Send your first sealed chat
A 1-to-1 chat is a sealed private thread between two Buzzio IDs.
How to use
- Open Chat.
- Open Select contact (new-chat button).
- Add the person if they are not saved yet — Buzzio ID, Scan QR Code, or Share invite link. Full steps: Add contacts.
- Tap their name (or Note to Self to message yourself).
- Send text, photos, video, voice, files, polls, or todos.
What happens:
- The message is end-to-end encrypted on your device.
- Servers relay ciphertext briefly, then delete on delivery.
- Readable history stays in an encrypted local database on your phones.
- Undelivered sealed copies are purged after about 3 days.
In the chat
- Reply, react, pin, star, or edit a text for about 30 minutes after send.
- Optional privacy: Secure View, disappearing messages, once-view, view-once media. See Privacy, app lock, and Smart Inbox.
- Place a voice or video call (including screen share) from the same chat. Groups use voice rooms, not this ring.
- Free file send: 50 MB. Premium: 200 MB. Rocket Drop: up to 10 GB. Pins: free 3 / Premium 20.
Troubleshooting
- Person not in Chat — save them as a contact first.
- Message stays sending — network on both phones, no blocks, wait for wake + fetch (the push often does not contain the body).
- Chat missing — Archive, hidden chats, Smart Inbox, or the wrong multi-account identity.
