Privacy

Your profile stays
private.

When you add someone as a contact just to send a message, they can see your profile photo, status, and last seen. DirectChat skips that entirely — you chat without exposing anything.

  • No profile photo exposed
  • No last seen or status shared
  • Keep your address book clean
PROFILE HIDDEN
Multi-Platform

WhatsApp, SMS,
Telegram — pick yours.

Switch between messaging platforms with a single tap. DirectChat also auto-detects your country code and shows the flag — and if you copy text with a phone number, only the digits are pasted.

Frequently asked

Everything you need to know before downloading.

What is DirectChat?

DirectChat is an iOS app that lets you send WhatsApp, SMS, and Telegram messages without adding the recipient to your contacts. Just enter or paste a phone number, tap chat, and start messaging — your profile stays private.

How does DirectChat protect my privacy?

When you send a message through DirectChat, your profile photo, last seen status, and about info remain hidden from the recipient because they are not saved as a contact. You control what you share and when.

Does DirectChat work with SMS and Telegram?

Yes. DirectChat supports WhatsApp, SMS (via the Messages app), and Telegram. You can switch between them with a segmented control in the app.

Is DirectChat free?

Yes, DirectChat is free to download and use. The free version lets you send messages without saving contacts, use smart clipboard, and keep your last recent. A one-time Premium purchase unlocks unlimited recents, scheduled messages, biometric lock, notes, widgets, and removes ads.

What are Premium features?

DirectChat Premium is a lifetime license that unlocks: unlimited saved recents, scheduled messages via local notifications, notes attached to numbers, biometric or passcode app lock, home screen widgets, preset country and area codes, and ad removal.

Does DirectChat need access to my contacts?

No. DirectChat does not require access to your contacts to work. It only needs a phone number to open a chat. If you choose to add someone to your contacts later, it will ask for permission at that point.
