To start searching, simply make an account and upload your photo for free, then allow the AI to run a search. If you find anyone who looks like you, you can send them a message to start chatting .
    • Twin Strangers only searches for lookalikes within their own site, meaning your doppelgänger will have to have an account on there, too. However, Twin Strangers has more than 9.5 million users, so the odds are high!
    • Twin Strangers is free to use the first 5 times. After that, it will ask you to sign up for a paid account.
