Description
Olvid is the first private instant messaging application for everyone.
What is a "private" messenger?
It's a messenger:
- That does not push new contacts on you. You are in control: you choose who you want to discuss with. Olvid offers several ways to invite other Olvid users, either face-to-face or remotely.
- That does not require any personal data. Olvid won't ask for your phone number, for your email. Unlike your previous messenger, Olvid will never request access to your address book.
- On which you will never receive unsolicited messages or messages from an unknown source.
- Where all exchanges benefit from the same security and privacy as a real-world discussion behind closed doors. Olvid offers end-to-end encryption and end-to-end authentication by default, always, for everything you send or receive.
Olvid guarantees you safe spaces, immune to external aggression, which isolate you from the digital noise and violence of other social networks. Create groups with your family, friends and key collaborators. No spam, no advertising. You finally regain full control over your communications.
Olvid has been designed to be the best place to exchange on subjects that matter, with those who matter to you.
Olvid - Technology
------------------
At the heart of Olvid, a 'cryptographic engine' coming from several years of research allows to mathematically prove the authenticity, the integrity, and the confidentiality of your communications.
What’s New
Version 3.3
- Our notifications have been completely revamped to make them less intrusive, yet more reliable and relevant than ever before.
- Notifications about new messages are now grouped by discussion, making it easier to stay on top of your chats.
- Plus, if someone edits or deletes a message they sent you, Olvid will reflect those changes in real-time, so you always have an accurate view of the conversation.
- And if you use Olvid on multiple devices, we've got you covered! When you read a message on one device, the notification will automatically disappear from all your other devices.
- Ensures messages sent before (but received after) a remote deletion request are properly discarded, preventing unexpected appearances.
- Personal notes are now taken into account when searching for a contact or a discussion.
- Resolves an issue that occasionally blocked users from editing their preferred emojis.
- Addresses a problem that sometimes hindered the creation and editing of personal notes.
- Sharing an invitation with AirDrop now shares the invitation URL.
Ratings and Reviews
Nothing has been forgotten
Finally I found a messenger without the need to provide my phone number and what is easy to use. The process of user authentication is fantastically implemented. Of course Olvid is using End-two-End encryption and forward secrecy. It’s free to use. Only making calls and multi-device sync requires a monthly in-App purchase. I would prefer a one time payment. Most users won‘t pay a monthly fee. At least the possibility to share the purchase with my family would be good.
No test call possible without buying
There is no test call possible before you bought the feature! That’s the wrong way.
Developer Response ,
Hello Kriso01 👋. We make it very clear right from the start. All the messaging part if free (including secure group chat, attachments not limited in size, and so on).
All the current free features will remain free.
Most of the supposedly free messaging services are financed through the exploitation of the exchanged data. Your data. It’s no secret that you are the one at the service of the social network.
Olvid was designed to never have any possible access to any of your data.
Olvid is financed through paid options. The turnover generated allows us to guarantee an irreproachable quality of service to all our users, whether they pay or not.
And the circle is virtuous: users of the free version give all their value to the paid options.
It’s a win-win situation. And we think this model is the right one.
Simple. Sustainable. Honest.
