Register with your name, email, and a password, and confirm that you are 18 and that you accept the terms. An email code verifies the account. You can also sign in with Google. A guest on the website can claim an account and bring the open text chat and the token balance with them.
Your username can change once every 24 hours. The previous name is held until that window ends, so someone else cannot take it in the gap.
Talk, then lock it
Open a friend from search, or create a group. Send text, emoji, a GIF, a photo, a video, a voice note, or a file. A single tick means sent. A double tick means read. You can hide your last seen.
Turn on the app lock if the phone is shared. Move a sensitive chat behind the hidden PIN. Set messages to disappear, or mark one photo as view-once. Files you want to keep can go into the vault instead of the phone gallery.
