About TalkRadius
TalkRadius is the simplest way to talk to the people around you. Open the app, tap GO LIVE, and you'll appear on a live map alongside everyone else within range. Tap any pin to start a real-time voice call. No contacts, no phone numbers, no usernames, just proximity. KEY FEATURES • Live proximity map — see who's nearby in real time • One-tap voice calls — peer-to-peer, no dialing • End-to-end encrypted audio — our servers never hear your conversation • Zero account setup — open and go • Block & mute — full control over who can reach you • Background audio — your call keeps going when you lock the phone PRIVACY FIRST Audio is end-to-end encrypted (DTLS-SRTP) and routed peer-to-peer between phones. Your location is only used to match you with nearby people; it is never stored. Each session uses a fresh ephemeral ID so you can't be tracked across sessions. USE CASES • Coordinating with friends at festivals, beaches, or stadiums • Talking to other drivers on long trips • Meeting people in your neighborhood • Quick voice chat when typing would slow you down TalkRadius is free, ad-free, and account-free. Read our privacy policy at talkradius.com/privacy. Note: Real-time voice with strangers is unmoderated. Use the block feature to control your experience. Rated 17+.
