Frequently asked questions

Is chatsizzle free?

Yes, completely. There is no paid tier, no premium features held back, and nothing to unlock. Interest matching, photos and language filters are all free.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no signup, no email, and no app to install. Pick a name, or let us generate one, and you are chatting in about five seconds.

Is it really anonymous?

You are never asked for your real name, email or phone number. Your name, age, gender and country are self-declared, never verified, and never looked up from your IP address. Your conversation is held in memory for up to 30 minutes after it ends, readable only by a moderator reviewing a report, then erased. Nothing is written to disk and nothing survives a restart.

Is chatsizzle a good Omegle alternative?

Omegle shut down in 2023, and chatsizzle covers the same idea: instant, anonymous, one-on-one text chat with a stranger. The differences are that we match you on shared interests rather than pairing at random, and that you can report or skip anyone at any time.

What happens to the photos I send?

They are held in memory, never written to disk, and expire on a timer. Send one as view-once and it disappears from the chat the moment the other person opens it. We keep the image for up to 30 minutes after that, visible only to a moderator reviewing a report, and then erase it.

Can the other person save a photo I sent?

Yes. The disappear timer removes the photo from the chat, but anyone can screenshot their own screen or save the image before it expires, and no website can prevent that. What we do instead: the viewer has to hold a finger on the photo to see it, so it is on their screen for seconds rather than the whole timer; every photo is stamped with the name of the person viewing it and the time, so a leaked copy points back at whoever it was shown to; and you are told the moment they open it. Treat the timer as a courtesy, not a guarantee, and never send anything you would mind a stranger keeping.

Can I chat with someone who speaks another language?

Yes. On Chrome and Edge, incoming messages are translated into your language on your own device, so nothing you say is ever sent to a translation service. The original text stays visible underneath the translation.

How does interest matching work?

Add a few interests and we rank everyone currently waiting by how well they fit, taking your language, age and gender preferences into account. Preferences only rank the queue, they never filter it, so you always get matched with somebody rather than waiting forever for a perfect stranger.

How old do I have to be?

You must be at least 13 to use chatsizzle. Ages are self-declared, so treat everything a stranger tells you as unverified, and read our safety page before you start.
