About OvateChat
OvateChat is a private messenger built on one principle: your conversations belong to you. Every message, photo, video, voice note, file, call and story is protected with end-to-end encryption using the Signal Protocol — the cryptography trusted by security experts worldwide. Your keys never leave your phone. Not even we can read what you send. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE • End-to-end encrypted messages, media, calls, groups, channels and stories • Delivered messages are wiped from our servers — we keep no copy of your ciphertext • No ads, no trackers, no analytics, no data selling — ever • No phone number: sign up with a username and an email address • Friends by username — your address book is never uploaded EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT • One-to-one and group chats with reactions, replies, editing and delete for everyone • Audio and video calls, one-to-one and in groups • Photos, videos, documents and large files, voice notes and location sharing • Stories for the friends you choose — 6, 12 or 24 hours, then gone • Channels: follow public channels, or open your own • Stickers, sticker packs and a sticker maker; GIFs • Disappearing messages, starred messages, message search • Read receipts and typing awareness you control • Your own name for each contact — only you see it • Several accounts on one phone; link a second device YOUR DATA, YOUR RULES • Control who can find you and who can message you • Block, report and mute with one tap • App lock with Face ID or a PIN; screenshot notices • Encrypted backup — encrypted on your phone before it is stored • Switch an account off, or delete it any time, right from the app • Dark mode, Arabic and right-to-left support OvateChat is built and operated by Ovate Technologies.

What’s new
Version 1.0.14 · Updated October 26, 2026
This update fixes the floating video-call window introduced in 1.0.14. • On iPhone, the window kept showing the last frame once you switched to another app. It now keeps moving. • On Android, the window showed the other person but not you. Both of you are in it now, and in the in-app floating window too. • The chat list no longer fails for a contact whose name starts with an emoji. • Smaller fixes on the server side. Thank you for your reports — they are what made this update quick.
