BlackChat

BlackChat is a FREE messaging app. It’s proudly South Africa run. It’s simple, reliable, and private, so you can easily keep in touch with your friends and family with no subscription fees.

Welcome to BlackChat, the first proudly South African messaging service for the people of Africa and the world.

Private messaging across the nation.

Your personal messages and calls to friends and family are end-to-end encrypted. No one outside of your chats, not even BlackChat, can read or listen to them.

Simple and secure connections, straight away

All you need is your phone number, no usernames or logins. You can quickly view your contacts who are already on BlackChat and start messaging, or invite more friends to chat.

Group chats to keep you in contact.

Stay in touch with your friends and family. End-to-end encrypted group chats let you share messages, photos, videos, and documents across your phones.

Stay connected in real time.

Share your location with only those in your individual or group chat, and stop sharing at any time. Or record a voice message to connect quickly.

Share daily moments through status posts.

Status posts allow you to share text, photos, videos, and GIF updates that disappear after 24 hours. You can choose to share status posts with all your contacts or just selected ones.
