What can I send on Morse?

Text with rich formatting, photos, albums, videos, voice messages, stickers, locations, polls, quizzes and checklists, all end-to-end encrypted. Arbitrary file and document sharing is not currently supported.

Are my messages really private?

Yes. Messages and media are encrypted on your device and can only be read by the people in your conversation. Morse relays encrypted data and cannot read your chats.

What are disappearing messages?

You can set messages to delete themselves automatically a set time after they are sent, keeping your history short and your conversations private.

Do I need a phone number to message on Morse?

No. You create an account with a Morse ID and an optional PIN. No phone number or email required.

Can I use Morse without a SIM card?

Yes. Morse does not use phone numbers, so there is no SMS verification and no SIM card or mobile plan is needed. An internet connection is enough, and Wi-Fi counts.

Does Morse have usernames?

Yes, if you want one. Choose a username in Settings. If you also turn on your public profile and contact requests, people can send you a request through your username without knowing your Morse ID. You decide whether to accept each one.
