Why you'll want it
No number to hand out
You chat inside allme, so nobody needs your phone number or email address to message you.
Strangers can't start a chat
Only people you're connected with, and companies whose services you're connected to, can message you. Anyone else has to send a connection request first — and you decide.
Private by default
One-to-one messages with your connections are end-to-end encrypted: only you and the other side can read them, not allme. Chats through a one-time anonymous code and messages a company sends to everyone at once are not encrypted.
How it works
01All your chats in one place
Conversations with people and with the companies you're connected to, each in its own thread.
02Companies, on your terms
A company can only message you about a service you're connected to. Mute that service, report a message or block it right from the thread.
03A guardian decides who gets in
On a child's account, every new connection — and so everyone who can message them — waits for a guardian's OK.
How your messages stay private
A one-to-one message to a connection is encrypted on your phone for the other side, plus a second copy only you can open, so the conversation stays readable on your side too. If they have no key yet, allme doesn't send the message rather than send it unencrypted, and our servers store only the locked copies. Two kinds of message are not encrypted: a chat through a one-time anonymous code, and a message a company sends to everyone connected to its service at once.

Can someone message me without being connected?
No. To message you, someone has to be connected with you, and a connection starts with a request you accept — or, for a company, a service you connected to yourself. The one exception is a one-time anonymous chat code, which only works for the person you give it to.
Are all my messages encrypted?
Messages with your connections, and one-to-one messages with a company, are end-to-end encrypted. Two kinds are not: a chat started with a one-time anonymous code, which always shows a “not encrypted” notice, and a message a company sends to everyone connected to its service at once.
What happens when I mute a company?
Its messages still arrive and stay in the thread, but they no longer send you a notification. You can unmute it from the same menu.
What happens when I block someone?
You're disconnected, their messages are removed from your phone straight away, and they can't contact you until you unblock them. Blocking a company's service stops that service's messages.
Do guardians read a child's messages?
No. Parental controls decide who a child can connect with; the conversations themselves stay between the child and whoever they're talking to.
