Description

Olvid is the first private instant messaging application for everyone.

What is a "private" messenger?

It's a messenger:

- That does not push new contacts on you. You are in control: you choose who you want to discuss with. Olvid offers several ways to invite other Olvid users, either face-to-face or remotely.

- That does not require any personal data. Olvid won't ask for your phone number, for your email. Unlike your previous messenger, Olvid will never request access to your address book.

- On which you will never receive unsolicited messages or messages from an unknown source.

- Where all exchanges benefit from the same security and privacy as a real-world discussion behind closed doors. Olvid offers end-to-end encryption and end-to-end authentication by default, always, for everything you send or receive.


Olvid guarantees you safe spaces, immune to external aggression, which isolate you from the digital noise and violence of other social networks. Create groups with your family, friends and key collaborators. No spam, no advertising. You finally regain full control over your communications.

Olvid has been designed to be the best place to exchange on subjects that matter, with those who matter to you.


Olvid - Technology
------------------

At the heart of Olvid, a 'cryptographic engine' coming from several years of research allows to mathematically prove the authenticity, the integrity, and the confidentiality of your communications.

What's new (v4.2)

- You can now transfer your chat history between devices — a feature many of you have been waiting for!
- Improved paste experience: copy text, media, or attachments from anywhere — even outside Olvid — and paste them directly into the message composition area. A new "Paste" button is also available in the "+" menu for easy access.
- Added a new setting to disable autocorrection, making it easier to copy and paste code without unwanted changes.
- Improved reply experience: dismiss the blur view to continue your conversation while keeping the reply context visible.
- Added notifications to alert you when one of your devices is about to be deactivated.
- When you type the @ symbol to mention someone, the order of contacts in the list is now more natural.
- Adding or removing group members now includes haptic feedback to help prevent accidental additions or removals.
- New for Enterprise users: managed profiles can now authenticate using their Olvid cryptographic identity as an alternative to standard OpenID Connect, making authentication fully transparent.
- Managed profiles can now also authenticate via a single-use magic link, simplifying the first login flow.
- Replaced the repeated notification authorization prompt with a non-intrusive in-app tip, shown only when relevant.
- Force-press the Olvid app icon to quickly access the scanner and connect with other Olvid users faster than ever.
- Fixed the "Stop sharing" button not working correctly in the location-sharing view inside a message.
- Fixed incorrect tips being shown while sharing your location.
- Resolved an issue that could occur when downloading an attachment received more than three months ago.
- Fixed a graphical issue in the message editing screen.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when editing a sent message.
- Attempting to register or bind a revoked managed profile now displays a specific, actionable error message instead of a generic failure.
- Japanese and Korean are now supported languages.
