Control without losing randomness

Location filter chat applies after you pass safety checks. You can still go global with one toggle.

Filters help during local news, weather events, or city-specific questions.

We approximate location from network data, never your exact street address.

📍

Region select

Continent, country, or city cluster.

🌐

Global toggle

Turn filters off for surprise matches.

🔒

Coarse data only

We do not store precise GPS in text mode.

More about location filter chat

Location filter chat lets you steer matches toward a region before you enter the queue on Y99 Online. Use it for local event talk, weather banter, or dialect jokes that only land in certain places. Filters apply after safety checks, and you can toggle back to worldwide random with one switch. We use coarse network data, not your exact street address, when placing you in a regional bucket. Peak news nights and concert weekends are when country pickers shine brightest. Travelers pair filters with international rooms to ask grounded questions before landing. Remember that filters are a preference, not permission to harass; bans still hit misuse hard.
