These days, there are so many apps out in the market that help people text and call each other. Most of these apps have a one-time fee to download them but we’ve found 5 private texting apps that don’t charge anything. There is an app for all sorts of reasons such as security or anonymity when you want to talk to someone who has blocked you on another platform. We hope this list helps!

Signal

Also known as TextSecure Private Messenger, Signal is a new mobile app that you can download today to keep your conversations private. TextSecure uses end-to-end encryption, meaning that no one can snoop in on the conversation – not even the developer of the app. It ensures privacy by using public key cryptography and two-factor authentication, which means you’ll need to enter a six digit code every time you login. The best part? TextSecure is free!

WhatsApp

A lot of people may not know this, but Whatsapp is a messaging app that is very secure. It was created by Jan Koum and Brian Acton, two former Yahoo employees who were frustrated with the lack of privacy on traditional chat apps like AIM or ICQ. The great thing about Whatsapp is that it provides end-to-end encryption for all messages between users which means they are private and only visible to the sender and recipient. End-to-end encryption prevents anyone from being able to read your conversations without the correct password, not even Whatsapp themselves! This also makes it impossible for law enforcement agencies or hackers to access your chats because they can’t decrypt them without getting hold of your phone’s passcode.

THREEMA

THREEMA has been around for a while but it seems like no one has really heard of it in the U.S. So what is THREEMA and why should you care? It’s a new app has been released that is taking the texting game to a whole new level. The THREEMA app can be used for so many reasons, whether it’s to share files, create private chats with friends and family, or just text your significant other.

KIBO

KIBO is the new messaging app that gives you a more human touch.  It’s free to download and available in any country, but it does require an internet connection for sending messages. Unlike other apps like WhatsApp or Skype, KIBO makes it easier to chat with friends by allowing you to send voice messages (like old-school phone calls) and even share photos all without typing anything! You can also create group chats so people can talk about different topics together. Your conversations are private between you and your contacts, which means no one will be able to read them unless they’re on your contact list. So what are you waiting for?
