## What is VARO Private Messenger?

VARO is a private messenger for people who believe their conversations are nobody's business but their own.

Your messages are end-to-end encrypted on your device and can only be read by the contact you connect with. No accounts. No phone number. No cloud — nothing is stored on a server.

HOW IT WORKS
• Connect with someone through a one-time invite link.
• Write a private message and choose a photo.
• VARO encrypts your message and embeds it inside the photo.
• Share it through the apps you already use — only your connected contact can open and read it.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
• End-to-end encryption using the same proven, standard algorithms trusted messengers rely on.
• Your messages, keys and contacts never leave your device.
• No accounts, no tracking, no ads.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.26 — 2026-08-11

Much faster when picking a photo to send — large images no longer slow the app down. Same image quality, less waiting.

### 1.0.25 — 2026-07-26

Improved privacy: VARO now never reads your clipboard automatically — pasting an invitation is always your explicit choice. Plus stability improvements.

### 1.0.24 — 2026-07-23

Crystal clear now: send messages no one can see — hidden inside an ordinary photo, readable only by your contact. Not even we can read them. Plus clearer wording throughout the app.

### 1.0.23 — 2026-07-21

Connecting is now radically simpler: invitations open the app directly, survive installation, and your contact is set up with zero typing. Choose a nickname (or roll a random one) — no real names needed. Plus: 30 free messages, honest status updates while you wait, and clearer language throughout.

### 1.0.22 — 2026-07-19

Connecting is now radically simpler: invitations open the app directly, survive installation, and your contact is set up with zero typing. Choose a nickname (or roll a random one) — no real names needed. Plus: 30 free messages, honest status updates while you wait, and clearer language throughout.
