No signal? No problem.

Find people right around you.

Chirping discovers phones nearby over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. No SIM, mobile data or Wi-Fi network needed.

Phone to phone

Chat like you're online.

Messages, photos, stickers and groups travel straight between phones within about 30–100 m. In a lecture hall, on a trek, in the metro.

It waits for you

Out of range? It'll catch up.

Messages send themselves the moment you're back in range. And when you are online, Chirping is a full messenger.

Every message, call, Chipchip and file is end-to-end encrypted. Your chats live only on your phone, and an optional backup to your own Google Drive is locked with your passphrase. The server relays encrypted messages and deletes each one the moment it's delivered. No ads. No trackers. No selling your data.

Questions

Good to know.

Does it really work without internet?

Yes. When phones are close together (about 30–100 m), Chirping connects them directly over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi using Google's Nearby Connections, the same technology behind Quick Share. Both phones need Chirping open, with Bluetooth and Location turned on.

Why does it ask for Location?

Android requires the Location permission to discover nearby devices over Bluetooth. Chirping only reads your location if you choose to send it in a chat; it goes end-to-end encrypted to that chat and isn't stored on our servers.

Is Chirping free?

Yes. Chirping is free. Chats, calls and Chipchip have no ads or trackers; Chirps, the public communities, shows a few ads from Google between posts to help cover running costs. Online mode just needs a free account with your phone number or email.

Who can read my messages?

Only the people in the chat. Messages, calls, stories and files are end-to-end encrypted on your phone, and your chats are stored only on your phone. Read the privacy policy for the details.

Can I back up my chats?

Yes, if you want to. Settings → Chat Backup saves your chats (and, if you choose, photos and videos) to your own Google Drive, encrypted on your phone with a passphrase only you know. Neither Google nor Chirping can read it, and if you forget the passphrase it can't be restored.

What are channels?

Channels are one-way: their admins post and anyone can subscribe to read and get notified. They're public, like Chirps, so they aren't end-to-end encrypted. Your private chats and groups always are.

Is it on iPhone?

Not yet. Chirping is available for Android 8.0 and up on Google Play.

Stay connected.
Signal or not.

Free on Google Play. No ads in your chats.
