Messaging

End-to-end encrypted messaging

Everything you’d expect from a modern messenger, in one-to-one chats and groups. Each message is encrypted on your device before it leaves, so the server only ever relays and stores ciphertext.

Everything you send

Write the way you already do. TACENZA Chat handles the formats you use every day.

  • Text with replies, reactions, edits, pins and threads
  • Photos, files, voice messages, locations and contact cards
  • Events that people can say they’re going to
  • Live location for 15 minutes, 1 hour, 8 hours or until you stop

Disappearing and deleting

Set messages to disappear after anything from 5 minutes to 7 days, per chat. Delete for everyone removes a message from every device in the chat.

Protected chats

For conversations that need more care, a chat can turn off copying and forwarding and add a watermark to photos. The Windows app keeps its window out of screenshots and screen recordings. A web page can’t block screenshots, so by default protected chats can only be read in the desktop app – and we say so in the app.

Who can reach you

People you haven’t written to land in a message requests folder, not your chat list. Blocking happens on your device, and safety numbers let you confirm that your messages are encrypted to the person you think – if someone’s keys ever change, the chat locks until you’ve checked again.
