Every message on PHANTOM is end-to-end encrypted — protected by post-quantum cryptography that even tomorrow's quantum computers can't break. Only you and the person you're writing to can ever read what's sent. Not us. Not our servers. Not advertisers. Nobody. Even if someone breached our servers, they would find nothing but unreadable noise. And nothing ties it to you: no phone number, no email. Your identity is just a random key on your device — nothing else. FREE TO USE PHANTOM is free to chat. Messages, group chats and contacts are unlimited — no trial, no account, no ads, and nothing about you is ever sold. Watching Stories is free too. Sending photos, videos and voice messages is unlocked by a single one-time purchase. WHAT YOU GET — Private 1-on-1 chats, fully end-to-end encrypted — Encrypted group chats — Send photos, videos and voice messages — all encrypted (PHANTOM Pro) — Disappearing Stories that vanish after 24 hours (watch free, post with Pro) — Self-destructing messages (1 hour to 1 week) — Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID — Wipe all your data with one button — Verify contacts via QR code WHAT MAKES PHANTOM DIFFERENT Instead of a phone number, you get a random, randomly generated ID. Nobody else has it. If you don't share it, nobody can find you. The encryption holds up even against future quantum computers. Anyone recording your messages today, hoping to crack them later, is wasting their time. And you don't have to trust us. The cryptographic core is open source. WHAT WE WILL NEVER DO — No ads — No trackers — No selling your data — No hidden backdoors — Never read your messages PHANTOM is for people who take their privacy seriously and believe private communication is a basic right. PHANTOM PRO (OPTIONAL) Pro is a single one-time purchase — EUR 9.99, charged once to your Apple ID. It never renews and never expires, and it is not required to chat. Pro unlocks: — Sending photos and videos — Voice messages — Posting your own Stories Messages, groups and contacts never need Pro.
