Security
Built to protect the people who use it, and honest about how.
Protection you get by default
Encrypted in transit
Every message, file and call signal travels over TLS between your device and our servers.
Account protection
Sign-in happens through a dedicated identity service; new devices are visible in your sessions list the moment they appear.
Private by default
Your phone number is never required to be visible; people can reach you by username instead.
Take control of your account
- 1
Turn on two-step verification
Add a password that is required on top of your sign-in. Settings → Privacy and Security.
- 2
Lock the app
Require a passcode or biometrics before the app opens. Settings → Privacy and Security → App lock.
- 3
Review your sessions
Settings → Devices shows every signed-in device. End any session you do not recognise.
- 4
Keep the app updated
Install updates from the App Store or Google Play so you always have the latest protections.
Tools when something goes wrong
Block
Blocked people cannot message or call you, and they cannot see when you are online.
Report
Report a chat, a message or a channel from the chat menu; we review every report.
Recover
Lost a device? Sign in from another one and end the old session from Settings → Devices.
What we do not claim
Ringlate stores your messages on its servers so they are available everywhere you sign in. They are encrypted in transit, not end-to-end encrypted. We say this plainly in the privacy policy so that you can decide what to share.
