About this app

Olvid is the first private instant messaging application for everyone. Send messages, photos, files and make secure phone and video calls.


# What is a "private" messenger?

It's a messenger:
- That does not push new contacts on you. You are in control: you choose who you want to discuss with. Olvid offers several ways to invite other Olvid users, either face-to-face or remotely.
- That does not require any personal data. Olvid won't ask for your phone number, for your email. Unlike your previous messenger, Olvid will never request access to your address book.
- On which you will never receive unsolicited messages or messages from an unknown source.
- Where all exchanges benefit from the same security and privacy as a real-world discussion behind closed doors. Olvid offers end-to-end encryption and end-to-end authentication by default, always, for everything you send or receive.

Olvid guarantees you safe spaces, immune to external aggression, which isolate you from the digital noise and violence of other social networks. Create groups with your family, friends and key collaborators. No spam, no advertising. You finally regain full control over your communications.

Olvid has been designed to be the best place to exchange on subjects that matter, with those who matter to you.


# Olvid - Technology

At the heart of Olvid, a 'cryptographic engine' coming from several years of research allows to mathematically prove the integrity, the confidentiality and the anonymity of your communications.

I rarely review apps but this one is just exceptional I say. Has the perfect ability to replace WhatsApp as a main tool but only the calls being subscription based stop it so. The media quality is great and it sounds better both on android and ios which rarely is the case with other apps. Whoever is behind this app, you are a great team. Just don't sell out to cheap billionaires

After every update waiting desperately for free voice call at least without subscription. Then only I can completely rely on this very app for everything or else I have to take support of other apps specially for calling.

Receiving calls is free but yes we love finding more free ways for all and we work on it, as we explain here https://olvid.io/faq/olvid-business-model.

The overall design is not really visually pleasing. It's a hostile environment for user friendliness. Wish we had better European messaging app alternatives. Hoping for updates.
