How FaceFlow works, from tap to hello

Here is everything that happens on FaceFlow in order: arriving as a guest, finding a stranger with Start match or Who's online, the controls inside a chat, following people you like, and how free matches and coins fit together.

What is the quickest way to start?

Tap Start match and allow your camera. You will be talking to someone new within seconds. Camera shy? Pick voice or text instead.

01

arriving

You are a guest from the first second

When you open faceflow.cam, a guest session is created in the background. There is no form, no email check and no password. You can start chatting right away, and nothing about you is public until you choose to add a name or photo.

If you later want your follows, coins and VIP to carry over to another phone or computer, you can link a sign-in. It is optional, and plenty of people never bother.

02

finding someone

Two ways to meet a stranger

FaceFlow gives you a random path and a choose-for-yourself path. Both end in the same private one-on-one chat.

  1. 01

    Start match

    The random way. FaceFlow pairs you with the next person who is free, usually within seconds.

  2. 02

    Who's online

    The browsing way. Scroll through people who are around right now and start a chat with someone you like the look of.

03

inside a chat

Five controls worth knowing

A chat screen looks busy for about five seconds. After that, these are the only controls that matter:

FaceFlow chat controls
ButtonWhat it does
NextEnds this chat and finds someone new
Camera / micSwitches between video, voice and text
TranslateTurns a typed message into your language
FollowSaves this person so you can find them again
Report / blockFlags rule breakers and stops them reaching you
04

keeping in touch

Follow the people you click with

Every so often a random match turns into someone you would like to hear from again. Tap follow and they are saved to your list. When they are online, you can find them there instead of hoping the random match brings them back.

05

free matches and coins

How the free part works

Your first visit comes with some free matches. The Reward Center sits above the Start match button and releases extra free matches throughout the day while you are online. Once your free matches are used, extra ones use coins. Everything is laid out on is FaceFlow free.

06

staying comfortable

Leave whenever you want

There is no penalty for tapping next, and no limit on how picky you can be. If someone breaks the rules, report and block them. More detail is on is FaceFlow safe and in our safety tips.

How FaceFlow works: questions

How do I use FaceFlow?

Open faceflow.cam, tap Start match and allow your camera and microphone. A stranger joins you in a private chat. Tap next to meet someone else.

Do I have to sign up for FaceFlow?

No. You start as a guest automatically. Linking a sign-in later is optional.

How do I find someone I talked to before?

Follow them during the chat. They are then saved to your list so you can reach them again.

Can I choose who I talk to?

Yes. Use Who's online to browse people who are around right now, or use Start match for a random pairing.

How does translation work?

In the text chat, tap translate on a message and it appears in your language.

What is the Reward Center?

It sits at the top of Start match and gives out free matches based on your time online, several times a day.
