About this app

Roots is a messaging and calling app for the communities you belong to.

📞 Voice and video calls
Call any member one to one, straight from a chat or their profile. Incoming
calls ring full screen over your lock screen with Answer and Decline, exactly
like your phone dialer — so you never miss a call from your community. Every
call appears in your Calls history alongside your conversations.

💬 Messaging
Direct and group messaging with photos, videos, voice notes, and location
sharing.

🏘️ Your communities
A shared feed, an announcements board, and events for the groups you're part
of — mosques, neighbourhoods, family networks, and local organisations.

📅 Events and prayer times
Save community events to your calendar and get accurate local prayer times.

💼 Jobs and housing
Community job listings and housing posts from people you actually know.
