How do you get started?
Getting started takes less than a minute: no form, no download, no card. These are the questions people ask before their very first match.
What do I need before my first chat?
A phone or computer with a modern browser and a connection. For voice you also need a working microphone. There’s no account to create and nothing to install first.
Do I have to sign up?
No. Whisperly lets you in as a guest the moment the page loads, so you can choose a mode and start a match straight away. A display name and photo are optional extras.
Which mode should I try first?
If you can talk out loud, try Audio; a voice carries more than you’d think. If the house is asleep or you feel shy, start with Text and switch another night.
Is there a time limit on a call?
Calls aren’t open-ended. A notice in the call tells you before billing starts; stay past it and the call uses coins by how long it lasts. Either of you can end it at any point.
Can I pick a country or language for random matches?
Random matches are random. To choose by country or language, open Who’s online instead, filter the list, and message the person you’d like to talk to.
Who will I be matched with?
Someone random who is online at the same moment. It could be a person in your own city or one on the other side of the world, waking up as you wind down.
