About this app

At xPal, we lead in enabling free expression online by safeguarding user privacy through ultra-secure end-to-end encrypted communications. Our platform empowers you to start over without leaving traces behind, terminate unwanted communications without regret, and erase history as if it never happened.

Members get a unique 9-digit xID that allows them to securely and anonymously text, audio/video call any other xID in the world. No phone number or personal info is associated with your account, and not required, making communication totally anonymous, secure and private.

Free accounts get unlimited secure end-to-end texting and unlimited secure audio calls, as well as 1 hour of secure video calls daily.

YOUR GLOBAL XID™:
Our platform is built with bulletproof security and privacy measures to give our users peace of mind. The xIDÂŽ, a unique 9-digit global communication passport, empowers you to securely text and make audio and video calls worldwide, to other xIDs without needing country or area codes. Your xIDÂŽ serves as your digital armor, protecting your privacy and maintaining your anonymity whenever and wherever you choose.

EASY TO INSTALL AND SHARE FOR END-TO-END ENCRYPTED COMMUNICATIONS:
Simply install the xPal app in 2 easy steps: choose a username and set a PIN code. You do not need your cell phone number or email to get your free xID. Once you receive it, invite your friends, family or colleagues to get their own xIDs and begin securely communicating with each other from anywhere in the world.

TOTAL ANONYMITY - DESIGNED FOR YOUR COMPLETE PRIVACY:
We DO NOT access your phone’s contacts. We DO NOT ask for, collect, trace or store any data or personal information (not your name, phone number, photo id, location).

SINGLE MESSAGE OR ENTIRE CONVERSATION ERASE from all participants – The ability to delete any single text message, an entire conversation or chat history, on your device or from all participants so that no trace is left behind. Deleting entire conversations includes deleting the other party’s conversation with you on their own device as well.

Terminate™ Feature:
gives you the ultimate control over your conversations by permanently erasing an entire chat history—not just from your device, but also from the recipient’s device. This means that both your messages and their replies are completely wiped out, leaving no trace behind.

Flicker™ Mode:
DISAPPEARING MESSAGES – This feature can be enabled on a per-chat basis. Use this security feature to automatically delete messages from both sender and receiver devices after a preset length of time after they are seen. You choose the life of the message

Total Wipeout™
REVERSE PIN FOR IMMEDIATE RESET PROTECTION – When you need a quick and total reset, use our exclusive one-step Reverse PIN security feature to permanently delete all your xPal message history on ALL devices. This includes all messages sent to others, as well as their own conversations with you, from their own phone. In addition, this feature will instantly block/mask information about your contacts.

Photo & Video Sanitizer™
Built into xPal, this feature automatically strips all metadata from shared media before it is encrypted and sent.

4-DIGIT PIN RE-AUTHENTICATION is used every time the app is closed, the screen is locked, or the user’s phone is turned off. Can be temporarily disabled for 12-hours.

INFORMATION HANDLING

xPal is a nice addition in the secure comm arena. It has excellent secure messaging features, all presented in an attractive interface. The support team was very friendly, responsive, and generously accommodating of a rather nerdy request. :-) Its security has been audited independently, with the results openly available on their website. I use THREEMA, and xPal will be in a place of similar prominence in my secure comm toolbox. Give it a tryout: in my opinion it would be time well spent.

Messages won't send, it's just an empty message. I do not understand where all the positive reviews for an app that doesn't work half of the time come from, and it's not only my case I spoke with multiple xPal users and all share the same issues. And because of this shady positive comments other users download this half broken app. I honestly do not recommend this app, lots of shady positive comments for something that barely works.

5 ⭐ for security and privacy features. 2.5 ⭐ for Functionalities. Messages are slow to deliver or receive, and this can be very frustrating. No typing indicator. No ringing sound when making calls, and there is no confirmation when making a phone call even if it was mistakenly made. Notification is using media volume ignoring DND. Cannot switch back and forth between voice and video calls. People on free tier cannot video call you if you are a gold member, when their FAQ says otherwise.
