Briar

The Briar utility for Android mobile gadgets allows you to exchange text messages. Unlike WhatsApp and similar programs, no centralized servers are used to store data.

Authorization

To use the messenger, you need to specify a login and enter a password. Then the user has the opportunity to add other users to the contact list. To do this, it is necessary to specify the links received from them.

Text messaging

This messenger transmits messages directly. Since the information is not stored on servers, it functions stably even when blocked. Secure Tor protocols are used to send data. If routing is blocked, the messenger can function through the nearest Wi-Fi or Bluetooth networks.

Functionality

Users are available in the corresponding section to enable notifications about the receipt of new messages. In addition, it is possible to protect the entrance to the messenger using a password. The application provides a panic button. When pressing a combination of keys, all correspondence and information about contacts is deleted from the smartphone. It is also possible to select networks for the transfer of information. There is a function of auto-lock access in case of prolonged inactivity.
