Voice chat
Voice chat with strangers, without the camera
Typing is a great way to start, but sometimes you just want to hear the other person. On ChatStranger you can turn a good text chat into a voice call in one tap, and only if both of you want to.
How voice calls work
- Start a normal text chat with a stranger.
- Once you’ve both sent a couple of messages, the Voice call button unlocks.
- Tap it and the stranger gets an invite. They can Accept or say No thanks.
- On the call you can mute yourself, see when the stranger is speaking, and end the call anytime. The text chat stays open.
Why text first?
Random voice calls with no warning can be awkward or unpleasant. Starting with text means you get a feel for someone before you hear them, and both people have to agree before anyone hears a voice. If someone keeps asking, you can skip or report them.
No video, ever
ChatStranger has no camera feature at all. Nobody sees your face or your room, and voice uses far less data than video, so calls work well on mobile data.
Privacy on calls
Calls are never recorded or stored by us, and the microphone switches off as soon as the call ends. Like most calling apps, calls connect the two devices directly when possible. See the privacy policy for details. As always, don’t say your full name, address or other personal details to a stranger.
