GO — переписка и звонки для закрытого круга: сообщения, фото и файлы остаются между своими. СКВОЗНОЕ ШИФРОВАНИЕ Сообщения, фотографии, голосовые и файлы шифруются на вашем устройстве и расшифровываются только у собеседника. Ключи хранятся на устройствах — переписку не читает никто посторонний. ЗВОНКИ Голос и видео один на один и группой, с тем же шифрованием. ВСЁ ПРИВЫЧНОЕ • Ответы, цитаты, пересылка, реакции и закреплённые сообщения • Голосовые сообщения и видеокружки • Фото и видео с подписью, просмотрщик во весь экран • Стикеры и папки с чатами • Уведомления с текстом, отправка без звука ЗАКРЫТЫЙ КРУГ Вход по приглашению: посторонние не найдут вас в поиске и не напишут первыми. Каждый видит только свой круг общения. БЕЗ РЕКЛАМЫ В GO нет рекламы и встроенных покупок.
