Why people enjoy talking to strangers
Conversations with strangers can be refreshingly honest. You can discuss a movie you loved, ask for advice on a problem, practise your English or simply pass time with someone in a different city.
Many lasting friendships on our site started as a simple hello in the lobby.
Safety rules for stranger chat
Use a nickname, not your full name. Do not share your address, school, workplace or phone number early on. Never send money, gift cards or OTP codes. Turn on your camera only with people you trust, and remember that anything you show can be recorded by the other side.
If someone threatens you or asks for private images, block them, report them and stop replying. You are never obliged to continue a conversation.
