ATM Chat vs Yonora

ATM Chat lets you message people nearby without the internet. Messages travel between iPhones and iPads over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and can pass through other nearby ATM Chat devices to reach someone just out of range. No servers, accounts or phone numbers. In English and Arabic (Settings → Language). For flights, desert trips, camping, events and anywhere with no signal. Keep Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on in Control Center on both devices; no network is needed, so it works in Airplane Mode. Devices reach across a room or into nearby rooms, less through walls and crowds. ONE-TO-ONE CHATS • Texts with delivery and read receipts; photos, videos, voice messages, contacts (you pick the details) and files, up to 10 photos and videos at once • What you send waits while they're out of range and goes when you're both nearby with ATM Chat open, for up to 3 days, unless Auto-Delete removes it first. Videos and anything over 700 KB wait for Wi-Fi • Voice messages: review before sending, play at 1.5× or 2×; drafts are kept when you leave a chat • Swipe to reply, or reply from an alert; tap a quote to jump to it; forward to several people at once • Emoji reactions, text selection, and search that shows each result in its chat • Translate messages with iOS, offline once the languages are downloaded • Photos and videos open full screen; paste a photo or drag in files. On iPad, chats sit beside the open chat EVERYONE NEARBY: A PUBLIC ROOM • One text-only room with everyone nearby, no setup or invites. Message a poster privately. Names aren't verified • Rules to agree to before posting; an on-device check hides posts that may be offensive until you tap Show • Hide it in Settings → Privacy; ATM Chat still passes its posts on • Posts reach who's nearby when sent, not people who arrive later; yours show how many devices they went to MESSAGE REQUESTS • Messages from someone you haven't written to or accepted arrive as a request: only the first alerts with sound, and they can't see you've read them until you reply or accept. Accept, block or delete it on the chat list. You can accept someone under New People Nearby before they write YOUR MESSAGES, YOUR DEVICE • Delete any message from your iPhone, or your own for everyone in a one-to-one chat (sent when you're next directly connected, then repeated for a week). Clear or delete a chat • Auto-Delete removes new messages from your iPhone after 30 seconds to 24 hours, or when you next open ATM Chat; the other person keeps their copy and isn't told • Save photos and videos, or a whole chat's, to your library • Erase all chats and media at once in Settings SAFETY • Block someone from their chat, request or post: what they send is dropped on your device and they're hidden from your lists • Report a message or a person by email NOTIFICATIONS • Choose your alerts, including Someone You Know Is Nearby, and mute any chat • In the background or on a locked phone, messages come only over an existing Bluetooth link. Keep ATM Chat open, or turn on Keep Screen On ACCESSIBILITY • VoiceOver reads each message as one item, with its actions in the rotor. Larger text, Reduce Motion, and filled Read ticks that don't rely on colour alone PRIVACY • No data collection, analytics, tracking or ads • Chat history stays on your device and its backups, never on our servers; we see a message only if someone reports it to us by email • Not end-to-end encrypted: messages travel in readable form between nearby devices, including any that pass them along • Nearby devices can tell ATM Chat is running and see your display name. Devices that connect also get your profile photo, if set, and your device ID (random, not your number or Apple Account, and not secret: it's in every message) • Turn off read receipts or the typing indicator; link previews stay off unless you turn them on • iOS's Translate and Look Up may send text you choose to Apple Built by Approve The Move: genuinely useful apps, always free, no subscriptions.

Yonora is a simple messenger for the people who matter to you. Messages, voice notes, photos, video, and free voice and video calls — all in one app. PRIVATE WHEN YOU WANT IT Open any one-to-one chat, tap the lock, and Private mode turns on. From that moment your messages are end-to-end encrypted on your own devices, so only the two of you can read them. Nobody else can — not even us. SPEAK YOUR OWN LANGUAGE Write in the language you think in. Yonora translates messages into the language the other person reads, across a hundred languages. Send a voice note and it can be turned into text, or into another language, so family in different countries can finally talk without stopping to type in English. FREE VOICE AND VIDEO CALLS Clear one-to-one calls and group calls for the whole family or the whole team. Put a call on hold and switch to another one. Calls use your internet connection. EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT FROM A MESSENGER - Groups, with disappearing messages when you want them - Voice messages, photos, videos and large files - Polls, events and live location sharing - Moments — share a picture or a line with your contacts for a day - Write a message now and let it send on the day you choose - Star and save the messages you want to keep - Read receipts, typing, and who is online — all switchable YOU DECIDE WHO SEES WHAT Every privacy switch is in one place. Choose who can see your last seen, your profile picture, your About, your phone number, and who can add you to groups. Lock individual chats behind your passcode. Turn on screenshot protection and, where your iPhone allows it, screenshots and screen recordings of Yonora come out black; if a screenshot is taken while protection is off, you are told in the chat. FIND ME WITHOUT MY NUMBER Set a public @username or share your QR code, and people can reach you without ever knowing your phone number. YONORA AI, BUILT IN Ask Yonora anything. Summarise a long chat in one line. Rewrite a message before you send it so it says what you meant. Get a suggested reply and answer in one tap. Reply automatically while you are busy. AI answers can be wrong, and there is a Report button on every one of them. SAFE AND RESPECTFUL Block anyone, in one tap — they cannot message you, call you, or see when you are online.
