Talk to a stranger

Talk to a stranger

Openers that work

Talking to strangers starts with one good line

“Hi” gets a “hi” back. A question gets a conversation. Steal any of these for your next random stranger chat.

  • Okay, honest question: what are you procrastinating on right now?
  • Rate your day out of ten. I will go first — a solid six.
  • What is the last song you had on repeat?
  • Where in the world are you? I will guess the time zone.
  • If tonight had a theme, what would it be?
  • Tell me something you are weirdly good at.

Why people like talking to strangers

A stranger has no history with you. No group chat watching, no mutual friends, no expectations. That is why a random stranger chat often gets more honest, faster, than a conversation with someone you know.

On BaseChat every stranger chat is one to one. Nobody else is reading, nothing is broadcast, and the conversation ends the moment either of you taps skip. If it goes well, follow them and pick it up another night.

Four habits for a safe stranger chat

  • Keep your full name, location and social handles to yourself.
  • Never send money, codes or verification links to someone you just met.
  • Skip anyone who pushes you to move to another app.
  • Block and report — it takes a second and helps everyone after you.

Questions

Stranger chat questions

What is stranger chat?

Stranger chat pairs you with one person you have never met, picked at random from the people online. You talk, and when the conversation ends you can skip to someone new.

Is talking to strangers on BaseChat free?

Starting a random stranger chat is free. Some extras, like longer video calls, use coins — you always see the price first.

Do I have to show my face?

No. You can talk with a stranger by text, and only turn the camera on if you both want a video chat.

How do I end a chat with someone?

Tap skip or leave at any time. You never owe anyone an explanation. If someone breaks the rules, block and report them before you go.

What should I not share with a stranger?

Your full name, address, school or workplace, phone number, social media handles and anything you would not want a stranger to keep.

Someone new is one tap away
