1. Set up your account
Open web chat or the iOS app, create an account or sign in, and follow the profile steps. Review the nickname, image, and other profile details you will use to introduce yourself.
One-on-one text chat · Adults 18+
Talk to strangers online, one conversation at a time.
Choose someone new to message on Anichat. Start with a text, see where the conversation goes, and decide whether you want to talk again.
An account is required. Choose web chat or the app for iPhone and iPad.
Getting started
From signing in to sending your first message.
Anichat is built around individual conversations. You choose someone to message; a reply depends on whether the other person wants to chat.
2. Choose someone to talk to
Start a new chat and look through the people available. Read the profile details they share, then choose a person you would like to message.
3. Send a simple introduction
Say hello and ask one easy question. Give them time to respond, then use their answer to guide the conversation. You can stop whenever you want.
What kind of chat is it?
Your messages go into a one-on-one conversation instead of a public chat room. Text gives you a place to introduce yourself, exchange recommendations, or talk about a shared interest.
You can keep chatting inside Anichat without giving the other person your phone number, email address, or social handles. Your profile and anything you send can still tell them about you. The anonymous-chat guide explains profile visibility and sharing choices.
Choose where to start.
In your browser
Open Anichat Web Chat and follow the account and profile steps there. It is the browser entry point for starting a conversation.
On iPhone or iPad
Install Anichat from the App Store. In the iOS app, recent chats and favorites help you find conversations you want to return to. Some controls require an optional premium subscription.
Something easy to answer is enough.
Try “Hi! Have you watched anything good lately?” If they offer a recommendation, ask what they liked and share one of your own. There is no need to send several questions before they reply.
Our conversation starters and follow-up examples give you more options. When you both want to talk again, see how to keep a new connection going.
You choose whether to continue.
A conversation is an invitation, not an obligation. Leave when you no longer want to chat, block unwanted contact, and report conduct that breaks the rules. Anichat is for adults 18+.
