Matching Algorithm Explained
Our random matching system is designed to give everyone an equal chance to connect. Here's how it works:
- Random Selection: When you click "Start," our system randomly selects another user who is currently online and looking to chat.
- Availability-Based: Matching is primarily based on who's available at that moment. During peak times, matches happen almost instantly.
- Preference Filters: If you've set preferences (language, interests), we try to match you with compatible users first, but still maintain randomness.
- Fair Distribution: Our algorithm prevents the same users from being matched repeatedly, ensuring fresh conversations.
