Now with Cross Platform Video Chat. Get over the clouds with FlyTexting for real privacy. Totally anonymous, all you need is a username. No file access or phone book permissions required. Have a peer to peer direct text connection on a platform that can't read your messages. FlyTexting uses experimental open source tech that provides point to point encryption by creating a peer to peer connection. Your messages do not go though our servers and aren't unencrypted texts routed through the phone network. With Real Time Texting, you can see what each other are typing in real time. This is intended to make for a more personal and conversation like experience. FlyTexting offers no plugins for bots and has a small user base. We feel this real time experience is the answer many are looking for to counter AI and phony spam messages. This is for only your closest and most personal connections. If you are looking for an alternative to big tech or phone companies, look no further. We are an independent company without funding, so no one is pulling our strings or trying to sell your data to get a return on investment. You no longer have to be annoyed watching and waiting for that bubble to turn into actual text. You can get a feel for how fast the other person is typing etc like you are in the same room.
