Make sure your device is not in "Do Not Disturb" mode and that NightLane has permission to send notifications.

          NightLane has its own settings for each chat: open the chat โ†’ Room โ†’ Notifications โ†’ pick All. If it's set to @ Mentions or Off, you won't get a pop-up for every message.

          If issues persist, try restarting your device or reinstalling the NightLane app.

          ๐Ÿ’ฌ Message options

          Double-tap a message to react. Press and hold it to see options like reply, pin, add to checklist, and you can swipe messages, swipe right to reply and swipe left to delete your own messages.

          ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Staying safe (blocking/removing friends)

          If you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, you can unfriend users by going to their profile and selecting "Remove friend".

          You can also block someone: tap one of their messages โ†’ Block. You can unblock them later from your Profile.
