What is Uhmegle?
Uhmegle is one of several Omegle clones that appeared after the original Omegle shut down in November 2023. It mimics Omegle closely: anonymous text and video chat with interest tags and a minimal interface.
Because it aims to replicate Omegle rather than improve on it, extra controls like gender preference, voice-only chat, and richer moderation are limited or missing.
