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).
Wire is free.

Customer Reviews
Latest UI changes are not that good
user experience is pretty important
Of they truly do shield you
DELETING THE APP. Now forced updates shut down your account IF YOU REFUSE THEIR UNSPECIFIED CHANGES. I'm guessing there are govt black doors being inserted with the frequency of their forced updates.
