Verify Your Contacts
For maximum security, verify contacts by comparing safety numbers. In conversation details, tap "Verify Contact" to display a QR code and number sequence. Compare these with your contact in person or through a separate trusted channel.
3
Enable Biometric Lock
Go to Settings > Privacy > App Lock. Enable Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint lock. This adds a device-level security layer so that even if someone accesses your unlocked phone, they cannot open WeTalkin without biometric authentication.
4
Configure Disappearing Messages
Set a default disappearing message timer in Settings > Privacy > Disappearing Messages. Choose from 5 seconds to 7 days. This applies to new conversations. You can override the default for individual conversations that need different retention.
5
Set Up Backup Encryption
In Settings > Chats > Backup, configure encrypted backups. WeTalkin uses zero-knowledge encryption for backups—your backup data is encrypted with a key only you hold. Save your recovery phrase securely in case you need to restore on a new device.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to enable encryption on WeTalkin?
No. Encryption is always on by default for every message, call, and file transfer. There is no way to disable it. This ensures consistent protection without relying on users to remember to enable security features.
What are safety numbers and why should I verify them?
Safety numbers are unique codes derived from both users' encryption keys. Verifying them confirms there is no man-in-the-middle intercepting your communication. While optional, verification provides the highest assurance that your messages reach only the intended recipient.
Can I recover my messages if I lose my phone?
Yes, if you have configured encrypted backups. Use your recovery phrase to restore your encrypted backup on a new device. Without the recovery phrase, backup data cannot be recovered—this is the security tradeoff of zero-knowledge encryption.
