rawgram is an anonymous messaging app built with one goal: freedom from every trace you leave behind. Sign up with nothing but an ID and password β that's it. Just pick a nickname to use in the app. rawgram never collects your real name, phone number, email, contacts, or any other personal information. Every message is encrypted with the Signal Protocol (X3DH + Double Ratchet). Only the person you're chatting with can read what you send. Not the server. Not the rawgram team. Nobody else. Try taking a screenshot β it won't work. All that gets captured is a black screen. Read messages vanish 5 minutes after they're opened. Unread messages disappear after 7 days. No conversation is ever stored permanently on our servers. Use the same account on your PC through any web browser. Your PC sessions are protected by the very same end-to-end encryption. Every one of these features is completely free. Embrace the data bohemian life with rawgram.

The clearest difference is ads: Sandesh at none against rawgram's shown. rawgram's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
