About Funstranger
Funstranger is a free place to talk to someone new, play live chess while you chat, and make friends safely. One tap matches you with a random stranger — no feeds, no pressure.
Why we built it
Most of the internet connects you with people you already know, or people an algorithm thinks you should see. We wanted the opposite: a simple way to have an honest, unexpected conversation with someone you'd never otherwise meet.
When Omegle closed in 2023, millions of people lost that. Funstranger is our take on bringing it back — with the problems fixed. Read more about how we compare as an Omegle alternative.
What we believe
- Conversation over content. Text chat and casual chess keep the focus on what people say and think, not how they look.
- Privacy by default. Strangers never see your Google account, and random chats are not stored once delivered.
- Real people only. Verified Google sign-in keeps bots out so every match is a real human.
- Free for everyone. No coins, no premium filters, no paywalls. The site is supported by unobtrusive ads.
Who uses Funstranger
People come to kill time, play a casual chess match while chatting, practise a language, or make new online friends. Every chat is different — that's the fun of it.
