Privacy and Security

Messaging apps make it easy to stay in touch with family and friends via text messages. These apps can compromise privacy and security. uTox, a messaging app, offers greater security for its users.

Interface

uTox's lightweight and simple interface means that it is portable and doesn't require any extra security or speed. The interface is a simple black-and-white chat group. You can create a chat group to send text or use voice.

Security

uTox's purpose is to provide users with a messaging application that doesn't rely on central servers. Instead, the system works peer-to-peer. The app also comes with end-toend encryption that is impossible to remove.

IP addresses

People who have not been added to their friends' list do not have access to the IP addresses of users. uTox doesn't hide IP addresses once they are added. uTox is a peer-to–peer network. Tor allows users to tunnel their connection with friends, if they want additional security.

Simple, but secure

Despite its simplicity, uTox can be a useful app for those who want more privacy and security when they communicate with their friends. The most difficult part of using uTox is adding friends, but even that is not too difficult. Even those with limited technical knowledge can still use the app. uTox will make sure that there are no security breaches during communication.
