Guide
Set up a private chat without a long install guide
Five minutes is enough for a friend thread. The extra locks take another minute when the phone is shared.
In the app
A private chat, with the locks.
- A username instead of your phone number.
- App lock, a hidden list, and a decoy PIN.
- A vault for files, away from the gallery.
- Friend chats and groups are free.

If the phone is shared
Add the app-lock PIN before you put the phone down. Add a hidden PIN only if this thread should leave the list. Both have help pages with the steps.

Questions, answered.
A few quick answers before your first chat. The app has its own screens after you claim an account.
Do I need the website chat for this?
No. The website chat is for meeting someone new. A friend request is the private setup.
What is the one thing people skip?
The app lock, and then they are surprised that opening the icon shows the list.
