Anonymous chat with strangers
No account, no email, no username. talktostrangersnow lets you chat with a random stranger without telling anyone who you are, and text messages disappear when the chat ends.
By starting a chat, you confirm you're 18+ and will be respectful. To keep everyone safe, our team moderates video chats and may see their messages and occasional camera snapshots. We never record or save your video calls.
Chat without telling anyone who you are
Sometimes you just want to talk without a profile, a username or a history following you around. On talktostrangersnow there is nothing to sign up for: open the site, press Text or Video, and you're chatting with a random stranger. Nobody knows who you are unless you tell them.

Frequently asked questions
Is the chat really anonymous?
Yes. There is no account, name, email or phone number. The stranger only knows what you choose to tell them, so keep personal details to yourself.
Are anonymous chats saved?
Text messages are not stored and disappear when the chat ends. Video calls are never recorded. Information is only kept when a chat is reported, so a moderator can review it.
Can the stranger see my location?
Your location is never shown to the stranger. In text chat, messages go through our server, so they never connect to you directly. Video chat connects the two browsers directly for speed, so for extra privacy on video you can use a VPN.
How do I stay safe in an anonymous chat?
Do not share your real name, address, social media or photos, and do not click links from strangers. If a chat feels wrong, end it and use the Report button.
