The only communication app you will ever need. 100% secure. Been using for cca 5 years, before was called differently.

What is the encryption algorithm? It is NOT open source. Per their terms of service, you are not allowed to reverse engineer their software, as it is proprietary. Never trust encryption algorithm that isn't open source!! Also the developer based in 🇨🇳 China. Hmmm...

It is a messaging app but the only way it works is if someone else has the app.
