A shareable link for anonymous messages

Share a question box in an Instagram Story, profile, group chat, class, or community when you want candid questions and replies without respondent accounts.

Instagram anonymous question box

Add the question box link to a Story link sticker or profile and invite followers to ask without attaching an account.

Honest replies from friends

Share the link in a group chat or club channel to collect questions and feedback without requiring display names.

Class and community Q&A

Give people a separate place to ask questions when speaking publicly or creating another account would be uncomfortable.

Anonymous message link FAQ

Can I create an anonymous message link like NGL?

Yes. Create a LOCK.PUB Ask board and share its link on Instagram or a messaging app. Unlike NGL, visitors also enter a separate question box password.

Do people who send questions need an account?

No. Respondents open the link, enter the question box password, and submit a question without a LOCK.PUB account. The creator can start as a guest and later connect an account to keep managing the board.

Can I see who sent a question?

LOCK.PUB does not ask respondents for a profile or display name when they submit a question. A message may still reveal identifying details, and a very small sharing group can make the sender easier to infer.

How should I share the link and password?

Share them only with the audience you want to invite. For a sensitive question box, send the link and password through separate channels.
