The is a video chat and social networking app that randomly matches strangers for a 15-second face-to-face video call. Like FaceTime roulette with Snapchat-like features, users can also text chat with other users, add “moments” and songs to their profile, describe their mood, and create group conversations. Created by teens, for teens, Monkey video chat describes itself as being like speed dating for friends. After pairing you with another user at random, the video chat starts as a 15-second face-to-face call to see if they “vibe with you.” If both users tap the Time button on the screen, the video chat will continue. Otherwise, they’re automatically reconnected to a new user for a new 15-second chat.

Apps similar to Monkey include Omegle and Chatroulette, but Monkey differs in that it's specifically targeted at Gen Z users. Developed and launched by five Californian teens, Monkey combines social media features that teens know and love—such as filters, stories, and card swiping—alongside profile data, including username, age, gender, and location.

Monkey is available for free download on the Google Play Store, and you can enjoy its essential features, including random chat and video calls, at no cost. While core features are accessible to all users for free, we also offer optional in-app purchases for premium features. These premium options are designed to enhance your social experience and provide more ways to connect and interact on Monkey.
