Why we built ChatWithStrangers and our mission to bring back genuine, private conversations.
In today's digital world, having a private conversation has become nearly impossible. Every major platform tracks your messages, sells your data, and requires mountains of personal information just to say "hello" to someone.
We grew frustrated watching people give up their privacy just to connect with others. Email addresses, phone numbers, real names, profile photos – all harvested, analyzed, and monetized. We asked ourselves: Does it really have to be this way?
ChatWithStrangers was born from a simple belief: genuine conversations don't need surveillance. We set out to build a platform where privacy isn't an afterthought or a premium feature – it's the foundation.
No registration means no database of user information to be hacked. No message storage means nothing for governments or advertisers to subpoena. No tracking means you're just a person having a conversation, not a product being analyzed.
Every decision we make starts with one question: "Does this protect our users' privacy?"
We believe the best conversations happen when people feel safe and anonymous.
Breaking down barriers to let people connect across borders and cultures.
We believe privacy is a right, not a privilege. That's why ChatWithStrangers is completely free.
Unlike other platforms that claim privacy but still collect your data, ChatWithStrangers is architecturally designed to know nothing about you:
We're committed to maintaining ChatWithStrangers as a sanctuary for private communication. As we grow, our principles stay the same:
ChatWithStrangers is created by a small team of developers who believe the internet can be better. We're passionate about privacy, open-source software, and creating technology that respects users. We don't have investors pushing us to monetize your data, and we never will.
Every time you use ChatWithStrangers, you're voting for a more private internet. You're showing that people want alternatives to surveillance capitalism. Thank you for being part of this movement.
