Protect Your Identity
RandomChat is designed for anonymity. Keep it that way by protecting your personal information:
- Never share personal information: This includes your real name, address, phone number, email, workplace, or school.
- Don't show identifying details on camera: Be aware of what's visible in your background—mail, documents, or location-revealing items.
- Use a generic username: If you mention a name, make up something generic.
- Don't share social media accounts: Keep your online identities separate.
Safe Chatting Practices
- Trust your instincts: If something feels wrong, click "Next" immediately.
- Don't feel obligated: You owe nothing to strangers. End any conversation that makes you uncomfortable.
- Keep conversations light: Avoid deep personal topics with strangers.
- Be skeptical: People may not be who they say they are.
- Don't agree to meet in person: RandomChat is for online interaction only.
⚠️ Warning Signs - Skip Immediately If Someone:
- Asks for personal information (name, location, contact details)
- Requests you to move to another platform
- Asks for money or financial information
- Makes you feel uncomfortable in any way
- Engages in illegal, abusive, or inappropriate behavior
- Pressures you to do anything you don't want to do
Video Chat Safety
- Check your background: Before enabling video, ensure nothing personal is visible.
- Use good lighting: Make sure your face is visible to have genuine conversations.
- Dress appropriately: Keep conversations respectful.
- Know how to end quickly: Familiarize yourself with the "Skip" button.

Reporting & Blocking

💡 Remember
Your safety is in your hands. RandomChat provides tools for anonymous conversation, but you control what you share and who you talk to. When in doubt, click "Next" and move on.
Mental Health
While RandomChat can be a fun way to meet people, it's not a substitute for professional help if you're struggling:
- If you're feeling depressed, anxious, or in crisis, please reach out to a mental health professional.
- Don't rely on strangers for emotional support on serious issues.
- Take breaks from the platform if you're feeling overwhelmed.
Stay safe and enjoy meeting people from around the world!
