No camera, no pressure
Text chat lets you meet someone without being seen or heard. You read, you reply, and you set the tone before anything else.
Type first, camera optional
Anonymous Text Chat with Strangers

Free to start · No sign-up · Skip anytime
When you would rather type than talk
Not every conversation needs a camera. Random text chat lets you meet someone new through writing — you read a message, you reply, and the whole thing stays as low-key as you want it to be.
It suits quiet moments and busy ones alike. Chat with strangers on a break, in a waiting room, or late at night, without turning anything on but your keyboard.
Why people start with text chat
Easy to start, easy to leave
Send a first message, see where it goes, and move to the next person whenever you want. A stranger text chat asks nothing of you up front.
Meet people worldwide
Random matching connects you with people well beyond your own city, so an online text chat can start a conversation you would never have found otherwise.
Start in writing, open up when it feels right
Text is a comfortable first step. When a conversation is worth more than messages, you can move it to an audio chat or a video chat with the same person — nothing is forced, and you keep the thread.
Want to stay anonymous the whole time? Use a nickname and keep it to text. An anonymous text chat is a simple, private way to meet people online.
Text chat questions
What is random text chat?
Random text chat pairs you with a stranger for a written conversation. On Flingster you press start and begin messaging someone who is online — no camera or microphone needed.
Can I text chat with random people?
Yes. Each match is a text chat with random people who are online right now — press start, say hello, and move to the next person whenever you like.
Is text chat anonymous?
Yes. You can use a nickname and keep your identity to yourself. An anonymous text chat is a low-key way to chat with strangers without sharing personal details.
Can I move from text to voice or video?
You can. If a conversation clicks, switch the same chat to voice or video whenever you both want to — text is simply where you start.
Do I need to sign up to chat with strangers?
No. Open Flingster in your browser, press start, and you are in an online text chat with someone new. There is nothing to install.
Say the first thing
