## What is Secret Chat?

Hand your phone to anyone. They see a keypad — and no proof you talk to anyone at all.

Hush is built around a single idea: plausible deniability. There is no contact list. There is no conversation list. There is no master unlock. Every code opens one space — either a private conversation with someone, or a place holding nothing but your own photos and videos. Enter a code that opens nothing, and nothing visible happens, because there is nothing visible to reveal.

WHY HUSH EXISTS

For confidential conversations with a lawyer, therapist, doctor, or helpline.
For anyone who shares a device with a partner, family member, or housemate.
For photos and videos that are nobody else's business, on a phone other people pick up.
For keeping one specific relationship private — without giving up your phone.

This is invisibility, not encryption. Hush does not promise that the strongest adversary in the world cannot read your data. It promises that a person holding your phone cannot tell who you talk to, or whether there is anything there at all.

INSIDE THE APP

— Per-contact 6-digit codes you choose yourself
— Private spaces: your own photos and videos, behind a 6-digit code of their own
— Add from your photo library, or capture straight into a space
— A keypad-first home screen, with no list of chats or spaces anywhere
— Aliases (custom names visible only after the code is entered)
— Message expiry: 1 hour, 4 hours, 24 hours, or 48 hours
— Notification controls per contact: show the name, hide the name, or mute entirely
— Security alerts when someone tries a code that opens nothing
— Screen-capture protection, and everything closes the moment you switch apps
— Block, report, and per-contact controls
— A demo bot built in — open it any time with passcode 111111

NO RECOVERY, BY DESIGN

There is no "forgot passcode" option. Losing a contact's code means losing that conversation permanently. Losing a space's code means everything inside it is gone for good. This is intentional — it removes the social-engineering attack surface that recovery flows always create.

HUSH MESSENGER PLUS

Free covers the whole idea: hidden chats, and private spaces for your own photos and videos. Plus raises every limit — more spaces, far more items inside them, larger files, higher-volume image and video sharing, and the longer message expiry windows (24h, 48h). Either party in a chat being on Plus extends premium behavior to that conversation.

## Frequently asked questions about Secret Chat

### What is the main purpose of Secret Chat?

Secret Chat is designed for plausible deniability, allowing users to have confidential conversations and store private photos without leaving visible traces on their phone. It aims to make it impossible for someone casually looking at your phone to know who you're talking to or what content you have.

### How does Secret Chat ensure privacy?

Privacy is maintained through a keypad-first interface with no contact or conversation lists. Each contact and private space is protected by a unique 6-digit code chosen by the user. Features like message expiry and screen-capture protection further enhance security.

### Can I recover lost codes in Secret Chat?

No, Secret Chat is designed without a 'forgot passcode' option. Losing a contact's code means the conversation is permanently lost, and losing a space's code means its contents are gone forever. This is a deliberate security measure to prevent social-engineering attacks.

### What are the limitations of the free version of Secret Chat?

The free version of Secret Chat offers the core functionality of hidden chats and private spaces for photos and videos. However, it has limits on the number of spaces, items within them, file sizes, and the duration of message expiry windows.

### What benefits does Hush Messenger Plus offer?

Hush Messenger Plus removes limits on spaces, items, and file sizes. It also allows for larger volume image and video sharing and extends message expiry windows to 24 and 48 hours. If either party in a chat subscribes, premium features extend to that conversation.

### How do subscriptions work for Secret Chat?

Subscription payments are charged to your iTunes account upon purchase confirmation. Subscriptions automatically renew unless turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Plans include 1-Month and 1-Year options, both offering a 7-day free trial.

### What is the age rating for Secret Chat?

Secret Chat has an age rating of 4+. This indicates it is suitable for a wide range of users, though its privacy features are most relevant for older teens and adults.

### What devices is Secret Chat available on?

Based on the provided data, Secret Chat is currently supported on iPhone devices. Information regarding availability on other platforms like Android is not specified.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.3 — 2026-11-10

This update makes Hush quieter on your home screen.

• Your home screen now shows the app simply as "Hush".
• You can rate Hush from the menu, under Rate Hush.

### 1.4.2 — 2026-11-03

This update fixes problems some people had when opening Hush for the first time or joining through an invite.

• Fixed an issue where Hush could stay on its launch screen the first time it was opened. Hush now asks for notification permission after you finish setting up.
• An invite link now opens the invite even when Hush was closed.
• When you send or accept a one-tap invite, Hush shows you the six-digit code that opens the new chat, so you can open it again from the keypad.
• An invite you tap before you finish signing up is now kept until you are done.
• Get Started shows its progress, and asks you to try again if setup cannot finish.
• Smaller fixes, including a date label in Private Spaces at large text sizes.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-09-23

New guidance helps you add your first photo to a Private Space, then shows you how to return through the keypad and find it again. This update also improves reliability when adding photos and videos to Private Spaces.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-09-15

Voice, video, and more control in your private chats.

— Record and send voice messages, with waveform playback.
— Capture or choose short video messages, with private in-chat playback.
— Edit a sent text message for up to 15 minutes.
— Improved reliability when messages are pending or reconnecting.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-23

Private spaces are here.

Your photos and videos can now live behind their own 6-digit code, opened from the same keypad you already use for chats. Pick a code, and that space opens only when you enter it. Enter anything else and nothing happens — exactly like a chat that isn't there.

— Add photos and videos from your library, or capture them straight into a space
— Open, view and play them full screen
— Remove an item, or a whole space, whenever you want

Also in this release: the app no longer asks how you're finding it until you have actually used it, plus reliability fixes throughout.
