PIING is a private messenger made for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and CarPlay. Free. No ads, ever.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• One-to-one text messages are end-to-end encrypted with post-quantum protection (ML-KEM-1024 and X25519). Photos, videos, voice notes, files and group chats are encrypted in transit
• Compare a safety code to check nobody is in the middle
• Disappearing messages, view-once photos and view-once voice notes
• Face ID app lock
• No ads and no selling your data. Delete your account in the app at any time
CHAT THAT FEELS LIKE APPLE MADE IT
• Bold, italic, strikethrough, code and @mentions
• React with any emoji, swipe to reply, forward, pin and star
• Search inside any chat
• Voice notes: hold to record, lock, pause and slide to cancel, with transcripts made on your iPhone
• Photos, videos, files, stickers, polls, contacts and your location, or share it live for 15 minutes, 1 hour or 8 hours
• Group chats with polls, reactions and @mentions
CALLS THAT RING LIKE A PHONE
• Voice and video calls on the iPhone call screen, even on the Lock Screen
• Tap to swap who's big, double-tap to fit
• Call waiting: hold, swap, or merge two calls into a group call
• A Calls tab with your missed calls, and "Call Mum on PIING" with Siri
LIVE LOCATION
• Share live from any chat: a live map card shows where they are, how far and how long
• Pick me up, add a stop on the way, meet halfway, and "On my way" on the Lock Screen
FRIENDS MAP
• See friends who share with you, with Ghost mode one tap away
• Choose who sees you: all friends, close friends, or everyone except…
• Meet up: pick friends and get places in the middle
• Look Around and 3D views
NEARBY: NO SIGNAL, STILL CHATTING
• Messages hop phone to phone over Bluetooth when there's no internet
FOR BUSINESS
