Your group chat deserves better than a group text. Outernet is a private space for the people you actually talk to — your family, your best friends, your crew. Every group gets two things: a chat, and a feed of its own. THE CHAT Fast, familiar messaging with the people you choose. Photos, reactions, and Outernet itself in the room when you want it — mention it to ask for something, or just talk to each other. THE FEED Every group has its own feed: articles, videos, and finds picked for that group by Outernet. It pays attention to what your group actually cares about, learns from what lands and what gets scrolled past, and gets sharper the longer you use it. Members can post into the feed too — drop a link or photos, and it lives alongside everything else. Like it, talk about it, save it for later. NO AUDIENCE There are no public posts, no followers, and no strangers. Nothing shared in a group leaves the group. MADE FOR YOUR PEOPLE Sign in with your phone number, start a group, and invite the people who matter. Tell Outernet what the group is about — or let it figure that out from what you love. Groups are invite-only. Start one for the people you'd send this stuff to anyway.
