From an empty screen to your first encrypted 'I miss you' — here's exactly what happens, in order.
No email, no phone number, no OTP. Choose a username, set a password, and you're in — under a minute, start to finish.
From Settings → Security, set a 4–10 digit App PIN and, if you want it, a separate Delete PIN. This is what stands between your phone unlocking and your conversations unlocking.
Search their username from Contacts, send a request. Once they accept, you're connected — no group chats, no algorithm suggesting "people you may know."
Every message is encrypted before it leaves your device. Typing shows up live. Read receipts arrive the instant they're seen. It all happens over one realtime connection, the moment it happens.
No. Whispr accounts are username + password only. There is no phone or email field anywhere in signup.
You can change your App PIN from Settings → Security once signed in. If you're locked out entirely, account recovery uses the security question you set up during onboarding.
It's a genuine WebSocket connection — messages, typing state, read receipts, and online presence all arrive the instant they happen, with automatic reconnect if your connection drops.
Yes. Every device you sign into is listed under Settings → Security, where you can rename or revoke it at any time.
Entering your Delete PIN permanently wipes your conversations. It's intentionally irreversible — there is no undo, no 30-day trash folder.
