Voice, still no camera
Wakie says plainly it is not a video chat app – conversations are voice, with voice or text chats in topic clubs.

Make text chat fun
- Open with a question, not “hi” – people skip blank openers.
- Add interests where the site supports them (Chitchat and Joingy do).
- Move on quickly if the vibe is off; random chat is built for that.
