No surprises

New here? Here's exactly what happens, step by step.

If you've never used an anonymous random chat platform before, the whole flow takes under a minute to understand. This walks through it before you start.

Start your first chat

The first few steps

1. Choose guest or login

Guest access skips account creation; logging in keeps extra account features available.

2. Wait for a match

A short queue connects you with another user once one is available.

3. Start typing

Once matched, you can send a message right away; there's no extra setup step.

4. Leave anytime

End the conversation whenever you want and start a new match if you'd like.

Before you send your first message

Keep personal details to yourself early on, and know that you can leave a conversation immediately for any reason. See the safety guide for a fuller rundown before you start, and the conversation tips guide for what to actually say.

Questions

What happens right after I click start?

You're placed into a short matching queue, then connected 1v1 with another user once a match is found. Wait time depends on how many people are online.

Can I see who I'm matched with before chatting?

No. Matching is random; you find out basic details like gender, age range, or country only once connected, if that information was shared.

What if I want to stop right after matching?

You can leave immediately after being matched, with no explanation required, and start a new match whenever you're ready.
