AnyTalk is taking care about your convenience and privacy, so we sync chats history across your devices, but don’t store it on our servers. Your chats history is yours and no one else can read it.
For secure chats we use encryption keys which our servers don’t know about, so just you and your interlocutor will read encrypted conversation, there is no place for the man in the middle. Also you can make encrypted group chats and sync secure chats history across all your devices. This is secure and nice.

You can write to people, who are in your phone contacts book and use AnyTalk. On top of that you can connect additional channels and write to people who use AnyTalk and your Facebook friends, or Twitter followers, or VK friends, or Gmail contacts. And anytime you can find people to chat with by using AnyTalk ID. More ways to find friends will come with updates! You can also write to whoever sends you a message and to people with whom you are in the same group chat, even if you don't know them.

After you give AnyTalk rights to look at your phone address book, or connect any social network, we look for people who use AnyTalk and show them at the top of your Contacts. As soon as we respect your privacy, all contacts from your mobile device are hashed before our server get them, so all your contacts data are unreadable for us or hackers, but based on hash we still can find your friends who use AnyTalk and get you in touch with them.

Under the AnyTalk contacts list there are list of contacts who don’t use AnyTalk yet. You can invite them based on the way this contact came from. I.e. you can invite contact with phone number by SMS, Facebook friend by FB request, Gmail contact by email and so on.

One tick means message successfully send from your device and delivered to recipient device. Your recipient is notified that he has new message, and need to open AnyTalk to read it. Two ticks means that your message was read, so your recipient opened AnyTalk and opened the conversation that had the message.

Grey clock icon means your message is in process of sending from device. If you don’t have internet connection and message send is failed, there will be red exclamation mark next to such message.

We are continuously working to improve the security of our protocol and clients. Right now we are using SSL pinning and don’t support such weak solutions as export ciphers, null ciphers, or SSLv2.

For such situations you can enable end-to-end encryption for both new or existing chats. Encrypted chats leave no trace on our servers and don’t allow forwarding. Our servers even don’t know anything about encryption key, so you will avoid man-in-the-middle attack. Encryption key generates on device of user who initiate chat encryption and must be send to another chat participant by another channel than AnyTalk (voice call, SMS, email, or by private meeting).

Anyone who claims that AnyTalk messages can be deciphered is welcome to prove that claim and write us about results at security@anytalkapp.com If you actually find a loophole and will prove it, we’ll be happy to offer you a full-time job at our team.

Encrypted chats will help you when it comes to data transfer and secure communication. But if someone get physical access to your mobile device — let’s say your friend, or mother, or girlfriend — we've got you covered with hidden chats! Such chats protected by password you will set and hidden from both chat and contact lists.

Of course, there are our TOS and Privacy Policy.

After enabling chat encryption, you start using end-to-end encryption, so all following messages will be encrypted by special key. This means only you and the recipient can read those messages — nobody else can decipher them. We suggest to send encryption key by other channels than AnyTalk, so you will be sure even we don’t have access to your secrets. Plus, this way you will exclude man-in-the-middle attack.

You can get encryption key for particular chat by going to user’s profile from Contacts list or from existing chat by tapping on avatar at top-right corner. Tap “Get Encryption key” button and look at instructions on the screen. You will get set of letters and numbers which you need to send to your interlocutor or all members of group.

When encryption is enabled, all outgoing messages will be encrypted by special key and only participants who got this key can read conversation. The key generates on device of user who initiate encryption and must be sent to other chat participant by another channel than AnyTalk (voice call, SMS, email, or by meeting in person). This way our servers knows nothing about your encryption key, plus you will avoid any possibility of man-in-the-middle attack.

This means you another device don’t have encryption key for this chat yet. As soon as encryption key generates on device of user who initiate encryption, you need to move it to your other devices manually. We don’t do it using our servers, because if you need to be 100% sure in this secure channel, you don’t need to trust anyone, even us.

You can send key from first device to your another device using email or open encrypted chat from your second device and tap on [SOME] button. Now you need to fill encryption key from keyboard or just scan QR-code from first device using second one.

As soon as you delete AnyTalk app and install it again, your device will no longer have keys for encrypted chats. To read encrypted history you need to fill the key again. You can get it from your another device, or ask your interlocutor, and even fill it manually if you save text- or QR-code somewhere.

You can make any chat hidden and it will disappear from recent chats list as well as user whom you chats with will disappear from your contacts list. Your other devices will no longer receive chat history for hidden chat, so it will be bounded with device you hide it from. Each time you quit AnyTalk app or lock screen, this chat will be hidden from prying eyes and only you can see it filling password you set.

To make chat hidden, you must tap eye icon in top-tight corner inside particular chat and set hidden chat switch to on. You will be asked to set password for this chat. Choose a password wisely and remember it, because it is the only way to unhide chat in the future!

Go to chats list and tap at eye icon. You will be asked to fill password. After filling password and tapping OK, you will see hidden chats, if you have such ones.

The beauty of hidden chats that they are completely invisible. There is no indication that you have hidden chats and they don’t have special marks. When you fill password from chats list to show hidden chats — we always accept the password, even if there is no hidden chats associated with it. So if someone ask you to fill password to know do you have hidden chats to not — you can just fill wrong password and nothing will happen. Look of the app for user without hidden chats at all and user with lots of them will be the same until you fill right password.

To not expose that you have hidden chats, we don’t show notifications for it, because they can tell that you have secret conversation. At the other hand, when your friend from hidden chat send you a message, we show you notification about message from last usual chat that you already seen. So if you will have second notification for message you already seen — you have something new in hidden chat!

No, this is a private feature just for your usage, so no one knows that chat is hidden on your device — even your friend.

After hiding chat, we delete all trace of your friendship with hidden user, but you can see him among group chats members, with name that he set in his profile (it may differ from name that you set for this contact). If you or someone else try to open 1-1 chat with such user from your device, hidden user will be added as your contact again, but hidden chat history will be deleted and he become regular user.

To permanently unhide chat you need go to chats list screen and fill password to show hidden chats. Now enter particular hidden chat, tap eye icon and set hidden chat switch to off.

Sometimes you are in comfortable environment and can chat with hidden users more freely than usual. To not fill password for hidden chats each time you quit app and return to it again, you can set delay before hiding.

For iOS you can enable the emoji keyboard in device‘s Settings > General > Keyboard > Add New Keyboard > Emoji. Then switch to that keyboard whenever you’re inside chat.
For Android we enable emoji keyboard by default.

You will see blue dot from the left side of chats with unread messages. Inside particular chat last unread message will have blue dot next to it, which became empty (read) after 2 seconds you saw it. If you don’t want to answer right now, but want to remind yourself about this conversation, you can tap this empty dot and set unread status to last message, so whole conversation will be marked as unread in recent chats list.

Inside chat under the conversation title you will see dots which represents number of unread chats. You can swipe left or right to move from one unread chat to another. This unread counter will disappear as soon as you read all conversations and go back to recent chats screen.
