An Omegle alternative for your phone

Why a browser version helps on a phone

• Nothing to install, so no app store, no storage used and no updates to keep up with.
• The same on iPhone and Android. If you can open a website, you can use it.
• Your account follows you. Sign in with Google on your phone today and on a laptop tomorrow.
• Some random chat apps aren't listed in every app store or country, which a browser doesn't care about.

What you need

• To be 18 or over. kynq is for adults only and asks for your date of birth.
• A Google account to sign in with.
• A recent version of your phone's browser.
• Permission for the browser to use your camera and microphone when it asks.
• A decent connection. Wi-Fi is best, but mobile data works.

Start in four steps

• Open kynq.in in your phone's browser and tap Start chatting.
• Sign in with Google and confirm your date of birth and phone number.
• Allow the camera and microphone when your browser asks.
• Tap to start matching. You'll be paired with someone else in India, and you can tap Next person whenever you like.

Getting a better call on mobile

• Use Wi-Fi if you can. Video calls use a lot more data than texting, and a weak signal makes the picture freeze.
• Prop your phone up or hold it steady, with the camera around eye level.
• Face a window or a lamp rather than sitting with a bright light behind you.
• Use earphones if you have them. They cut echo and keep your side of the call more private.
• Close other apps that use the camera or microphone. If your camera won't start, check the site's permissions in your browser settings.

What you give up compared with an app

kynq doesn't have a dedicated app yet. That means no app icon unless you add the site to your home screen as a shortcut through your browser, and it's still a website, so it needs the browser open to work.
