Read full description

Ena Messenger lets you instantly message and reach all your network. While other messaging apps require everyone to use the same app, Ena Messenger is based on a Platform which enables other compatible apps to seamlessly message any other apps on the Platform. The Platform works just like email, but now for messaging. You create an address (e.g. smith@enapp.org) and can message other addresses on the Platform regardless of the app they are using. Why use Ena? * Open: With Ena Platform different companies/organizations can implement the platform enabling users to not only choose the app they want to use but also choose who they want to trust with their data. Users are no longer locked in to using the app their friends are using, but choose the one they want. * Works like email, but now for messaging: Directly message people on your network by using their address, just like you would send email to people, but now it is instantaneous! * Private: Your data/messages are yours, and belong to you not us! You are in control! * 1:1 Chat: Directly message someone in your network * Group Chat: Message multiple people at once. * 1 picture = 10000 words: Share your photos with anyone * Sent, Delivery and Read receipts: Let people know when you have received/read their messages * Cloud Storage: Your messages seamlessly sync across all your devices. * Support / Feedback We would love to hear from you! No seriously :)! Email us at hi@enapp.org or message us directly through the app at filip@enapp.org
