Start with something you enjoy
Music, games, movies, or a hobby give you something concrete to discuss. Share a small detail of your own and follow up on the other person's answer instead of running through a list of questions.
Make friends online
Start with hello. Keep the conversations you enjoy.
A random conversation can become an ongoing connection. Meet someone through text chat, find something in common, and become friends when you both want to stay in touch.

Let the connection develop
You do not have to become friends in the first few messages. Notice whether you both ask questions and enjoy the exchange. A short pleasant chat is still worthwhile if neither person wants more.
Ask before the chat ends
If you both want to talk again, registered users can send and accept a friend request while connected. Random matching does not guarantee you will meet the same person after a skip.
Continue in direct messages
Mutual friends can exchange texts, photos, short videos, and voice notes. You can also invite a friend to a voice call, which starts when they accept. There is no need to exchange phone numbers.
Common questions
Can I make friends without using a camera?
Yes. Random matching begins with text, and you can keep a friendship in direct messages. Friend voice calls are optional.
Do both people need accounts?
Yes. Keeping a connection through friend requests and direct messages requires registered accounts and mutual acceptance.
Are direct conversations a permanent archive?
Do not treat ChatUNO as permanent storage. Message and media retention is limited, so important information should not depend on old chats remaining available.
