Description
Secure, end-to-end encrypted messenger for calls, chat, sharing pics, videos, files, GIFs, sketches and more.
Works on mobile, tablet, desktop, and keeps chats always in sync.
• Secure. Everything you send is end-to-end encrypted and only you and the receiver can read and see what is sent.
• Privacy focused. Wire does not share or sell your data or contact details to anyone. There are no ads. Switzerland-based with servers in the European Union.
• Phone number or email. Register with phone number on mobile, or with email on desktop, then log in with the same account on mobile.
• Username. There’s no need to share your phone number with others. Just give them your username to connect.
• Mobile, tablet, desktop. Chats are always in sync and you don’t need your phone to log in on desktop.
• Groups. Wire is great for private and secure group conversations with up to 128 people.
• Timed messages. Control how long others see your messages, pictures, videos.
• Delete & edit. Posted something to a wrong chat by accident? No problem, delete it from all receiving devices.
• Open source. Anyone can verify the security of Wire by auditing the code available on GitHub. Independent security review was published in January, 2017.
Feature rich – great for teams
• Voice & video calls. Crystal clear quality, developed by the original audio team from Skype.
• Group calls. Talk with up to 10 people and enjoy the virtual stereo effect (with headphones) to help you understand who’s speaking.
• Audio and video messages. Record and send, or choose a clip from your device. There are even fun filters to modify your voice.
• Search. Full chat history at your fingertips. You can also filter chat content by images, links and files that have been shared.
• GIFs and sketches. Send a funny GIF or sketch with your finger to create a unique reply.
• File sharing. Securely transfer any file from your device, or from cloud services like iCloud or Dropbox.
• Location sharing. Meeting up or giving instructions is easy – just share your current location.
• Videos and music. Share a Youtube, Vimeo or SoundCloud link in a chat and others can play it without leaving Wire.
• Link previews. Share any web link and Wire will automatically show the page title and a photo from the page (if available).
