# Start a new chat

All your current and future conversations will be stored in the **CHAT** section. To start a new chat:

1. Go to the user’s profile.
2. Click the **Chat** button.
3. You’ll be redirected to a private chat window.

When you send your first message, the user will need to **accept** your chat request — after that, your chat becomes fully open for both of you.

> Sending a gift or a tip to a streamer unlocks your chat with them automatically, so you don’t need to wait for them to accept a request!

If you sent the wrong message, no worries — you can **edit or delete it**. Just right-click (or tap and hold on mobile) the message, and the action menu will appear.
