Talk to strangers online, by text or video

Sometimes you just want to talk to someone new: someone who doesn’t know you, has a different story, and might become a friend. Humegal lets you talk to strangers one-on-one with random text chat or video chat. Start with text if you’re shy, switch to video when you’re ready, and keep in touch with the people you click with.

Text chat or video chat: your choice

• Random text chat: no camera, just type. Good for getting to know someone first.
• Random video chat: face to face, with emoji effects and a Next button. Read more about stranger video calls.

Your privacy when you talk to strangers

• Strangers never see your email, phone number or location.
• Text chats with strangers are not stored. They disappear when the chat ends.
• Video is not recorded. It goes directly between the two devices.
• You decide who becomes a friend. Only then do they see your Humegal ID.
• Messages with friends are end-to-end encrypted, so not even Humegal can read them.

From stranger to friend

Had a great conversation? Tap Add friend. Once they accept, you can message each other, send snaps that disappear after they’re opened, see each other’s photo and video statuses for 24 hours, and video call any time. You can also add friends directly with their Humegal ID.

Staying safe

Humegal is for adults 18 and over. Report or block anyone with one tap, and they won’t be matched with you again. Sexual content in stranger video calls is detected on your device and gets the account banned. Never send money or personal photos to someone you met online, and leave any chat that feels wrong. Read the Community Guidelines.
