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 3.1
- We've redesigned the experience of reacting to messages! The reactions panel now conveniently displays only your preferred reactions.
- You're in control - these preferred reactions are fully customizable.
- Get better insights into your message delivery! We've introduced enhanced sent message statuses that provide more details about who has received and read your messages and attachments.
- Enhancements to the navigation experience: the current discussion is now clearly highlighted in your list of recent discussions.
- When the administrator of a group adds or removes group members, a complete list of changes is now shown in the group discussion.
- You can now easily copy and paste images - simply copy them from the Finder or a web browser and paste them into our app.
- Olvid now supports handoff.
- The invitation flow has been streamlined for a smoother experience.
- The double-scan invitation method is now faster than ever!
- Enhances the scrolling performance on the discussion screen.
- Message reception is now more reliable than ever.

- The badge displaying new messages in the profile list now accurately reflects the number of new invitations as well.
- We've fixed an issue that allowed a contact to wipe out all messages in a one-to-one discussion.
- We've fixed an issue that prevented the global deletion of a locked one-to-one discussion in a multi-device setting.
- Minor graphical tweaks.
Ratings and Reviews
Simplistic
The UI is a little simplistic in its appearance. It could use a notch closer to a modern interface with elements a little thinner and less bold. That said the use is easy and though it takes some getting use to adding contact isn't too difficult.
I'm happy to be using a more secure messaging service without international cost implication which is what I was looking for in the first place! Less snooping and data sharing. More privacy.
It's too bad the video is a paying service that said I understand on that one...
great improvements in the last year
one area for improvement is in the new conversation UI.
There’s too many rich messaging options that i would never use. two separate buttons for document scanning and document upload? that’s very silly. maybe let use choose which buttons should be on the bottom bar?
Developer Response ,
Hi cothalesr 👋 !
Thank you so much for taking time to write a review for Olvid!
We heard you. The rich messaging options can now be reorganized at your will, making more accessible the buttons you use the most. You can further customize this area by choosing your preferred quick emoji (globally for the entire app, with possible overrides by discussion). We hope you will like these improvements!
Have a great day and thank you again for the review 🙌.
