Frequently asked questions

StrangerYaar is a free, anonymous chat app for talking to random strangers anywhere in the world. You get a random name and face avatar, and we match you with someone new, ideally someone who shares your interests, your language or your country.

No. Confirm you are 18 or older and you can start chatting straight away. You can optionally save your account with an email or Google later, so you keep your name and friends on a new phone.

Yes. Strangers only see your random name, face avatar and, if you choose, your country, state or city. We never show your email, phone number or exact location, and chats with strangers are not saved.

Add a few interests (like football, anime or music), the languages you speak and, if you like, your location. We first look for someone who shares an interest and a language, then widen the search after a few seconds so you are never left waiting long.

Yes. If you both tap Add friend during a chat, you become friends and can keep chatting later, including voice notes and GIFs. Friend chats are saved until one of you removes the other.

Tap the menu to report or block them. Reports go to our moderators with the last few messages, and blocked people are never matched with you again. You can still report someone for a few minutes after they leave.

Yes, chatting is free. Optional Premium plans, from a day to a month (one-time payment, no auto-renew), add extras like faster matching, choosing to match with girls or boys, sending photos and a profile photo. Premium needs a saved account.

Yes. StrangerYaar works in any modern browser on Android, iPhone and computers. You can add it to your home screen to use it like an app.

Yes. Like Omegle it pairs you with a random stranger for a one-to-one chat, but it is built for the whole world: you can match by interests, language and place, chat in over 30 languages, send voice notes and GIFs, and become friends with people you click with.

No. StrangerYaar is text chat with voice notes and GIFs, so you never have to show your face or your surroundings to a stranger. That keeps it more private and more comfortable, especially for first conversations.

You can pick the languages you speak: English, Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, Urdu, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia, Punjabi, Assamese, Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, Arabic, French, German, Russian, Turkish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Filipino, Chinese, Polish, Dutch, Persian, Swahili, Malay. We match you with someone who shares at least one of them, so the chat does not stall on a language gap.

No. StrangerYaar runs in your browser on Android, iPhone and computers. If you like, add it to your home screen from the browser menu and it opens like a regular app.

You must be 18 or older. Everyone confirms their age and agrees to the rules before their first chat, and we ban accounts that break them.
