AnonChat

AnonChat is a random-match chat service for talking with strangers, offered on the web and as iOS and Android apps. The landing page leads with the promise of no names and no personal info, plus Start chat and Download buttons. According to the site, starting a chat requires signing in with Google or Apple, and an 18+ confirmation is requested at sign-in.

The site describes text chat, voice messages, photo and video sharing and calls, along with adding contacts as friends and saving conversations. The interface we saw was in English. Although the service was listed for a Russian-speaking audience, no Russian content was visible during the check. No online user count is shown, so the landing page gives no sense of how busy the service is. The site also notes that its iOS app has been renamed SoChat.

The only visible moderation tool is a rules page. Reporting, blocking or active moderators may exist inside the chat, but we could not confirm them from the landing pages. Third-party advertising is light. The page's own promotion is more prominent: a yellow banner at the top pushes a Premium subscription with card payment, and a scrolling strip below it advertises the App Store app.

The site loaded over HTTPS without redirects or browser warnings. The "no personal info" headline sits awkwardly next to the requirement to sign in with a Google or Apple account, which links your use of the service to that account. On mobile, the layout adapts cleanly, with large buttons and readable text. The Premium banner can be dismissed.

AnonChat suits adults who want one-to-one chats with strangers in English and do not mind signing in with a Google or Apple account. Anyone looking for truly account-free anonymity, or for a Russian-speaking crowd, should look elsewhere.
