Private chat

One-to-one chat, on purpose

A direct thread is one person, not a group that can forward the conversation.

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.

Keep it one to one

Accept a friend and talk there. Do not create a group of two if what you want is a normal direct chat. Direct chats and groups are both free to message, and the direct chat is the smaller surface.

You still get replies, reactions, voice notes, files, read ticks, and a per-chat PIN.

The protection around it

Hide the chat, blur it, or lock the app. Set a disappearing timer if the history should not grow. Put keepers in the vault.

The security page lists the rest of the controls.

Help

Questions, answered.

A few quick answers before your first chat. The app has its own screens after you claim an account.

Can the other person forward a message?

Yes. Forward sends a message you already shared into another chat they choose. Do not send what you cannot stand to see moved.

Can I stop read ticks?

You can hide your last seen. Message info still shows delivery details on your own messages.
