Telegram alternative

A private Telegram alternative

Telegram is fast and feature-rich, but its default cloud chats are not end-to-end encrypted and everything runs on its servers.

Why PrivaMesh is a strong Telegram alternative

If you use Telegram but want real privacy by default, PrivaMesh is the alternative. Every PrivaMesh message is end-to-end encrypted - not just opt-in "secret chats" - with no cloud copy on anyone’s server, because there is no server.

There is no phone number, your account is a seed phrase, and metadata is hidden by design. The trade-off is reach: PrivaMesh is a focused iOS privacy tool, not a mass social platform.
