Midnight Stay in control of who reaches you
We cannot read your chats, so the tools to stop someone are on your phone. Here is what you can do, what we cannot do, and what to tell us.
What you can do
- Keep your contact code on. It is on by default. Knowing your username is not enough to message you: a new person also needs your 6-digit contact code. People you already chat with never need it.
- Choose who can add you. In Settings, under "Who can add me", choose people with your contact code, anyone with your username, or nobody new.
- Change your code. Any time. The old one stops working at once, and the chats you already have keep working.
- Ignore. Drops someone's chat requests for 7 days.
- Block. Drops them until you unblock. Blocking someone you chat with also removes that chat. You can unblock people in Settings.
- Delete a chat. Deleting a chat, or blocking, also stops alerts from that chat.
Block and Ignore stay on your phone. The person is not told, and we never learn who you blocked or ignored.
What we cannot do
We cannot read your messages. They are end-to-end encrypted on your phone, so only the people in the chat can read them. Your chats, contacts and block list live only on your phone, so we have no list of who you talk to. That also means we cannot look at a conversation for you. We will not add a way to read your messages or to see who you talk to.
Like any server that carries traffic, a relay can see when an encrypted message passes, how big it is, and the internet address it comes from. Our Privacy Policy says exactly what.
If you are in danger, contact your local emergency services.
What to report to us
- Scams pretending to be us. Fake support, fake tokens or airdrops, anyone asking for your 24 words. Email support@devbyone.com, or tell us on our Discord. The team never messages anyone first.
- Security problems. Privately, by email to support@devbyone.com. Please do not post them in Discord or anywhere public. Email lets us look at it before anyone else can use it.
- Bugs and ideas. Tell Sky, the AI assistant in our Discord, in #midnight-messenger. See the FAQ for how.
Never post your username, contact code or recovery phrase in public.
