Friendly chat for people 50 and over. Over 50 Chat is for people aged 50 and over. Pick a chat name, answer two quick questions and you're in. There's no email, no download and nothing to pay.
All users must be 18 or older and agree to our Terms of Use. Suspected underage users are removed. Report anything that breaks the rules using the tools in the chat.
Our over 50 chat rooms are a friendly place for people in their fifties, sixties, seventies and beyond to talk. Whether it's a quick hello over morning coffee or a long chat on a quiet evening, you'll find people who are glad to have some company and happy to listen.
Lots of people here are new to chat rooms, and that's absolutely fine. Just type hello and say it's your first visit. Someone will usually explain how things work: how to reply to a person, how to open a private chat and how to block anyone you don't want to talk to. You can't break anything, so don't be shy about trying.
This room is often busy during the day as well as in the evening, because many regulars are retired or work part time. Mornings and early afternoons are a good time to find a relaxed chat with plenty of familiar faces.
Making new friends gets harder as we get older, especially after retirement, a move or losing a partner. Many regulars say the room has become part of their daily routine and that the people they chat with feel like friends. Creating a free account keeps your chat name so your friends can always find you.
Sadly, scammers sometimes target older people online. Never send money, gift cards or bank details to someone you have only met in a chat, even if they seem kind and their story sounds urgent. Don't click links from people you don't know, and never share passwords. If someone asks for money, stop replying and report them.
If anything worries you, talk to a family member or friend you trust. Our safety tips page has more advice in plain language.
The over 40 room has a similar relaxed feel, and Make Friends is a lovely place to meet people of all ages.
