Random Video Chat with Strangers
Talk face-to-face with a random person in your browser — no plugin, no download, no store listing. Camera access is asked for once and you can end the call at any moment.
Talk to Strangers Online, Make Friends Anywhere
Free anonymous chat with random people worldwide — no app to install, no account to create, and nothing stored once you disconnect. Text or video, straight from your browser.
What You Get on Anoniz
Anonymous Text Chat
Prefer to keep the camera off? Text chat pairs you with a stranger for real-time messaging, with no profile attached and no message history left behind.
Interest-Based Matching
Add topics you actually care about — music, gaming, travel, language exchange — and Anoniz tries to pair you with someone who shares them instead of pairing at random.
No App, No Sign-Up
There is nothing to install and no account to create. App-based chat platforms now face age-gating and removal from app stores; a browser tab has neither problem.
Nothing Stored
Anoniz does not store, record, or log your conversations. When you disconnect, the conversation is gone — there is no archive to search and nothing to leak later.
18+, Moderated, Ad-Free
Every chat starts behind an age confirmation, with content moderation and reporting tools in place. No ads, no premium tier, no upsell mid-conversation.
Why People Chat with Strangers Here
Anonymous by Default, Not by Setting
You are not asked for an email, a phone number, or a profile photo, so there is no identity to protect in the first place. Nobody sees a follower count or a post history — only what you choose to say.
A Conversation in Under a Minute
Pick text or video, confirm you are 18 or older, and you are matched. No install, no verification email, no waiting for someone to accept a request before you can talk.
Works on the Phone You Already Have
Anoniz runs in any modern browser on Android, iOS, and desktop. Nothing takes up storage and nothing needs updating, which also means no app store can remove it from your phone.
Strangers Beat the Group Chat
Talking to someone with no context about you is easier than talking to people who have plenty. There is no reputation to manage and no history to work around — just a conversation that ends when you close the tab.

How Anoniz Compares
Omegle closed in November 2023, and the random chat apps that replaced it now sit under stricter app store rules — Google Play began treating anonymous and random chat apps as age-restricted in August 2026, and Apple lists random chat among the app types it can remove without notice. A browser-based platform has no listing to lose and nothing to install.

| Cost | Free, no premium tier | Free tier plus paid upgrades | Free with ads or subscriptions |
