WiChat - Private Chat on Your Wi-Fi

WiChat lets you chat privately with people on the same Wi-Fi network, without relying on mobile data for local conversations. Discover nearby users automatically and send messages directly over your local network with a fast, lightweight chat experience.

What makes WiChat different

Local network chat: Works with people connected to the same Wi-Fi or local network.

Privacy-first messaging: Your local chats are not uploaded to our servers.

Fast nearby discovery: Find other WiChat users on the network automatically.

Direct encrypted communication: Messages are protected with AES-256-GCM and RSA-2048 key exchange.

How it works

Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi or local network.

Open WiChat and allow the required permissions.

Discover nearby WiChat users automatically.

Start chatting and share text, images, videos, or contacts directly.

Privacy and data control

Local chat messages are stored on your device for your convenience.

You can delete messages and clear conversations at any time.

You can delete your account from Settings > Delete Account by confirming your password.

Account deletion starts immediately and typically completes within minutes.

Deletion removes your Firebase account, profile, feedback, block-list records, and local app data tied to your account.

Messages already delivered to another person remain on their device.

Notes

Local chatting is designed for people on the same network.

Some account-related features rely on Firebase services.

Delivered messages stay on recipients' devices unless they delete them.

Make local conversations simple, fast, and private with WiChat.
