Azar, a random video chat app by Hyperconnect, has connected over 100 billion users globally and is now targeting the U.S. market. Unlike its predecessors, Azar focuses on safety with AI and human moderation to prevent inappropriate interactions. CEO Linda Kim emphasizes the app's appeal to Gen Z, offering spontaneous conversations and real-time connections. While not explicitly a dating app, it allows users to connect based on interests, even across language barriers. With heightened safety measures, Azar hopes to overcome the negative stigma of random chat apps in the U.S.
