## What is Freedom Chat?

Freedom Chat was built for those who demand absolute privacy and control over their digital lives—free from big tech surveillance and data exploitation.

Texts And Voice Messages: Quickly and conveniently send secure text messages. If you don’t have the time to type, voice messages can lend a hand.

Full Customization: Choose your color, pick your font size, and enable dark mode. 

Unsend Messages: Want to unsend a message entirely? You can! And with no storage of messages on our servers, it’s like it was never there.

Edit Messages: Accidentally mistyped? Sent the wrong information? Easily edit your messages even after you’ve already sent them.

"Self-Destructing" Messages: Send messages that are automatically and conveniently deleted from the recipient’s device after a specified period of time.

Share GIFs, Videos, and Images: All media sent is end-to-end encrypted.

React to Messages with Any Emoji: We understand sometimes words just aren’t needed. 

Screenshot Alerts: Receive an alert each time a member in a chat attempts a screenshot. 

Save Media: Prevent individuals from saving images and videos to their device without your permission.

Freedom Chat Channels 

Freedom Chat channels are your personalized, private news feed. Subscribe to your favorite brands and influencers directly within Freedom Chat to stay updated on everything you care about. Your subscriptions and reactions are completely private—no one can see the channels you follow or your interactions with posts.

Privacy & Security

End-to-End Encryption: Every message sent is end-to-end encrypted, meaning that it can only be read by its intended recipient.

No Storage of Messages on The Server: Once a message is successfully delivered to its intended recipient it is deleted from our servers.

Screenshot Protect: Enable this revolutionary feature to prevent any member within a chat from taking a screenshot. Protect your sensitive information with Screenshot Protect. 

QRCode Verification: To verify the security of end-to-end encryption in any chat, you can compare your code with the one on your contact’s device. You can also scan the QR code to compare automatically. 

No Commercial Use of User Data: The selling of user data is at an all-time high. From the content of your conversations to the locations you visit to your shopping habits and more, companies will sell any amount of information they can get their hands on. Freedom Chat is financed by paid memberships not by selling user data. 

Freedom Chat Premium is an optional subscription service that unlocks exclusive features. Unlike other messaging platforms, our business model is based on paid membership plans—rather than exploiting user data.

### 2/5 — The Jury is Out

*2026-01-27, version 4.30*

Someone invited me to join this “new” chat/text system.  I joined on my iPad, then was immediately solicited to “upgrade” to premium for $52.99/yr, so I did this morning.  An hour or so later, I still am not seeing the upgrade although the charge has successfully posted to my cc.  So I messaged the company about it.  Waiting for a response.  Meanwhile, I downloaded the app to my iPhone and tried to sign in.  It asks for my phone number, the pin that I created and then is supposed to send a code to complete the sign in.  I did this 3 or 4 times and am STILL waiting for any code sent in to cyber space.  (In other words, the log in goes no where since no code to “verify” my identity ever arrives).  Clearly this is not ready for public use.  I will revise my review if and when this is resolved.  Meanwhile, I am giving them 24 hours to fix the issues or refund my money.  Hoping for the best but not holding my breath.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.33 — 2026-08-26

This update introduces a major upgrade to Freedom Chat’s security infrastructure, designed to strengthen the protection of your conversations today and into the future.

• AES-256 Encryption: Industry-leading encryption designed to remain highly secure as computing capabilities advance.

• Quantum-Resistant Security: New protections incorporating NIST standards designed to help safeguard against emerging quantum-computing threats.

• Forward & Backward Secrecy: Enhanced key protection helps ensure that if an individual encryption key is ever compromised, it cannot be used to unlock your complete conversation history or provide continued access to future messages.

• Automatic Key Rotation: Encryption keys are refreshed regularly to further limit exposure and strengthen long-term protection.

• Improved Performance: Faster decryption and improved loading performance for images and videos.

This upgrade required us to replace our underlying encryption library. As a result, conversations secured using the previous encryption system cannot be carried over and will no longer be available.

We recognize the inconvenience this may cause. This transition provides Freedom Chat with a stronger, more resilient security foundation built to protect your communications as AI, cybersecurity threats, and computing technologies continue to evolve.

### 4.32 — 2026-08-14

Pop-up modal to alert users to update their Freedom Chat app.

### 4.30 — 2025-12-31

• Multiple bug fixes
• Several aesthetic improvements
• Dark mode is now controlled by your device’s system settings rather than within the app
• Improved link previews

Thank you for being a Freedom Chat user. Please send any feedback to feedback@freedomchat.com

### 4.29 — 2025-12-07

A critical reset: A recent backend update inadvertently exposed user PINs in a system response. No messages were ever at risk, and because Freedom Chat does not support linked devices, your conversations were never accessible; however, we’ve reset all user PINs to ensure your account stays secure. Your privacy remains our top priority. 

• A few aesthetic updates to make resetting your PIN easier 

• One logic improvement to simplify setting your PIN

Thank you for being a Freedom Chat user.
