Random Chat Online - Talk to Strangers Anonymously

Random Chat (randomchat.now) is a free online chat site that connects you one-to-one with a random stranger who is online now. There is no webcam: you talk by text and can share photos, videos, and audio clips.

You can start as a guest without creating an account, or sign in with Google, Apple, or email. With an account you can add friends, keep talking in friend rooms, and turn on automatic translation of incoming messages.

Matching and chatting are free. Optional points, sold as one-time packs, pay for extras such as choosing a preferred gender or country for matching.

Random Chat has been running since 2013 and is also available as an Android app on Google Play. The web app works in desktop and mobile browsers in more than 80 languages. The website is operated by FOREST SOFT CO., LTD. in South Korea.

Anonymous Chat With Strangers

You do not need a public profile to start a conversation, and guest mode does not ask for an email address. You decide what to share and when to leave.

Anonymous does not mean consequence-free. Users who are abusive can be blocked and reported from the chat.

Safe and Private Random Chat

Keep your full name, address, school, workplace, and contact details private until you trust the other person.

If a chat feels wrong, leave it, block the user, and report them. You can also use the report page or email support@randomchat.now. Read the privacy policy and terms before you start.
