The benefit is you can have open conversations with people you already know and feel close to and talk about everything you wish you could but never do. Open is an anonymous messaging app to chat honestly with people you know, without fear of judgement or criticism. Thank you for the feedback, we are of course disappointed you haven't had a positive experience using Open, but your feedback is really helpful. The only purpose it serves is to get the company more downloads. TLDR: anonymous chats are cool, but the anonymity makes the whole shared-contacts thing really sketchy. And I know someone from the company will say “sorry you had a bad experience, it’s not spam blah blah blah” but like, there’s literally no benefit to chatting anonymously with friends. So the whole connecting with your contacts thing is totally spam. So thank god! Since it’s all anonymous, it doesn’t really matter whether or not the people I’m talking to are my friends.

I checked with my mom and she never got a text invite.

The app had full access to my contacts, but again, the way it was worded it seemed like it invited all my contacts to join via text message. During setup I went (admittedly, too quickly) through the privacy settings and accidentally agreed to every pop up. The wording made it sound like someone I knew wanted to chat with me directly but anonymously. I also got a text with a link to the app because a ‘friend’ was inviting me. * Open has a zero tolerance policy towards mean, judgmental, or inappropriate behavior. In other words, behave as if you're chatting with a close friend.
