We just made your messages truly private. Here’s what that means.

Hey everyone,

We recently rolled out a big security upgrade: full end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for messaging.

We believe privacy isn’t some fancy add-on you should pay extra for. It’s a basic right. When you talk to someone on our platform, you should feel 100% confident that nobody else is listening in. Not us, not anyone.

Here’s a closer look at how it works, how your photos and files stay safe, and the one thing you really need to remember.

We can’t read your messages — even if we wanted to

Our new system uses something called AES-GCM 256-bit encryption. It’s the same kind of protection used by governments and militaries. But what does that actually mean for you?

Every time you send a message, it gets locked up tight inside your browser or app before it leaves your device. By the time the message hits our servers, it’s complete gibberish. Scrambled text that’s mathematically impossible to read without the key.

And here’s the important part: the keys that lock and unlock your messages never leave your device. We never see them. We never store them. That’s what “zero-knowledge” means. We literally have no way to peek at your conversations — or to hand them over to anyone who asks.

Photos, voice notes, videos — all protected too

Text is one thing, but what about the stuff you share? Photos, voice messages, videos?

We’ve extended the same encryption to cover all media. Before a file leaves your device, it’s encrypted from top to bottom. Even if someone got hold of our storage servers, all they’d find is a pile of scrambled data with no meaning. Only the person you’re chatting with can turn it back into the original picture or video.

The one thing you absolutely must not lose

Because we don’t have your keys, there’s no back door. That’s great for privacy — but it also means you’re in the driver’s seat.

Your passphrase is the master key to all your chats. If you lose it, we can’t recover your message history for you. We can’t reset it. We can’t bypass it. It’s gone, permanently. So please, keep your passphrase somewhere safe.

True privacy means true responsibility. We think that’s a fair trade.

Privacy isn’t an option.
