What is Secrely?

Secrely is the next-gen anonymous messaging app that empowers your connections like never before. Forget basic DMs – Secrely provides you with a unique, personal link. Share it anywhere, and let anyone send you secret, anonymous messages directly to your inbox.

But here's where it gets truly interesting: If you're intrigued by an anonymous message, and the sender has enabled replies, you can step into a private, anonymous chat right within the app. This means you can dive deeper into meaningful conversations, explore new connections, or get honest feedback, all while maintaining full control over your identity until you choose to reveal it.

Secrely lets you:

  • Receive anonymous messages: Get unfiltered thoughts, compliments, or questions via your unique personal link.
  • Engage anonymously: If allowed by the sender, transform intriguing anonymous messages into real-time, private, anonymous conversations.
  • Control your reveal: Your identity stays secret until you decide to show it.
  • Connect authentically: Experience deeper interactions, free from the pressures of identity.

It's not just messaging; it's a new way to connect, explore, and express yourself with genuine freedom.

Is my identity anonymous?

Yes, your personal identity is always completely anonymous when you send messages on Secrely. When you send a message through a user's unique link, we ensure that 'who' you are is never revealed.

Here is how our anonymity works:

  • Hidden Personal Details: The recipient will never see your name, username, email, or profile picture (in the context of a conversation between the sender and the recipient).
  • Message Context: To keep the platform safe and engaging, the recipient may only see general context such as whether the sender is a Guest or Registered user, and an approximate region (e.g., City). This provides a hint without revealing your actual identity.
  • Privacy by design: Our system is engineered to protect your core identity from the moment you send a message, while our device fingerprinting works silently in the background solely to prevent abuse and block harassment.

While we protect your identity, we always advise users to be mindful of the information they manually type into their messages, as no digital system can prevent self-disclosure.

Can I control who sends me messages?

Yes, you have control over who can send you messages and how you manage unwanted communication on Secrely.

While you don't set granular pre-approval modes, you can manage your incoming messages effectively:

  • Disable your anonymous link: You can deactivate your unique Secrely link at any time if you wish to stop receiving any new anonymous messages.
  • Report & Block unwanted senders: If you receive messages containing harsh language or anything inappropriate, you can easily report the sender. Once reported, you also have the option to block them, preventing them from sending you any further messages until you choose to unblock them.

You can manage your blocked users list in Settings > Security Control. This empowers you to maintain a comfortable and safe experience on Secrely.

Can I reply to messages?

Yes, you can initiate a two-way conversation on Secrely, provided the sender has enabled the reply option for their anonymous message.

When you receive a message:

  • Check for reply option: Not all anonymous messages are designed for immediate replies. If the sender has enabled it, you will see an option to start reply a chat.
  • Engage anonymously: If the reply option is available, you can respond, and the conversation will continue as an anonymous chat, maintaining your privacy.
  • Optional Identity Reveal: Within an ongoing anonymous chat, you have the choice to reveal your identity to the other party at any point, should you feel comfortable doing so.
  • Manage unwanted messages: You always have the option to choose not to reply and archive the conversation, or block the sender if you do not wish to receive further messages from them.

This ensures that while you can engage in deeper conversations, the level of interaction is initially set by the sender, giving them control over their anonymous outreach.

How do I report abuse?

We take abuse seriously and have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, threats, and inappropriate content. To report abuse:

  1. Open the conversation with the problematic message

  2. Tap hamburger menu in the top right corner

  3. Select "Report" from the menu

  4. Choose the reason for reporting and provide any additional details

  5. Submit your report

Our trust and safety team reviews all reports within 24 hours. You can also block users immediately to prevent further contact.

Note: Even for anonymous messages, we maintain encrypted records that can be used to identify and ban users who violate our community guidelines. Your safety is our priority.

  1. Download the app from the Google Play

  2. Open the app and tap "Sign Up"

  3. Enter your email address for verification

What message types does Secrely support?

Secrely supports a variety of message types to make your conversations engaging:

For Incoming Anonymous Messages (Inbox):
Text messages: Standard text with support for emojis.
Music: Anonymous messages can include embedded music content.
For Anonymous Chats (Two-way conversations):
Text messages: Standard text with support for emojis, enabling fluid dialogue.
Important Note: The type of content you can send when initiating an anonymous message (via a link) determines what the recipient receives in their inbox. If an anonymous chat is established, communication within that chat is primarily text-based with emoji support to ensure a focused and private dialogue.
How secure are my messages?

Security is a top priority at Secrely. Here's how we protect your messages:

  • End-to-end encryption: All messages are encrypted so only you and the recipient can read them.
  • Zero-Knowledge Storage: Messages are securely stored in our database in an encrypted format using a key locked by your password. We never see your raw password, which means if you lose it, your messages cannot be recovered by anyone, including us.
  • Abuse Reporting Retention: Messages reported for abuse may be retained temporarily in an encrypted state for review by our trust and safety team, in accordance with our Terms of Use.
Security Tip: While we implement strong security measures, remember that the recipient of your messages could still share their content through other means. Always be mindful of what you send.

We are committed to continuously improving our security measures to provide a safe, private, and truly tamper-proof messaging environment.
