Zangi Private Messenger

I like this app a lot better than some others that I've used! But unfortunately, I can't find someone that I was talking to before since I forgot to write their number down! But my tablet restarted itself after I dropped it so it deleted all of my apps that I downloaded including this one. So I have no clue how to contact my friend without their number unless there is another way to find them that Idk about! Please help if possible, thanks!

I appreciate the privacy of an app that has end-to-end encryption and stores your data only on your device, but Zangi takes that to extremes. If I want to use Zangi on my iPhone when I’m holding that but on my iPad or Mac when I’m in front of that, I can’t. Not only do past messages not appear when you sign in on a new device (which is 100% understandable and I expected), but you’re suddenly signed out on the first device, with an “invalid account” message popping up. By comparison, Signal wants to use your existing phone number, but at least allows you to receive/read/send messages on more than one device at a time. The app asks for access to your contacts so it can see who else you’re connected to, which seems shady, since you never use your actual phone number when registering, just a seemingly random Zangi “private number.” I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt that there’s potential value, perhaps comparing the names of people in your contacts to the names of people who’ve registered, but I figure if you want someone to have your Zangi private number, you’ll give it to them.

I'm impressed with the Zangi app's user-friendly interface and robust features. However, I'd love to see an enhancement that would take it to the next level: the ability to text while on a call. It would be fantastic if the app allowed users to access the chat functionality without having to end the call or put it on hold. Specifically, it would be great if the calling screen had a "Back" or "Chat" button that would allow users to seamlessly switch to texting mode while still on the call. This feature would enable multitasking, making it easier to clarify points or share information with the other party without interrupting the call. The app's current features, such as high-quality voice calls and messaging, are excellent. Adding this functionality would make Zangi an even more versatile and convenient communication tool

It's a pretty good app, everything seems to work BUT, with iPhone, you can hang up via Bluetooth. Using android, you have to search for the damn app, open it, find the phone call then hit the red hang up button, pain in the A$$. You might have to reboot several times to get your connection to work but OK when it actually does. In response to their reply: thank you for listening, I will change my review after the changes come out... good luck.

Hands down the best app to use in slow internet connections. Best app to use when travelling to countries with slow and restricted internet. On low data setting... this app out performs everything else I used. The app does have a few annoying bugs.... but it is a small price to pay... when other apps fail due to connectivity issues... this app performs... Update. This app went downhill in the last couple months. Video chats no longer work. Calls don't show up... always shows me a missed call.

First, I need to say that this is a good traditional messenger app. Links show up with nice previews, gifs auto play, "FaceTime" and the rest of the usual bells & whistles. Now, as an encrypted messenger app, it's good because it has end-to-end encryption, nothing is stored or passes through any other party. However, I did give it three stars because I believe there are at least a couple necessary features that are missing from this app. Zangi doesn't have disappearing messages, you can't put a Touch ID or Face ID lock on the app, and you can't use a decryption key of your choosing. I've also noticed some really strange behavior like random pictures from my photo album being sent when all I type is text. Also, I've found that many of my text replacements won't work if I type and send the message quickly. Honestly, I prefer the messenger app "Signal", but I have friends on both, so I use both. I will admit that Zangi has the better GUI though.
