No ads, no tracking
We do not show ads, sell your data, use an advertising ID or track you across other apps and websites. No profile is built from what you do.
Just your people. No one watching.
Whisper is a private photo widget for the people closest to you. Photos, voice notes and videos land right on their Home Screen and disappear after a day, and nothing you do is ever turned into a profile.

Whisper and social media, side by side
| On social media | On Whisper | |
|---|---|---|
| Who sees it | Followers, strangers and the algorithm | Only the person you sent it to |
| What you see | Whatever keeps you scrolling | What your people sent, and nothing else |
| What you do | Turned into an ad profile | No ads, and no profile |
| How long it lasts | Kept, often for good | Gone a day after it is opened |
| Signing up | Often your phone number and contacts | Neither. Sign in with Apple or Google. |
| Who pays | Advertisers, who buy your attention | You, if you choose Unlimited. Otherwise, it is free. |

Read the privacy policyEnd-to-end encrypted
Whispers are encrypted on your phone with keys that never leave it. We cannot read them.
Gone after a day
Once a whisper is opened it can be replayed for 24 hours, then it disappears. Anything unopened expires after seven days.

Questions
Something else? See Support.
Do we both need an iPhone?
Yes. Whisper is an iPhone app for iOS 18 or later, and you both need it to add each other.
How do I add the widget?
Touch and hold an empty spot on your Home Screen, tap Edit, then Add Widget, and choose Whisper. The app walks you through it.
Can I add more than one friend?
Yes. Up to four friends, or twelve with Whisper Unlimited.
Is Whisper for couples or friends?
Both. Whisper is for the few people you are closest to: a partner, a best friend, family far away.
Is it free?
Yes. Whisper Unlimited is an optional subscription that adds video whispers, longer voice notes and room for more friends. It starts with a 7-day free trial.
How does Whisper make money?
From Whisper Unlimited, an optional subscription. That is the whole business: there are no ads, and your data is not for sale.
Do you need my phone number or contacts?
No. You sign in with Apple or Google and add friends by sharing a link or a code. Whisper never asks for your number and never opens your contacts.
Can Whisper read my messages?
No. Whispers are end-to-end encrypted on your phone, so our servers only ever hold a sealed copy they cannot open.
