Frequently Asked Questions

Does WeTalkin send search queries to servers?

No. All search processing happens locally on your device. Your search queries, patterns, and results never leave your device. This is fundamentally different from cloud-based messaging platforms where search queries are processed server-side.

Can I search within encrypted messages?

Yes. Messages are decrypted locally on your device for display, and search works on this local decrypted content. The search is entirely local — encrypted messages on the server are never involved in search.

Does search work across all devices?

Search works on each device independently using locally stored messages. Results may differ between devices if message history differs. Each device's search is independent and local.
