Not yet
What Veep doesn’t do (yet)
- End-to-end encryption for photos, files and group chats. Today it covers one-to-one secret chats (text), and calls are always encrypted. More on security.
- A native iPhone app. On iPhone, use the web app from your Home Screen.
- Google Play. For now, the Android app is a direct download from web.veep.chat.
Ready when you are.
Get the Android app, or open Veep in your browser. Your friends can use either.
