Frequently Asked Questions

Random chat is an online platform that connects you with strangers from around the world for instant conversations. It allows you to meet new people, practice languages, make friends, or simply have interesting discussions without needing to know the person beforehand. Random chat can include text messaging, voice calls, or video chat depending on the platform. Learn more about Chatib's mission to connect people worldwide.

Random chat platforms use algorithms to pair users randomly. When you join, the system connects you with another online user. You can start chatting immediately through text, voice, or video. If you don't feel comfortable with your current chat partner, most platforms allow you to skip to the next person with a simple click.

At Chatib, you can start chatting immediately without registration! Simply choose a nickname, select your age and country, and you're ready to go. No email verification, no lengthy forms, no waiting. However, we do offer optional account creation if you want to save preferences or access additional features.

Yes! Chatib is completely free to use. We offer unlimited text chat, access to all chat rooms, and the ability to connect with users worldwide at absolutely no cost. There are no hidden fees, no premium tiers, and no paywalls. We're supported by ethical advertising that doesn't interfere with your chat experience.

Text chat involves typing messages back and forth, similar to instant messaging. It's more private and doesn't require a camera or microphone. Video chat includes live video and audio, allowing face-to-face conversations. Video chat feels more personal but requires more bandwidth and privacy considerations. At Chatib, we currently offer text and voice chat with video features coming soon.

Anonymous chat rooms are group conversations where multiple users can participate without revealing their real identities. These rooms often focus on specific topics, interests, or demographics. Unlike one-on-one random chat, chat rooms allow you to observe conversations before participating and interact with multiple people simultaneously.

While the core concept of random chat is connecting with random strangers, Chatib offers filters to help narrow down matches. You can filter by country/region, age range, and gender preferences. These filters help you find more compatible chat partners while maintaining the element of randomness and discovery.

Never share:

• Your full name, address, or phone number
• Email address or social media profiles
• School, workplace, or specific locations you frequent
• Financial information or payment details
• Identity documents or photos
• Daily routines or schedules

Keep conversations general and enjoy the anonymity that protects your privacy!

Chatib provides easy reporting mechanisms. Simply click the "Report" button during or after chats. Our moderation team reviews reports quickly and takes action against users who violate our community guidelines. You can also use the block feature immediately when encountering inappropriate behavior. For serious concerns, contact us through our Safety Center.

Absolutely! When you block a user, they won't be able to contact you again, and you won't be matched with them in future random connections. This feature is essential for maintaining a positive chat experience. There's no limit to how many users you can block.

Chatib doesn't permanently store conversation content. However, always assume that anything you share could potentially be seen by others (the person you're chatting with could screenshot or share). We may temporarily log chats for moderation purposes to ensure community safety. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.

Absolutely! Random chat is an excellent way to practice languages with native speakers. Use our country filters to Chat with strangers who speak the language you're learning. It provides real-world conversation practice that's often more engaging than traditional language learning methods. Many users specifically seek language exchange partners on Chatib! Check out our blog for language learning tips and conversation starters.

Chat rooms often organize around specific interests like:

• Music, movies, and entertainment
• Gaming and esports
• Sports and fitness
• Technology and programming
• Travel and culture
• Education and learning
• Regional topics (by country or city)

Topic-based rooms help you find people with similar interests.

For privacy reasons, Chatib doesn't automatically save chat history. Conversations are temporary by default, which protects everyone's privacy. If you want to remember something important from a chat, we recommend taking notes separately (never save personal information about other users).

Try these solutions:

• Try different times: Peak hours (evenings and weekends) have more users
• Broaden filters: Remove strict age or location filters
• Check connection: Ensure you're properly connected to the platform
• Be patient: It may take a moment to find the right match

1. Immediately end the conversation - You're never obligated to continue
2. Use the block feature - Prevent future contact
3. Report the behavior - Help keep the community safe
4. Don't engage - Don't argue or respond to provocation
5. Take screenshots - If needed for serious violations

We have zero tolerance for harassment, explicit content, hate speech, and abusive behavior.

Quick disconnections are normal in random chat culture. People might be:

• Looking for specific types of conversations
• Searching for someone from a particular region
• Simply browsing to see who's online
• Dealing with technical issues

Don't take quick disconnections personally - it's part of the random chat experience. Just move on to the next conversation!

Tips for great conversations:

• Start with friendly, open greetings
• Ask open-ended questions about interests or culture
• Be respectful and patient
• Share appropriate information about yourself
• Listen actively and show genuine interest
• Avoid controversial topics initially
• Keep a positive attitude
• Be yourself - authenticity matters!
