What is Thundr and why is it the best random chat platform

Thundr is a free random video chat platform that has encryption, AI moderation, and zero data-sharing. It keeps the “click Start and chat with strangers” thrill but removes the risks, making it widely regarded as the best random chat platform.

How does Thundr’s account system work?

Thundr uses a simple and secure sign-in system with Google or Apple. Once you’re signed in, your preferences and settings are saved, so you can use Thundr consistently across any device. If you ever need to sign out, you can do so in the Profile tab of your settings. From there, you can switch accounts by signing out and logging in with a different email address, or delete your account by requesting deletion in the Profile tab. Once requested, your account will be permanently removed within 30 days unless you sign back in with that account before the process is complete. We built this system to improve both safety and the overall quality of your experience on Thundr. We have also implemented industry standard security measures to protect your data and work hard to ensure that it remains private and secure.

How does Thundr’s free video chat let me chat with strangers safely?

Every live video or text session is end-to-end encrypted and protected by real-time AI that instantly blocks nudity, hate speech, and spam. You can report, skip, or mute any stranger with one tap, so you enjoy free video chat without compromising safety.

How can I connect with the Thundr community or share feedback?

We love hearing from our users. Join the conversation or drop feedback through Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/thundr/) or Discord (https://discord.com/invite/JZQ9Bc7Y4j).

Is Thundr a completely free video chat, or are there hidden costs?

Thundr is free for everyone. You can start chatting with strangers instantly at no cost. Boost is an optional paid feature that enhances your match experience for 30 minutes.

What safety measures make Thundr a trusted site?

Alongside encryption, Thundr uses live AI moderation, 18+ age gating, encrypted sessions, and instant reporting tools to ensure chats are respectful and secure. These layers are what position Thundr as the secure platform people ask for.

How does interest-based matching improve my random video chat experience?

Add tags like gaming, music, or language exchange, and our algorithm pairs you with strangers who share the same interests. Result: less awkward small talk, faster vibes.

Can I switch to text-only mode to chat with strangers anonymously?

Yes. You can either turn your camera off during video chat or start a text chat session. It’s flexible and great for low bandwidth or chill moods. If you choose to hide your face in video mode, you’ll be more likely matched with others who are also not showing their face.

Why might I be banned from Thundr, and how can I appeal?

Bans trigger when our system detects rule breaches - nudity, hate, spam, or under-18 use. If you believe a ban is an error, submit an appeal via the Support email; human moderators review all cases.

Which devices and speeds work best for free random video chat on Thundr?

Thundr runs smoothly on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge across desktop, Android, and iOS. Our low-latency codec delivers crisp random video chat on 4G and even patchy Wi-Fi, so you can chat with strangers from trains, cafés, or the sofa.
