What is the minimum age to use Linga Chat?

16 and over

Linga Chat is intended for people aged 16 or older. Because it connects you with strangers around the world for open conversation, an age minimum helps keep the community appropriate and safe for everyone in it.

How the age gate works

When you sign up, Linga Chat asks for your date of birth. Anyone under the minimum age is not allowed to create an account. This age gate is a standard safety measure and part of how the app meets store age-rating requirements on the App Store and Google Play.

Why the limit matters

• Safer conversations — a shared minimum age keeps interactions age-appropriate.
• Store compliance — the rating and age gate match what the platforms require.
• Real accountability — combined with reporting, blocking and moderation, it helps keep the community respectful.

Staying safe at any age

Whatever your age, treat online contacts with care: keep personal details private until you trust someone, prefer in-app chat and calls over moving to other apps, and report anyone who breaks the rules. Linga Chat builds these safety tools in — reporting, blocking, moderation, photo verification and privacy controls — so members can focus on practicing their language rather than worrying. If you ever see an account that appears to be underage or breaking the rules, report it, and the moderation team will review it.
