There is a "Discover" section of the app, allowing participants to "subscribe to channels." Some of these channels include categories like Fantasy & Art, New York Fashion, and Gif Channel. For those not wanting to share their phone number, it's still possible to connect with others using a link. Parents can prevent kids from being added to groups and can limit chats to known contacts and people in the phone book or contact list. In terms of privacy features, parents can create a passcode to lock the settings. And with permission for the device to access the camera, it's possible to send photos, videos, stickers and emojis. Features in chats include being able to send texts with a voice-to-text feature and an option to create a poll to survey other participants. It's possible for up to 30 members to chat simultaneously on the app. There is even a little COVID-19 humor, as filters include wearing face masks and being able to open your mouth and watch as green "germs" fill the screen. While chatting, ICQ includes access to over 90 different filters or face masks, like transforming into a kitty astronaut and many others. Users can also create a nickname to use when chatting instead of using their real name. A phone number is required to log into the app, but devices - even iPads without cellular capabilities - are able to connect over WIFI. Add as many as you like! You can find the list of Xtraz for download on the Xtraz Gallery.ICQ NEW: MESSENGER & CHAT is an app that offers a free way for users to text and video chat. Now you can create, download, use and share with friends fun and useful applications such as music, games, gadgets and tools.

ICQ Open Xtraz are web based applications developed by ICQ users for enriching your ICQ experience. In the message window you can also choose to display your photo or one of ICQ's unique, animated devils. This means that you can send your friends & contacts greeting cards and invitations to games, multi chats, video sessions, and more directly from your client and/or the message window.


You can customize your ICQ to be exactly what you need and always up-to-date by adding shortcuts to your favorite features in order to launch them directly from your ICQ. If you're away from your personal computer you can still chat with friends and contacts, even where the ICQ client is not installed, by using the web-based ICQ2Go that works from any computer. With ICQ Instant Messenger you can video/audio chat, send email, SMS and wireless-pager messages, as well as transfer files and URLs.
