ShazzleChat puts you in charge of delivering your messages, which is what gives you complete privacy. Shazzle does NOT send out your message, because we never receive it from you. It is your message, not ours. What this means, is that you are your own server.
If you have a problem with your phone, or your internet connection, your messages cannot be delivered. This is not a bug in Shazzle however it can be frustrating, this is a function of your device, or your connection. For more information on how Shazzle works please visit https://www.shazzle.com/who-is-shazzle.
No, ShazzleChat is a peer-to-peer network created to insure privacy between parties. Therefore all parties must have the application to join the network.
ShazzleChat is simple to permanently delete both your account, history, and all messages. For iOS please press the ShazzleChat icon and follow the instructions to delete. Android works the same.
There is no file size limit with ShazzleChat. The only limitations to ShazzleChat is the device and your connectivity. We recommend you delete images or videos or set them to delete to save space on your local device. ShazzleChat does not store any content so be careful, once deleted, always deleted.
No, ShazzleChat handles one account per device. You may use multiple devices to create additional accounts.
Shazzle never receives or creates a record of your messages. The ShazzleChat network simply delivers your internet protocol (IP) address to your receiver so the two of may establish a direct connection (like a VPN -Virtual Private Network). When you send an encrypted message that Shazzle never touches these messages travel directly from your mobile device to your receiver’s mobile device without ever touching our gear. This guarantees message privacy.
