Before You Ask — the Short Version
Most questions about Joingy boil down to three things: what it costs, what it asks of you, and who is on the other side. The short version: Joingy is free to start, your first match is free, and there is no sign-up to try. It asks for nothing but a click. And on the other side there is always a real person, matched with you at random, somewhere in the world.
The longer answers below are grouped the way people usually think: getting started, using the platform day to day, and trust. If your question is about the mechanics of a session — skipping, switching formats, what matching does — the how Joingy works page walks through it step by step. If it is about staying comfortable, the video chat safety guide is the better read.
Didn't Find Your Question?
This page covers what newcomers ask most, but it is not the whole help library. Longer, more opinionated answers live on the Joingy blog — including an honest look at whether Joingy is safe and a comparison of free random chat apps this year. Legal details, from data handling to the rules of the service, are in the privacy policy and terms of service.
And if none of those pages settles it, write to the team at support[at]joingy.online — the contact page explains what to include for a fast answer. A real person reads every message. Or skip the reading entirely: your first match is free, and one live conversation explains Joingy better than any FAQ ever could.

How does matching work?
Joingy matching pairs you with someone who is online at the same moment, avoids people you just skipped, and favours users who stay for real conversations. It stays random on purpose — the surprise is the point. How Joingy works →
Using Joingy
What is the difference between text chat and video chat?
Both use the same instant matching. Video chat is face to face and finds its rhythm fast; text chat is camera-free and lower pressure. Many people start in text and switch to video when the conversation warms up. Try random text chat →
Can I use Joingy on mobile?
Yes. Joingy runs entirely in your phone's browser — no app download, nothing to update. The same matching, controls, and chat modes work on mobile and desktop. Random video chat on any device →
How do I skip to the next person?
Tap the Next button in the chat controls. Skipping is instant and anonymous, and there is no limit — keep going until a conversation clicks. Try chat roulette mode →
Who will I meet on Joingy?
Real people from around the world — students, travellers, night owls, language learners. Every match is a stranger online right now, which is what keeps stranger chat interesting. About stranger chat →
Trust & Support
Is Joingy safe?

What information do other users see about me?
Almost nothing. You appear as a stranger, not a profile — no public bio, follower list, or location. What you share in conversation is entirely your choice. Read the privacy policy →
