We often hear about the growing popularity of these social media platforms, but what’s less often reported is that the top global instant messaging apps (e.g. WhatsApp, WeChat, KakaoTalk, etc.) actually have more users and are growing at a faster rate than the top social media platforms.

One of the reasons that chat apps are attractive is that they are encrypted (for the most part) and offer better security and privacy than text messaging. Chat apps like Signal and Telegram in particular do a good job of encrypting data to prevent messages from being intercepted remotely by hackers. However, they fail to protect our data from people who, with or without our permission, gain access to our mobile device. Ravn addresses this security vulnerability. Ravn does not require your name, phone number or email address and doesn’t collect any data. It’s 100% anonymous.
