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.
