In one sentence

Strangiva is an anonymous, voice-only app for random one-to-one chats with strangers: tap once and you’re talking to someone somewhere in the world, with no accounts, no profile photos and no video.

Boilerplate

Strangiva (pronounced “stran-JEE-va”) is an anonymous voice chat app for adults (18+), built in the UK by Zalan Khan. One tap connects you one-to-one with a stranger anywhere in the world. There’s no sign-up, and calls are encrypted and never recorded. Strangiva is in a free public beta on iPhone through Apple’s TestFlight, with the App Store launch planned for 1 January 2027. The Android version is coming soon.

From the founder

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

Zalan Khan, founder of Strangiva. Both quotes are from the home page.

About the founder

Zalan Khan is the founder of Strangiva. He grew up on the early internet, where you didn’t need to hand over who you were just to talk to someone, and he’s building Strangiva in the UK to bring that back, by voice.
