A friendlier Omegle alternative
Omegle shut down in November 2023. If you miss the simple idea behind it, talking to a random stranger with nothing at stake, StrangoChat keeps that part and drops the camera.
What is the same
- One tap and you are talking to a random person.
- No account needed to start.
- Tap Next any time to meet someone else.
What is different
- Text only. No video, no photos, so nobody can flash a camera at you.
- Adults only (18+), with rules you agree to before your first chat.
- Nearby first: we try to match you with someone in your area, then your country, then anyone.
- Shared interests: pick up to three, like Music, Gaming or Late-night talks, and people who share them are matched first.
- Keep the good ones: if you both tap Keep, you can message each other again later.
- Block and report that actually do something: three separate reports pause an account automatically.
Nothing about you is shown
The other person sees a nickname, an emoji character and interests you both picked. Never your email, your IP address or your location. When we match you nearby, they only see the word "Nearby".
Questions
Is StrangoChat free?

Is it really anonymous?
Other people only see your nickname, your emoji character and any interests you both picked. They never see your email, your account, your IP address or where you are. There are no photos and no video.
Is there video chat?
No. StrangoChat is text only, on purpose. It is easier to stay anonymous, and nobody can flash a camera at you.
