About us

Just people, talking

👋 Hi stranger,

I’m Zal. I built Strangiva because I missed the simple pleasure of a real voice: the laugh before the punchline, the little pause while someone thinks. Too often we judge a picture before we’ve heard a single word. I grew up on the early internet, where you didn’t need to hand over who you were just to talk to someone. I wanted that back.

Here, there are no profile pictures to judge. You tap once, and you’re talking to someone somewhere in the world. If you both enjoyed it, you can both tap Keep and pick it up another day. If not, you’ve still shared a few honest minutes with a stranger, which is rarer than it ought to be.

Strangiva is for adults (18+), and it’s still in testing. I’m building it here in the UK, and I read what people tell me, so your feedback genuinely shapes what it becomes.

I wish you good conversations, and every kindness. 💜

Your privacy

What happens on Strangiva stays on Strangiva

I’m from the cyberpunk generation. I grew up on an internet built by geeks, rebels and outcasts, where you picked a nickname and just talked, and nobody asked who you were. I still believe in that open society: people should be free to talk privately and anonymously. Your bank needs to know who you are. A conversation doesn’t.

“I will never sell your information. Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone, whatever happens.”

I built Strangiva so you could talk freely. That only works if you can trust it, so I made sure there's as little as possible to share in the first place: calls aren't recorded, and your chats live on your phone, not on our server.

We don't share what you do or say on Strangiva with anyone.

The only exception would be if UK law forced us to, and even then, we simply don't have your calls or your chat history.

Calls are never recordedNobody at Strangiva listens to, records or stores your calls.
Your voice goes phone to phoneCalls connect directly between the two phones and are encrypted. When a direct link isn't possible, the call passes through Cloudflare's encrypted relay, which carries the audio but can't listen to it.
No accounts, no profilesWe never ask for your email, phone number or real name, and there are no profile photos. You get a random display name, and you can change it.
Chats live on your phoneMessages with Kept strangers are stored on your two phones. Our server only holds a message until it's delivered (7 days at most), then deletes it. Your chat stays on your phone until you remove that person or delete the app.
View-once photos stay view-onceKept strangers can swap a photo that's shown once and then gone. It's never saved on your phone or on our server. The only time a photo is kept is if someone reports it.
Only what's needed for safetyTo make blocks and Keeps work, our server keeps a scrambled ID (never your name) and which pairs are blocked or Kept. If you report someone, the report includes the reason and their most recent messages so we can act on it.
Anonymous usage statsAnonymous usage stats (PostHog, EU) help us make Strangiva better, like how long matching takes. They never include call audio, chat or anything you say.

What is Strangiva

Random voice chat with strangers, anonymously

Strangiva is an iPhone app for anonymous voice chat with random strangers. Tap once and you’re in a one-to-one voice call with someone somewhere in the world. There’s no video, no profile photos and no swiping, so it’s about what people say, not how they look.

You don’t need an account. Strangiva gives you a random display name, which you can change, and never asks for your email, phone number or real name. Calls aren’t recorded.

How it works

  1. Open Strangiva and tap to start.
  2. You’re matched with a random stranger for a one-to-one voice chat.
  3. Talk, and end the call whenever you want.
  4. If you both enjoyed it, you can both tap Keep, then call and message each other another day.

FAQ

Questions people ask

What is Strangiva?

Strangiva is a voice-only app for random one-to-one chats with strangers. Tap once and you’re talking to someone somewhere in the world. There’s no video and there are no profile photos, so nobody is judged on a picture.

Is Strangiva anonymous?

Yes. There are no accounts, and Strangiva never asks for your email, phone number or real name. You get a random display name, which you can change. Your name only reaches someone after you both tap Keep.

How do I get Strangiva on iPhone?

Strangiva is in public testing on iPhone through Apple’s TestFlight, which is free. Open the Get the app link on this page on your iPhone, install TestFlight if asked, then install Strangiva. The Android version is coming soon.

Are calls recorded?

No. Nobody at Strangiva listens to, records or stores your calls. Calls connect directly between the two phones and are encrypted. When a direct link isn’t possible, the call passes through Cloudflare’s encrypted relay, which carries the audio but can’t listen to it.

Can I talk to the same person again?

Yes, if you both want to. After a call, you can both tap Keep. Kept strangers can call and message each other later, and can swap view-once photos.

What if someone is rude or abusive?

During a call, tap the red flag in the top-right corner. After a call, tap “Block or report” in the same corner. You’ll never be matched again with someone you’ve blocked. Nobody is banned over a single report or a bad moment: a person reviews it, and only sustained abuse, threats, harassment or spam leads to a ban.

Who can use Strangiva?

Strangiva is only for adults aged 18 and over.
