Help Center

How can we help?

Quick answers to the most common questions about using SpawnX.

Getting started

How do I create an account?

Choose Get Started, then sign up with your email and a password or continue with Google. Email sign-ups need to confirm their address from the email we send before messaging.

How do I choose a username?

After signing up you’ll pick a unique @username (3–20 lowercase letters, numbers or underscores). People use it to find you. You can change it later in Settings → Profile.

I didn’t get the verification email.

Check your spam folder, then use “Resend email” on the verification screen. Links expire after a while; request a new one if needed.

I forgot my password.

Use Forgot password on the sign-in screen. We’ll email you a reset link if an account exists for that address.

Conversations

How do I start a conversation?

Select the “New” button in your conversation list, search for someone’s username, and choose them. If you’ve chatted before, you’ll return to the same conversation.

How do I reply to or react to a message?

Hover over a message (or tap it on a phone) to show its actions, then choose Reply or a reaction. Choose a reaction again to remove it.

Can I edit or delete a message?

Yes, for messages you sent. Open the message’s actions and choose Edit or Delete. Edited messages show “edited”; deleted ones are replaced with a short notice for everyone.

What do the check marks mean?

A clock means sending; one check means delivered to SpawnX; two checks (in direct chats) mean the other person has read it — unless either of you has read receipts turned off.

How do I search?

Use the search field above your conversations to filter by name. Inside a chat, use the search button in the header to find text in the loaded messages; load older messages to search further back.

Groups

How do I create a group?

Choose “New”, switch to “New group”, give it a name, and add people by username. You become the group’s owner.

What can owners and admins do?

Admins can add and remove members and change the group’s name and description. The owner can also make or remove admins and transfer ownership.

How do I leave a group?

Open the group’s details and choose “Leave group”. Owners need to transfer ownership first.

Photos and files

What can I share?

Images (JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF) up to 10 MB and documents (PDF, Office files, text, CSV, ZIP, MP3/M4A, MP4) up to 25 MB.

My upload failed.

Check your connection and try again from the failed upload card. Very large files on slow connections may time out.

Privacy and safety

How do I hide my online status?

Go to Settings → Privacy and turn off “Show when I’m online”.

How do I block someone?

Open your conversation with them, open the details panel, and choose Block. You can unblock them in Settings → Privacy.

How do I report abuse?

Use “Report” in a conversation’s details or on a message’s actions. Reports go to the SpawnX team for review.

How do I delete my account?

Settings → Account → Delete account. You’ll be asked to sign in again. Messages you sent remain in conversations, shown as from a deleted account.

Notifications

How do notifications work?

Turn on browser notifications in Settings → Notifications. While SpawnX is open in a tab you’re not looking at, you’ll get a notification for new messages in conversations you haven’t muted. SpawnX doesn’t yet send push notifications when it’s closed.
