From chat rooms to one-on-one
For years “Iraqi chat” meant a room full of nicknames, everyone talking over each other and the same few people in charge. Chitmet works differently: you press Start, and you are matched with one person who is also waiting — private, with nobody watching and nothing saved for anyone else to read.
Add interests — Al-Zawraa, Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, Al-Shorta, the Lions of Mesopotamia, gaming, studying, cars, poetry, music — and what you share shows the moment you connect. If the conversation is good, send Keep in touch; it only becomes a friendship if the other person accepts.
When Iraq is online
Late nights are busiest, from about 10 pm until 2 am, and Thursday and Friday nights most of all. Iraq is on the same clock as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Jordan, so with Arabic and an open country there is nearly always someone free.
On mornings when the internet is switched off for national exams nothing online works, Chitmet included — it comes back when the connection does. Kurdish is not in the language filter yet; Kurdish speakers can set the country to Iraq and write Kurdish in the chat.
Safety and scams
Nobody on Chitmet needs a Zain Cash transfer, a top-up card number, your national ID or a photo of you. If someone asks for money, credit or personal pictures, or wants to move to Telegram or WhatsApp straight away, press Report and Block — the moderation team follows up.
The other person sees your show name, gender and, only if you choose, your country. Chitmet does not record calls; only if you report a call are its last minutes sent to moderators, and they are deleted after seven days. Respect local law and each other.
