A simple, safer way to chat with random people
Funstranger is a free stranger chat site for meeting new people through quick, anonymous one-on-one text conversations and live chess games. Whether you're bored, want to practise your English, play a quick 10-minute match, or make a new friend, you're one tap away from someone new.
Unlike open chat rooms, every conversation is private between you and one stranger. Your Google details stay hidden — and if you vibe, tap Add Friend to connect with anonymous handles only. Because every account is verified with Google, you spend less time dodging bots and more time having real conversations.

Frequently asked questions
Is Funstranger free?
Yes. Funstranger is completely free with no premium tier, no coins and no limits on how many strangers you can talk to or chess games you can play.
Is it really anonymous?
Yes. You sign in with Google so we can keep bots out, but strangers never see your name, email or Google profile photo — even if you become friends, they only see your anonymous handle.
Can I make friends or play chess while chatting?
Yes! Any time during a conversation you can send a chess invite to play a live 10-minute game side-by-side, or tap Add Friend — if both of you accept, you can message each other anytime.
Are stranger chats saved?
No. Stranger chat messages are relayed in real time and are not stored once delivered. Only direct messages between mutual friends are saved so you can catch up later.
Why do I need to sign in with Google?
Requiring a real account keeps spam bots and throwaway trolls out of the queue, so you're matched with real people. Your Google details stay private.
Is Funstranger a good Omegle alternative?
Since Omegle shut down in 2023, Funstranger offers the same instant one-on-one random chat, with Google sign-in to block bots, interest matching, live chess and a one-tap skip button.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Funstranger runs in any modern mobile or desktop browser — no app to download. You can also add it to your home screen.
How old do I have to be?
You must be at least 18 years old to use Funstranger.
