Zangi Private Messenger

Private messenger with end-to-end encrypted calls and messages.

Zangi Private Messenger is a communication application that routes calls and messages through a private number using end-to-end encryption. It addresses concerns around data collection and surveillance by storing communication data only on the user's device rather than on servers, and does not require a personal mobile number for registration.

The application includes voice and video calls, file and media transfer, and text messaging. It uses a proprietary protocol called Zangi Streaming Control Protocol for data delivery, along with Streaming Control technology for call quality and Multichannel Transfer technology for file transfers. Security features include three-level encryption, protocol-level encryption, and VPN tunneling. The platform is available on Apple, Google, and Huawei app stores.

Zangi is designed for individuals seeking private communication with friends and family. The app is available as a free download, with registration assigning a 10-digit virtual number.
