How location affects your random video chat matches.

How Random Matching Works

Pomegle uses random matching, which means you're connected with whoever is available at that moment, regardless of location. The platform doesn't filter by geographic location - you can be matched with someone from anywhere in the world.

The random nature means you might connect with someone nearby or someone thousands of miles away - it's all part of the random experience.

Why You Might See More Nearby Users

If you notice more connections with people nearby, it could be because:

  • More people in your time zone are active at that time
  • Connection optimization favors closer users for better quality
  • Random chance - sometimes you'll get a string of nearby matches
  • Regional activity patterns vary throughout the day

Getting Worldwide Connections

To connect with people from around the world, just keep chatting! The random nature means you'll eventually match with people from different countries, time zones, and continents. Every skip gives you another chance for a worldwide connection.

FAQ

Why is Pomegle showing nearby users instead of worldwide?

Pomegle uses random matching that can connect you with anyone globally. If you're seeing more nearby users, it may be due to connection optimization or the time of day when people in your region are most active. You can always skip and be matched with someone else, potentially from anywhere in the world.

Can I control where my matches come from on random chat?

Most random video chat platforms, including Pomegle, use random matching without location filters. You're matched with whoever is available at that moment, which could be from anywhere in the world. Location preferences aren't typically available on random chat platforms.
