App snapshot
Cuff: Video Chat Make Friends is a free social networking app for iPhone created by Ali Mohammadian. It focuses on bringing people together from different countries through brief live video conversations and quick matches.
How matching and conversations work
When you sign up, the app asks for basic preferences such as the gender(s) you want to meet and topics or interests you enjoy. You can indicate when you’re available, and once a match is found the app starts a timed video call (two minutes by default). If both participants want to continue the connection, the app provides a way to exchange contact options and keep the conversation going.
Notable features
- Connects users across the globe for live video introductions
- Two-minute timed video chats to keep interactions low-pressure
- Option to set your available times so matches occur when you’re free
- Intuitive, beginner-friendly interface for easy navigation
- Free to download and use with standard app-store access
- Clear privacy policy and terms that must be accepted before use
Privacy, safety and rules
Cuff requires users to review and accept its privacy policy and terms of service before using the platform. The app includes standard safeguards for user data and guidelines for appropriate behavior during video interactions — review these documents to understand how your information is handled and what conduct is expected.
Alternative to consider
If you want another option for shared media and group interactions, try Rave — Watch Party (available for free). It focuses more on synchronized viewing and group chats rather than one-on-one video introductions.
