About

SA Arabic

Read full description

A peer-support community for anyone in the Middle East seeking help, connection, and recovery. Reserve a seat at weekly fellowship meetings, join private group chats, place audio and video calls, share voice notes and photos, and read a page a day from The Real Connection. Open to the public. To protect the privacy and safety of members — many of whom share sensitive personal experiences — every new account is briefly reviewed by a volunteer moderator before access is granted. There is no fee, no affiliation requirement, and no organizational membership needed to join. Key features • Weekly meetings — reserve a seat at fellowship meetings across the region, with phone verification and capacity managed by volunteer secretaries. • Private group chats — WhatsApp-style threads with read receipts, typing indicators, and presence. Send text, voice notes, photos, PDFs, and any file type, with a built-in viewer for images and documents. • Audio & video calls — one-to-one and group calls inside any chat. Incoming calls appear on the iPhone lock screen via CallKit, just like a regular phone call. • Daily meditation — a page-a-day reader from كتاب التواصل الحقيقي (The Real Connection), with bookmarking and progress tracking. • Bilingual & RTL — full Arabic and English support with right-to-left layout. • Push notifications — instant alerts for new messages, incoming calls, and meeting confirmations. All conversations are private to the participants, all data is encrypted in transit, and accounts are tied to a verified phone number or email to keep the community safe.
