About oChat

O

oChat

oChat is a messenger you can walk into

oChat is a messenger you can walk into. Sign in with Apple or Google in one tap — no phone number, no SMS code, no password to make up — and you are writing. The same account works on iPhone and on Mac. Your one-to-one chats and groups are end-to-end encrypted with Apple's own CryptoKit. Keys are set up on that first sign-in, so there is nothing to switch on.
