Text chat with strangers, no account needed
Strangiva is best known for one-tap voice calls with strangers, but not every moment suits talking out loud. On the bus, in a quiet room or late at night, you can tap “Text a stranger” and be matched for a one-to-one text chat with someone new instead.
Anonymous from the first message
There’s no sign-up and no account. Strangiva never asks for your email, phone number or real name, and there are no profile photos. You get a random display name, which you can change.
Your messages aren’t kept on our server
Text chats with strangers aren’t saved on Strangiva’s server. If you and the other person both tap Keep, you become Kept strangers: your chats are then stored on your two phones, and the server only holds a message until it’s delivered (7 days at most). Strangiva never sells anyone’s information.
Matched on your wavelength, if you like
Strangiva Wavelength is optional. Paste a short anonymous summary of yourself from the AI assistant you already use, and text chats (and calls) lean towards people on a similar wavelength. The summary is turned into a private 64-number signature and the text is discarded straight away. How Wavelength works.
Switch to voice whenever you’re ready
When typing isn’t enough, a voice chat is one tap away. Talk to strangers by voice.
Fair, human moderation
Block or report anyone from “Block or report”. You’ll never be matched 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. More on safety.
