Message privately
Write to one person or a whole family, and know that what you say stays between you. Messages are encrypted from your phone to theirs, so nobody in between can read them, us included.
Talk face to face, for free
Voice and video calls that work on Wi-Fi and mobile data, with up to eight people at once. Clear on a weak signal, and free across the world.
Keep your groups together
One place for the school run, the team and the weekend plans. Share photos, documents and your location, and mute a group whenever you need the quiet.

What people say
My whole family is on it, from my grandmother to my nephew. It is the one app everybody actually uses.
We run our five-a-side team from one group. Fixtures, scores, who is bringing the ball. It just works.
Video calls to my parents abroad cost me nothing and look better than the ones I pay for at work.
