Messenger Help Center | Zangi FAQ

Messenger Help Center. What is Zangi and why should I use it? How do I get Zangi Private Messenger? How can I invite my friends to join Zangi?

While looking for an app I stumbled upon this one. I followed much of the “messenger wars”, but I never heard of this one before. I know it’s Chinese but on paper it is pretty good:

  • E2EE
  • no phone number signup
  • FOSS
  • serverless

I tried it and it works well. Seems to have all the things people like but I never heard it mentioned before, any thoughts?

    “No Registration No Data Collection”

    Requires Google Play Store which contains a lot of tracking (thanks Google) and “requires” you to have an account at Google. And with “require” I mean you can get pass Google’s shit with Aurora Store, but that shit doesn’t always work properly because Google is trying to block it or something.

      I mean it’s not FOSS so I won’t use it, but if Aurora doesn’t work you can just install it from apk

        Yes, but you can’t download the APK file at all. You have go through Google Play Store to install the app. All download links on zangi.com leads to Play Store (for us Android users that is). Or have I missed something? :)
