About Y99
We built a place where people can talk openly, stay anonymous, and connect without the usual friction.
Founded in 2024, Y99 started with a simple idea: talking to strangers should be easy, safe, and genuinely fun. No sign-up walls. No creepy data collection. Just real conversations between real people.
We believe the best connections happen when you least expect them — in a random room with someone you'd never meet otherwise. That's the spirit we built Y99 around.
Why we exist
Make connection effortless
Every click should lead somewhere. Every room should be one tap away. We strip away everything that stands between you and a good conversation.
Respect every voice
Whether you're from Tokyo or Toronto, a beginner or fluent in five languages, your perspective matters. The rooms reflect that.
Privacy is not negotiable
We don't sell data. We don't track behavior. We don't require personal info. Your chats are yours and yours alone.
