Your chats are yours. Even we can't read them.
Direct chats and private groups are end-to-end encrypted on your phone. Only you and the people you talk to can unlock them, so nobody at Banga can read your messages, not even if we wanted to. And we will never sell your information.
Even we can't read them
Direct chats and private groups are locked on your phone before they are sent. Our servers carry sealed boxes and never hold a key that opens them. Check a contact's safety number to be sure it is really them.

The key stays with you
No jargon: three steps happen every time you send a message in a private chat.
Your phone locks it
Each chat has its own key, made on your devices. Your message is locked before it leaves your phone, and your backup is locked with a passphrase only you know.
We carry a sealed box
Our servers only see who it is for, when, and roughly how big it is. Never what it says.
Only they can open it
The people in the chat unlock it on their own phones. Compare safety numbers to be sure it is really them.
Even if we wanted to, we couldn't read it
On the left is a private chat as you and Maya see it. On the right is everything our server keeps of it: who it is for, when it was sent and how big it is. The words and even the payment note are locked with a key only your phones hold. There is no master key and no back door, so the messages themselves can never be handed over or sold.
- Direct chats and private groups, photos and files included
- Your backup is locked with a passphrase only you know
- Public groups are public on purpose, so anyone can read them

Questions
All questionsIs Banga free?
Yes. Chats, calls, groups, public rooms and apps cost nothing, and there are no subscriptions. Only a few money features have a fee, and each one is listed under Fees.
Do you sell my information?
No. We will never sell your information, or anything about who you talk to and what about. A few services help us run Banga and get only what their job needs: the SMS provider gets your phone number to send sign-in codes, push notifications carry no message text, and a question you send to an AI helper is answered by our AI provider. This website uses analytics cookies only if you accept them.
Are my messages encrypted?
Yes. Direct chats and private groups are end-to-end encrypted: messages, photos and files are locked on your device, and only the people in the chat can read them, not Banga. Public groups are meant to be read widely, so they are encrypted in transit and on our servers but not end to end. Calls are encrypted with DTLS-SRTP.
