1-to-1 chat

Private chat between two Buzzio IDs. Messages are encrypted on your device, relayed briefly, then deleted from the server after delivery. Readable history stays on your phones.

If you have not added the person yet, start with Add contacts.

How to use

1. Open Chat and start or open a 1-to-1 conversation (saved contact, Buzzio ID, @username, or invite).
2. Send text, photos, video, voice, files, polls, or todos.
3. Long-press a bubble to reply, react, pin, star, or edit a text for about 30 minutes after send.
4. Optionally enable Secure View, disappearing messages, once-view (swipe up), or view-once media.
5. Hide a chat, lock it with biometrics, or block online status / read receipts for that contact only — from contact info or Privacy.
6. Place a voice or video call from the same chat, including screen share. Groups use voice rooms, not this ring.
7. Block or report from contact info if needed.

Tips and limits

• Free file send: 50 MB. Premium: 200 MB. Rocket Drop: up to 10 GB.

Troubleshooting

1. Check network on both phones.
2. Confirm the Buzzio ID and that neither of you blocked the other.
3. Wait for wake + fetch — the push may not contain the message body.
4. Check Archive, hidden chats, and Smart Inbox.
5. Confirm you are on the correct multi-account identity.
6. If they never appear in Chat, add them as a contact first.
