What “anonymous” really means
On these platforms the other person sees a nickname, not your account details. That does not make you invisible: the platform itself can still keep logs, and the stranger can screenshot or record what you show.
Anonymous with an account (AnonChat asks you to log in with Google or Apple) is different from anonymous without one (Joingy, StrangerMeetup). Pick what you are comfortable with.
Keep your mystery
- Use a nickname you do not use anywhere else.
- Leave your school, workplace, city and social handles out of the chat.
- On video, check what is visible behind you.
- If someone pushes for personal details, end the chat.

Questions
Is anonymous stranger chat safe?
It can be, if you keep personal details private, use the report tools and leave chats that feel wrong. Anonymity also means you cannot verify who you are talking to.
Which anonymous chat needs no account?
Joingy and StrangerMeetup say no registration is needed; Chitchat’s text chat needs none either.
