Chats and groups

AiThao chats work like the messenger you already know, with two differences: every message can arrive in the reader’s own language, and the chat is end-to-end encrypted.

What you can send

  • Text, voice messages, photos, videos and files.
  • Your location and contact cards.
  • Replies to a specific message, reactions, and edits after sending.

Groups where everyone reads their own language

In a group chat each member reads the conversation in their own language; one person writes in Vietnamese, another reads in Russian, a third in English. Groups are end-to-end encrypted like one-to-one chats, and the keys change when someone joins or leaves. A group can turn off forwarding of its messages.

Keeping the conversation under control

  • Search your messages.
  • Keep important messages in Saved messages.
  • Delete a message for everyone, not only for yourself.
  • Set disappearing messages for a chat.
  • Someone who is not in your contacts arrives as a message request, which you can accept or ignore.

Translation in a chat

A message in a language you do not read is translated for you in one of 92 languages, and the original stays visible. To translate, the phone sends the decrypted text to a cloud translation service; you can turn that off in Settings.

Questions

Can I use AiThao chats without translation?

Yes. Turn off cloud translation in Settings and AiThao works as an encrypted messenger; messages then appear as they were written.

Can the other person see that I am typing?

Yes, while you type. Who sees your online status is your choice in Settings.

The web demo lets you try AiThao before the app is out. AiThao is waiting for Apple’s approval to appear in the App Store; there is no install link yet.
