Stranger Talk

Chat With Strangers for Friendship, Not Dating

Stranger Talk is a free, anonymous text chat with no swipes, no profiles and no signup, so conversations stay about talking, not matching.

Most apps that help you meet new people are dating apps in disguise. If you just want someone to talk to about music, a bad day, a show you finished or the city you live in, you need a place that isn't built around looks and likes.

What makes a chat platonic-friendly

How to keep it friendly

  1. Say it early. "Just here to chat and maybe make a friend" sets the tone without being awkward.
  2. Start with interests. Ask about music, food, places or what they're watching.
  3. Move on if it shifts. If someone keeps pushing for photos or flirting after you've said no, tap Next or block.
