How Chatkode random chat matching works

Start with a temporary name

Open random chat in your browser and pick a temporary name and gender. No phone number is required. That light identity is enough to Match into a private encrypted 1:1 thread.

You are not building a dating profile. You are choosing how you appear for this session of private random chat.

Match into a private 1:1 thread

When you Match, Chatkode connects you with another person in an end-to-end encrypted one-to-one conversation. It is a private room for two — not a public lobby, feed, or group channel.

Preferences can shape who you are paired with, but the product job stays the same: a calm encrypted chat, not romance theater.

Skip when it is not a fit

Skip ends the current match so you can find someone else. It is a normal control, not a social failure. Good random chat products make leaving as easy as starting.

Use Block and Report if someone harasses you. Skip is for “not this conversation”; safety tools are for harm.

Claim within 24 hours to keep chats

Temporary accounts expire in 24 hours unless claimed. Claim early if you care about keeping media and conversations from this session under the same user ID.

Friends and later reconnects are secondary. The primary story remains random Match into private encrypted chat.

What matching is not

Chatkode matching is not a dating app swipe deck and not a chaotic public roulette room with an audience. It is private 1:1 browser chat with Match and Skip.

Keep personal details, OTPs, and payment info out of first messages — the same common-sense rules that apply anywhere you meet strangers online.
