Mechanics

How a session is assembled

Anonymuch is a pairing product. This page describes a session: open chat, pair with one other person, talk in text or random video, then end. It does not describe a social graph because the product does not have one.

1. Open the chat route

From any page, Open chat loads /chat/. You are not asked for an email address or a display name. Age still applies: the service is for people 18 or older.

2. Pair

Matching is random among people who currently have chat open. Only two browsers are in the pair. There is no spectator list and no room directory to browse. The other person is a stranger: Anonymuch does not show a verified name, photo, or location.

3. Text

Typed messages stay in that pair. Treat anything the other person claims (age, city, job) as unverified. Do not send passwords, one-time codes, government IDs, or payment details. See safety.

4. Random video

The same pair can use a live camera session. Video is one-to-one, not a group room. A camera shows your face to a stranger; turn it off or skip if you do not want that. Details: random video chat.

5. End

Closing the tab, navigating away, or ending the session finishes your side. The product does not keep an inbox of that stranger. You cannot look them up tomorrow through Anonymuch. Another conversation is a new pair.

What this flow is not

It is not matchmaking by interest tags. It is not a customer-support queue. It is not a way to recover a lost conversation. For the difference between this and contact-based messengers, see random chat and the comparison on the home page.
