Messaging
Private chats with the people you choose.
Message friends one to one, share photos, files and voice notes, and decide exactly what others can see about you.
- Only people who accept your friend request can message you.
- Strangers can find you only by your exact username, never by your real name.
- Location data is removed from photos you send.
No messages from strangers.
A chat starts with a friend request. Until you accept it, nobody can message you.
How it works
Search finds people by the start of their username. Your friends can also find you by name. Blocked and suspended accounts never appear in search.

Questions
Can anyone message me?
No. Only people whose friend request you have accepted can message you.
Can people find me by my name?
Only your friends can. Everyone else needs your username.
Are my messages end-to-end encrypted?
Not yet. End-to-end encryption for 1:1 chats is in final testing. Today, messages are encrypted while they travel and while they are stored on our servers.
What happens to the location in my photos?
It is removed when you send a photo.
Can I hide when I am online?
Yes. You can hide your online status, last seen, typing and read receipts, one by one or all at once.
