About Chat.onion - Anonymous P2P IM
Anonymous and fully encrypted peer-to-peer instant messenger using onion routing!
Many instant messengers already use encryption to secure message contents, but they can't hide important metadata such as your IP address and who you are communicating with!
To hide all your information, including your metadata, identity, and IP address, Chat.onion uses onion routing (Tor) to send each message over several randomly selected proxy servers. Multiple layers of encryption are used to ensure that each proxy only knows it's immediate successor and predecessor, but not the entire message route.
Chat.onion is completele free: There are no ads, you don't have to pay anything, and we can't sell your data. Chat.onion uses peer-to-peer technology and the existing Tor network, so we don't need to cover any server costs.
Chat.onion users are identified via 16 character checksums of their public keys. To connect with other users, send them your ID, show them your QR code, or use your camera to scan theirs.
The proxy servers are operated by thousands of volunteers worldwide. Chat.onion does not run a proxy or bridge node on your device, so you don't have to worry about anyone else wasting your bandwidth.

Sadly the app is good but base64 is not encryption it's encoding and there is no way around that this app dose not encrypte anything at all no hand shake methods or anything, sorry but the dev has also been contacted on many different platforms and they don't reply about it, so a app to mess with but never use it for anything real.

My chat won't connect. It'll get to 95% and then go away, making me think it's connected, and then all my messages will stay at "Pending" for 5+ minutes. Am I doing something wrong?

Abandoned project. Doesn't get developed further and it has NO encryption. It's useless as an "anonymous" messenger app. It's broken and doesn't serve its purpose.

Really like the app's simplicity and anonymity but unusable as battery drain is excessive. 3 phones used: opo, zte and Alcatel on 3 versions of Android. Fix it and I'll reinstall.

No integration with other apps making this a basic and secure messaging. It may have no integration because doing so makes it less secure. It would be nice to have the option though. To load/push copy cloud storage links instead of creating public share and then pasting in message. A way to make secured shared inside of this app

Very good, however it lacks feature to transfer my profile to another device. I'm using multiple devices and I'm constantly getting new, so I'm getting rid of those I don't need anymore. Losing all my contacts because I changed my device is quite silly.
