A PIN does nothing for a person who can see the screen while it is unlocked.
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.

Blur previews so a glance at the list is boring. Sit with your back to a wall in public. The app lock closes the app if you pocket the phone and the tab hides.

Help
Questions, answered.
A few quick answers before your first chat. The app has its own screens after you claim an account.
Does blur hide a name?
It hides the preview of the last message. The name can still show on an ordinary row. Use the hidden list if the name itself matters.
Is there a screenshot alert?
No.
