Omegle closed in November 2023, and most of what replaced it is still built around a webcam. If you’d rather just talk, there’s now a small group of voice-only services. This is a voice-only list; for video and text options too, see our best Omegle alternatives in 2026.
We make Strangiva, so we’re not neutral. We’ve described ourselves on the same terms as everyone else, and every detail about other services comes from their own websites.
What to look for
- No camera. Voice only, one to one.
- What it asks for. An account, an email, a phone number, or nothing?
- Recording. Does the service say calls aren’t recorded?
- Block and report on every call.
- 18+. Talking to strangers is for adults.
1. Strangiva: an iPhone app for one-to-one voice calls
Strangiva is an iPhone app, in public beta on TestFlight. Tap once and you’re in a one-to-one voice call with a stranger somewhere in the world. No account, no phone number, no profile photos. Calls are encrypted and never recorded. If you both tap Keep, you can call each other again another day. Strangiva Wavelength is optional: paste in a short, anonymous summary of you, and Strangiva turns it into a private 64-number signature, immediately discards the text and leans your calls towards people on a similar wavelength.
Best for: people who’d rather have a proper app on their phone than a browser tab. Not for: Android users yet.
2. HereSay: voice in the browser, with live listening
Browser-based, no sign-up needed. Its site says every free call is a live broadcast that others can tune into, and Premium adds filters by gender, age and interests.
Best for: people who like the idea of listening in before they talk.
3. Yapping: voice, plus text
Browser-based, no sign-up. Its site says voice chat is moderated with one-tap reporting, and it also has a text chat mode.
Best for: people who want to switch between voice and text.
4. WaveTalk: voice plus games
Browser-based, no account or email. Its site says you can play quick games during calls, add friends and make private group calls, that every call runs through a relay so the other person never sees your IP address, and that it’s completely free.
Best for: chats with an icebreaker built in.
5. Whislink: minimal browser voice calls
Browser-based, no sign-up. You get a random username and avatar, you can send a message or a photo during the call, and its site says calls aren’t recorded and messages and photos aren’t stored on its servers.
Best for: quick, simple calls.
6. WILDCARD: voice with preferences and rooms
Browser-based, no account needed for one-to-one calls. You can set country, gender and interest preferences, and there are group rooms. Optional registration adds call history, a friends list and DMs.
Best for: people who want more control over who they meet.
Browser site or app?
Browser sites are quick to try and work on a laptop. An app can remember the people you both chose to keep and let them ring you later. That’s why we built Strangiva as an app. There’s more in our post on random voice chat on iPhone.
Stay safe on any of them
Never share your full name, address, school, workplace or social media handles. End the call the moment something feels off, and use block and report.

Details for other services come from their own websites, checked on 30 October 2026, and may have changed. We have no connection to any of them.
