## What is Mist DM?

Mist DM is a private messenger for the few people you choose.

Keep the connection. Let the conversation vanish like mist.

What you can do
• Connect with an invite link or QR code. A conversation starts only after both of you approve.
• Messages and photos are encrypted on your iPhone before they are sent. The server cannot read them.
• Voice calls connect directly between phones.
• When a conversation ends, its messages are deleted from both iPhones. They are not included in iCloud or computer backups.
• No real name, phone number, or email is required. Only a display name and an icon for the other person.

What stays
The connection itself stays, so you can talk again later. Your display name and icon stay so the other person can recognize you. If the other person is offline, encrypted data may be held for up to 24 hours and is deleted once it is delivered. It is also deleted when the conversation ends or expires.

Free and one-time purchase
One connection is free. Unlimited Connections is a one-time purchase that adds as many connections as you want. Restore it from your Apple purchase history.
