Questions people ask

Disckreet is a private messaging app for two people. You pair with your partner using a code or a QR, then send messages, photos and videos that are encrypted on your phone. You decide what your partner can see, and you can hide it or delete it from their phone at any time.

No. Disckreet does not ask for your phone number, your email address or your real name. You choose a nickname and pair with your partner using a one-time code or a QR.

Tap the + button. One of you shares a code (or shows a QR) and the other enters it or scans it. Then check that the five safety words match on both phones. That confirms your connection is private.

Yes, to download and use, with daily limits on the number and size of files you can share. Disckreet Pro is an optional monthly subscription that removes those limits. It is bought through Apple, and we never see your payment details.

It works on iPhone only, for now. There is no Android version and no APK file, so if you find one, it did not come from us. Disckreet is rated 17+ and is available on the App Store in most countries.

No. Your content is encrypted on your phone before it is uploaded. We hold only scrambled data and have no way to decrypt it. That is enforced by how the app is built, not just by our policy.

Your private key is created on your phone and never leaves it. Every photo, video and message is encrypted before upload using AES-256. Only you and your paired partner can decrypt it.

Yes. Calls are end-to-end encrypted, just like your photos, videos and messages. They connect directly between your phones where possible, and when that is not possible the encrypted audio and video is relayed through Cloudflare, which cannot decrypt it. Disckreet does not record or store any part of your calls.

It comes out blank. Screenshots and screen recordings of shared content are blocked, and if a capture is detected your content is hidden on their phone and you are told. Nothing can stop someone from photographing a screen with a second device, which is why it matters who you share with.

After three wrong attempts the app makes you wait, and the wait grows with each further mistake. Nothing is wiped and you are never locked out for good. Choose a PIN your partner could not guess. Turn on Face ID only if your face is the only one registered on your phone.

No app is. Given enough time and effort any system can be broken, and some risks sit outside Disckreet, such as a partner who films the screen. Disckreet greatly reduces the risks, and our Security page is straight about the limits.

Hiding flips everything you have shared to a locked state on your partner's phone, instantly. They see placeholders instead of your content. You can reveal it again at any time, and nothing is deleted.

Remote delete permanently removes your content from your partner's phone. It cannot be undone.

You are in control. Hide everything you have shared with one switch, delete it from their phone, or unlink so shared content is removed from both phones. What no app can do is erase a photo your partner has already taken of the screen with another device, so only share with someone you trust.

Yes. Deleting something you sent removes it from your partner’s phone as well as yours. Deleting something your partner sent removes it from your phone only.

We cannot reset it, because we never have it. After three wrong attempts the app makes you wait, and the wait grows with each further mistake, but nothing is wiped and you are never locked out for good.

If iCloud Keychain is on for your old phone, your identity and your partner connection carry over when you sign in on the new one. Your chat and media history stays on the original phone, and only moves across through a full device backup and restore. Keeping iCloud Keychain switched on is the best protection for your account.

Everything your partner has sent you is permanently gone, and it cannot be recovered from Disckreet even if you reinstall. The only protection is a device backup: if iCloud or iTunes backup is on, your content is included in it. Your identity is kept in your iCloud Keychain, so reinstalling can bring your account back. Deleting the app does not stop your partner from seeing what you have already sent them. If you want to remove their access, unlink or delete your data from their device, or delete your account, before you uninstall.
