From thought to channel, without delivering the content in plain text

How to encrypt a message before it enters a chat

Both people use Layergram and verify their identities once. You then choose which messages to protect: compose and encrypt the content in Layergram, send the protected form through your usual channel, and let the recipient decrypt it on their device.

Only you and the chosen person can read the real content of the message you write

01

Choose a person

Layergram works between identities that are known and verified. You don't need a central directory: you decide who enters the conversation.

02

Create and exchange identities

Everyone creates or restores their own identity. Exchange the full link or QR and check the verification together.

03

Write the content in Layergram

Important text begins in the protected space. With Premium, you can also use the in-app keyboard instead of the system keyboard, including a version with a randomized key layout.

04

Choose the form of transport

Direct payload, link or cover message. Change the shape; the content remains encrypted before sharing.

05

Share in the usual chat

The platform carries what you give it. It can still know that two users exchanged a message at a given time.

06

Open and decrypt in Layergram

The recipient brings the content into the app. Only the correct identity can open it on their device.

Chat encryption and content encryption

Layergram does not enable WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption. It adds a separate layer to text you compose in Layergram before sharing it. The carrier receives the protected form but can still retain contacts, timing and other metadata. To use the keyboard, enable it on iOS or Android, insert the encrypted text and press the chat's Send button.

Encryption, cover messages and hidden chats

Encryption makes content readable to the intended recipient's identity. Steganography aims to make hidden content less noticeable: Layergram's app can use a cover message, but technical analysis may detect it. Archiving or locking a chat belongs to the messaging app. These are different choices; the Layergram system keyboard currently offers encrypted text only.
