How it works
Four steps, then a live call. Nothing here is a waiting-room animation — the queue is the real matchmaking queue.
1. Create an adult account
You sign up with email and password, or continue with Google where that is offered. We ask for a date of birth once. If you are under 18, the account is refused. That date cannot be edited later, because editing it would be the obvious way around the gate.
You also accept the Terms, Community Standards, and Child Safety Policy before matching is available. Camera and microphone permission is requested when you actually start a call, not at install.
2. Tap Start
The app joins a matchmaking queue. Optional filters (for example gender or language) may relax over time if nobody matches, so you are not stuck forever on an empty filter. While you wait you see a real online count and your position in the queue when we have it.
3. Talk
When two people match, the phones set up a WebRTC video call. Video and audio go phone-to-phone when the network allows it. If both of you are behind strict NAT, an encrypted relay we operate carries the packets without storing the media.
On the receiving phone, face detection can blur the picture if no face is in view. That is a safety default for unexpected content, not a beauty filter. Either person can mute, turn the camera off, open text chat, report, or hang up.
4. Next, hang up, or stay in touch
Hang up returns you home. Next puts you back in the queue for a different person. If the conversation was good, you can send a friend request during the call; if they accept, you can ring that person later instead of waiting on random match. You can also unfriend later so they lose that shortcut.
What the servers see
Signalling (who is matched, ICE candidates, hang-up) goes through our servers. The pictures and sound of a normal call do not. If someone taps Report, the reporting phone may upload a few still frames from the video it received so moderators are not guessing. That evidence is kept for a limited time and is not used for ads. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
