CHAT AND SHARE Use one conversation for text, images, animated stickers, replies, and files. Save useful images to Photos, keep important people in Contacts, and add private remarks that stay on your device. BUILT FOR YOUR LOCAL NETWORK • Start with a device name instead of an account • Protect peer conversations with encryption in transit • Keep chat history and received files on the iPhone • Discover and connect only across a reachable local network • Personalize your device name, avatar, appearance, and themes LANChat Pro is useful at home, in studios, classrooms, labs, small teams, and temporary spaces. It does not relay conversations through a hosted chat service. Devices must share a reachable local network; guest Wi-Fi, client isolation, or firewall rules can prevent discovery and connection.
