AviNatEncrypted chats
Messages, photos, videos, voice messages and files are end-to-end encrypted with MLS, the IETF standard for group messaging. Only the people in the chat hold the keys.
For iPhone
End-to-end encryption, with post-quantum protection.
Power to the people: privacy and security designed so that not even AviNat can access the content of your messages and calls.
Chats and calls are end-to-end encrypted, and every chat adds post-quantum protection. Plus calls translated as you speak, stories and channels, in 19 languages, with no ads and no tracking.

Everything you need to stay close
One simple app for the conversations that matter.
Voice and video calls
Clear voice and video calls, one to one or in a group. Normal calls are end-to-end encrypted too.
Translated voice and video calls PRO
Talk in your language. They hear theirs. Choose from more than 70 listening languages, with live captions. Part of AviNat Pro.
Stories
Share a photo, video or text status for 24 hours, and choose who sees it: Everyone, My contacts or Nobody.
Channels
Broadcast to many people with a public or private channel. Followers never see each other.
19 languages
AviNat speaks your language, from English, Amharic and Arabic to Swahili, Hindi and Chinese, with right-to-left layouts where needed.
Security, built in from the first message
AviNat has no access to the content of your messages and calls. They are end-to-end encrypted, and only you and the people you communicate with can read them.
AviNat is in a private pilot today. This section describes the current pilot app. The App Store version is not released yet.
End-to-end encryption with MLS
Messages, media and normal calls are encrypted on your device with Messaging Layer Security (MLS), the IETF standard RFC 9420. Encryption keys are generated and stored on your devices and are never available to AviNat.
Hybrid post-quantum encryption
Every chat combines X25519 with ML-KEM-768, the post-quantum standard published by NIST, so message content captured today stays protected against future quantum computers. There is no unencrypted fallback.
Automatic key rotation
Your devices refresh their keys in each chat automatically: after about 50 messages or 7 days of use, and at least every 30 days. Each refresh replaces the previous keys.
Deleted from our servers after delivery
Encrypted messages stay on our servers only until every recipient device has received them, and are then deleted. A message that is never collected is deleted after 30 days.
Encrypted storage on your phone
Your chat history is kept in an encrypted database on your iPhone. Its key is held in the iOS Keychain, on that device only.
Security codes
Compare a security code with a contact to confirm that you are talking to the right person, and choose to be notified when a contact’s code changes.
Two-step verification
Add a six-digit PIN that is required whenever your phone number is registered on a new phone.
No ads. No sale of your data.
AviNat contains no advertising and no tracking, and we never sell your personal information.
To deliver messages, our servers handle limited information that is not end-to-end encrypted, such as who you communicate with and when. Translated calls, channels, stories and profile information are not end-to-end encrypted either, and the app labels them. Read the Privacy Policy
What makes AviNat different
Many popular messaging apps encrypt chats. AviNat goes further in a few important ways.
Post-quantum protection in every chat
Many popular messaging apps rely on classical encryption alone. Every AviNat chat uses hybrid post-quantum encryption by default, with nothing to turn on.
Your messages don’t stay on our servers
Encrypted messages are removed from our servers once they are delivered. Your history lives on your devices, and in your own encrypted backup if you choose one.
Built on an open internet standard
AviNat uses MLS, a protocol developed in the open at the IETF, for one-to-one and group chats alike.
A business that isn’t built on your data
Many popular apps are funded by advertising. AviNat has no ads and no tracking, and does not sell personal information.
Clear about every limit
Features that are not end-to-end encrypted are labelled in the app and listed in our Privacy Policy, so you always know what is protected.
Built for real conversations
Fast chats, reactions, voice messages and calls in one clean place. Light and dark, the way your iPhone is set.
Chats
Conversations that feel close
Text, voice messages, photos, videos, files, reactions and replies, in one-to-one and group chats. Light and dark, the way your iPhone is set.
Translated calls
Speak naturally. Hear them in your language.
Each of you chooses the language you want to hear, and the language the other person speaks is detected automatically. Captions show what was said and its translation, and their original voice can play softly underneath.
Stories
Share the moment for 24 hours
Post a photo, a video or a text status. You choose who sees it, and friends can react or reply in a chat.
Channels
Reach many people at once
Create a public or private channel and broadcast to your followers. Followers never see each other. Channels are not end-to-end encrypted.
How translated calls work
A translated call is a separate kind of call, kept apart from AviNat’s encrypted calls. This is what happens.
You start, they answer
Start a translated call from the Translate tab, a chat or a contact. You both see that the call is not end-to-end encrypted, and the other person has to tap Answer.
Each of you picks a language
Choose the language you want to hear from more than 70. You don’t set theirs: the language they speak is detected automatically.
Your voices are translated as you talk
Your voices go to AviNat’s servers, and our translation service streams them to our AI partner. Translated speech and captions arrive within a few seconds.
We don’t record the call
We don’t record or store the audio, the video or the captions. We keep a record that the call happened (who called whom, and when) for 30 days.
Translation is automatic and can make mistakes. For private conversations, use a normal call. Help Center
Privacy, explained honestly
Messages and normal calls are end-to-end encrypted: they are locked on your phone, and only the people in the chat or call hold the keys. Some features work differently, and the app labels them. Here is exactly what is covered.

Questions and answers
Is AviNat free?
Yes. Messages and normal voice and video calls are free and unlimited, with no ads. AviNat Pro is an optional monthly subscription for translated calls.
Can AviNat read my messages?
In the pilot app, messages and normal calls are end-to-end encrypted, so AviNat has no access to their content: our servers relay them only in encrypted form, and the keys stay on your devices. For the same reason, AviNat is technically unable to provide that content in response to any request. Channels, stories, translated calls and profile information are not end-to-end encrypted, and the app labels them.
Who can make translated calls?
Translated calls are part of AviNat Pro. Only the person who starts the call uses minutes, so the person you call doesn’t need Pro. If you don’t see the Translate tab, the feature isn’t on for your account yet.
Which languages are supported?
The app is available in 19 languages, including English, Amharic and Arabic. In a translated call you can choose from more than 70 languages to hear.
How do I sign in?
With your phone number and a one-time code. People can also find you by your username.
Is there an Android app?
Not yet. AviNat is for iPhone first. Android is coming later.
How do I delete my account?
In the app, go to You > Account > Delete account. The Help Center explains what happens to your information.
