How to Chat with Friends using Termux

If you want to chat with your friend you can use Netcat also but in this post, we are using irssi package in termux. Irssi is an Internet relay chat client since 1999. With the help of this tool, you can chat with a group of people by joining channels available on IRSSI servers or you can create Your Own Channel Too.

You can create your own channel(Group) on irssi which is completely free and your friends can join the same channel to chat with you. It is similar to a chat group on WhatsApp but the only difference is command-line based.

It is a little bit complex at the start But it is awesome that you can chat with everyone using CLI, you can use this to chat with all of your hacker friendsπŸ‘Ύ.

Send Colored Text in Irssi Chat in Termux:

Now you know how you can chat on irssi using termux but the problem you will face while texting on IRSSI is that you will see everyone's text in the same color which is white but what if you want to send some important text and you want everyone to you to read it. Or what if you want to send some warning to everywhere in the channel. To highlight your message in some different colors you can use some command in IRSSI.

Send Blue Coloured Text In IRSSI:

You can use below command to send Blue colored message in IRSSI.
CTRL+C2 Your-Messege-Here
You have To press CTRL+c and Then You have to press 2 without Giving Space and then type anything You want and it will be in Blue color.  You can also Enable Extra keys like I did in the Below pic to Easily use Termux using this Post. [Enable Extra Keys In Termux]





Send Diffrent Coloured Text In IRSSI:

Now in the above Example, You can see that with just one single command You can Send Blue colored Text but what if you want to send red or green or any other color? so to change other colors after pressing control and c you just have to change the number like,
CTRL+c3 Your-text-here
So in the Above code, you just have to change the green part which is the number, if you type 3 you will see Green color and if you Type 4 You will see Red color, Just keep increasing the numbers and you will see New colors.





Conclusion :

If you want to chat like a hacker or you want to use termux as your group chatting app you can use Irssi. It is fun to chat using CLI and no one will recognize what you are doing as compared to using WhatsApp because everyone knows you are texting when you open Whatsapp. If you want to chat with me you can connect to my channel #LearnTermux.Tech and maybe you can meet some termux users like you.

    1. I can't Give you channels list because on irssi almost 90% of people just don't talk(my experience)instead I can give you a command to Find every channel on the free node.
      After Connecting to Freenode server(after running this command: /connect Freenode
      )

      You can type this command to find all the available channel on the Freenode server
      /list -YES

      Now you will see all the channels but you can't scroll, To scroll in irssi you need PageUp and PageDown button you can Enable Those button by reading this blog [Enable Extra Keys in Termux in less than 30 secs]
