Description

Anonymous and fully encrypted peer-to-peer instant messenger using onion routing!

Many instant messengers already use encryption to secure message contents, but they can't hide important metadata such as your IP address and who you are communicating with!

To hide all your information, including your metadata, identity, and IP address, Chat.onion uses onion routing (Tor) to send each message over several randomly selected proxy servers. Multiple layers of encryption are used to ensure that each proxy only knows it's immediate successor and predecessor, but not the entire message route.

Chat.onion is completele free: There are no ads, you don't have to pay anything, and we can't sell your data. Chat.onion uses peer-to-peer technology and the existing Tor network, so we don't need to cover any server costs.

Chat.onion users are identified via 16 character checksums of their public keys. To connect with other users, send them your ID, show them your QR code, or use your camera to scan theirs.

The proxy servers are operated by thousands of volunteers worldwide. Chat.onion does not run a proxy or bridge node on your device, so you don't have to worry about anyone else wasting your bandwidth.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

4 ★Thx, how about adding an option to delete the message once read ?
1 ★Drains my battery while trying to send my messages
4 ★No integration with other apps making this a basic and secure messaging. It may have no integration because doing so makes it less secure. It would be nice to have the option though. To load/push copy cloud storage links instead of creating public share and then pasting in message. A way to make secured shared inside of this app
