Missing Omegle? Try a kinder way to talk
Omegle, the well known site for random chats with strangers, closed in November 2023. Today omegle.com shows a different service under the same name: an 18+ live social app with a login, run by another company. Many people still want what was good about the original: talking to someone new, with no account and no history. Zuzu keeps that, and leaves out the chaos.
How Zuzu Club is different
- Made for kind conversations, not random or dating chat.
- You choose a role: Vent to be heard, or Listen to hear someone.
- No camera, no video, no pressure. Just words, with photos or voice notes if you choose.
- Report and Block in every chat, plus gentle crisis support.
- Still no account and still free, with no ads getting in the way.
- Clicked with someone? On Omegle they were gone for good. On Zuzu, if you both tap Meet Again, you can find each other again.
More than chat
Not in the mood to talk? Let a worry go in Let Go, or read and share feelings in the Sky of Thoughts. No one else needs to be there. And if no one is around to chat, the Zuzu AI Companion keeps you company, always labeled as AI.
Stay safe
Never share your real name, address or contact details with a stranger. If someone makes you uncomfortable, block them and the chat ends right away.

Before you switch from Omegle
Is Zuzu Club a safe Omegle alternative?
Zuzu Club is built to be gentle: no names, no profiles, Report and Block in every chat, and free helplines one tap away. It is young (it opened in 2026) and run by one person, and every report reaches the maker right away. The rules are public in Privacy & Terms and Community Safety. Never share your real name or contact details with a stranger.
Are my chats on Zuzu Club saved or read?
No. Chats with a person are not saved and are not read by Zuzu, by a person or by AI. If you report someone, Zuzu keeps the reason, the two temporary names, the time and the approximate country for 90 days, never the messages.
Are the listeners on Zuzu Club trained?
Listeners on Zuzu Club are kind people who chose to listen, and might not always be counselors or therapists. Every listener is pointed to the free Listener guide, with example chats, a practice round and what to do when a chat gets heavy, so anyone can learn to listen well at their own pace. If you want trained or professional help, a service with trained listeners or a licensed therapist may suit you better.
