The app learns your address book and tells you who else joined. Those people also learn you joined, which you did not individually approve.
Guide
Username chat versus contact sync
Sync is convenient the first day and leaky every day after. A username is the slower, smaller door.
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.

Username
You share a name with one person. They request. You accept. Nobody else is notified that you exist.

Help
Questions, answered.
A few quick answers before your first chat. The app has its own screens after you claim an account.
Can I import contacts later?
That is not a Kissend feature.
What if I want a group of five?
Create the group and invite those five. Do not upload the other five hundred.
