END-TO-END ENCRYPTION FOR YOUR SECURITY
Independent is a messenger for personal, one-to-one conversations. Create an invitation, share a link or QR code and start chatting with someone you trust. No phone number or address-book upload is required.
MESSAGES, PHOTOS AND FILES
Exchange text messages, photos and files up to 20 MB. Save the photos you want to keep to Photos, and documents to your chosen folder.
PROTECT THE CONTENT OF YOUR CONVERSATIONS
Messages and attachments are encrypted on the sender’s device and decrypted on the recipient’s device. Compare the security code with your contact and confirm the connection on both devices.
INVITE SOMEONE TO A PERSONAL CHAT
Connect using a single-use link or QR code. Saved contacts remain in your chat list so you can continue your conversation later. Give each contact a local name that only you see.
A LIMITED MESSAGE HISTORY
Messages and attachments expire automatically after their retention period. Copies you or your contact export to Photos or Files remain in the selected location and may sync according to device settings.
Independent keeps the focus on personal conversations, with a simple interface and end-to-end encryption.
