Ameeba Chat
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Ameeba Chat?
Ameeba Chat is an anonymous, encrypted messenger designed for people who want secure communication without exposing personal information. You communicate using aliases instead of phone numbers or emails, and every message, call, and file is protected with end-to-end encryption.
Do I need a phone number or email to use Ameeba?
No. Ameeba uses patented authentication technology that allows you to sign up without providing any personal information. There is no phone number verification, no email registration, and no identity tied to your account.
How does Ameeba protect my identity?
Ameeba separates communication from personal identity. Your alias is not linked to your real name, phone number, email, or contacts. Ameeba does not log IP addresses or store personal identifiers. All communication is encrypted and only accessible to you and your intended recipients.
Is Ameeba's authentication secure?
Yes. Ameeba's patented authentication system verifies users anonymously while preventing impersonation and unauthorized access. It protects your sessions without requiring or exposing personal data.
What is an alias?
An alias is your private identity in Ameeba Chat. Instead of using your real name or phone number, you choose an alias that represents you. All communication happens through aliases, keeping your real identity private.
Can I have multiple aliases?
Yes. You can create multiple aliases and switch between them at any time. This allows you to maintain different identities for different groups, communities, or contexts.
What is alias categorization?
Alias categorization lets you organize your aliases into separate groups such as Friends, Family, Work, or Communities. This helps you control which alias communicates with which people.
Why should I categorize my aliases?
Categorizing aliases helps you streamline communication and maintain privacy boundaries. By separating different aspects of your life into categories, you ensure that only the intended contacts can reach a specific alias.
How does alias categorization enhance privacy?
Alias categorization enhances privacy by preventing cross-communication. Only the contacts assigned to a specific alias can communicate with that identity. This keeps conversations compartmentalized and private.
