About Friends Talk
Voice-first random chat
Friends Talk is a place to have a conversation with someone you have never met, using only your voice. There is no camera, no profile, no follower count, and no account. You press a button, and a few seconds later a stranger says hello.
Why voice
Random video chat has an obvious problem: the first thing that happens is that two people judge each other on appearance, and one of them leaves. Whatever might have been said never gets said. Removing the camera removes that filter entirely. What is left is the part that was interesting in the first place — an actual conversation with a person whose life looks nothing like yours.
It also removes the single worst failure mode of camera-based platforms. Nobody can expose themselves to you over an audio-only connection.
What we do not collect
No video, ever. No real names, phone numbers, or dates of birth. No GPS location. No recordings — audio flows directly between the two browsers in a call and never passes through our servers, so there is nothing for us to store even if we wanted to.
How it stays civil
Text and images are screened automatically before they reach the other person. Blocking someone is one tap and lasts on that device. Reports are logged and reviewed. The service is strictly for adults over 18, and behaviour that targets minors results in an immediate permanent ban and referral to law enforcement.
None of this is a guarantee. Moderation catches a great deal and misses some things. If a conversation goes somewhere you do not want it to go, the next button is always there, and it needs no explanation.
Who it is for
People practising a language with a native speaker. People who find video calls exhausting. People who are awake at three in the morning and want to hear another human voice. Blind and low-vision users, for whom an audio-only interface is not an accommodation but simply the right shape. And anyone curious about what a stranger on the other side of the world has to say.
