Everything you need to know about AbsurdChat — how it works, how we protect your privacy, and how to stay safe.
AbsurdChat is a free, anonymous real-time chat platform that connects you instantly with a random stranger anywhere in the world. No account required — just pick a nickname and start talking. When the conversation ends, it's gone. Think of it as the modern, privacy-focused successor to early anonymous chat platforms.
No. AbsurdChat works without any registration. You don't need an email address, phone number, or password to start chatting. You're assigned a random session ID automatically. Optionally, you can link a Google account to unlock features like the friends list and private messaging history.
Anonymous chat messages are not retained after a session ends. Once you or your chat partner disconnects, the conversation is gone. We do retain connection metadata (such as timestamps and IP addresses) for up to 12 months for security, abuse prevention, and legal compliance — but not the content of your conversations. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
