Post and follow
Share text, photos and video, follow the people you care about, and reply in the open.
Direct messages
Conversations that carry more than text, and a plain answer about how they are protected.
One person or several
A conversation can be between two people or a group. It is the same surface either way, so nothing has to be re-learned when a thread grows.
What you can send
Photos, video, voice notes and files, alongside text. A voice note is recorded in the conversation rather than attached to it.
Knowing it arrived
Read receipts tell you when a message was read, and typing indicators show when the other person is composing one.
Changing your mind
You can edit a message after sending it, and you can delete one.
How messages are protected, precisely
PulseSoc messages are not end-to-end encrypted. They are encrypted in transit, which means the connection between your phone and our servers is protected by TLS in the same way a banking website is. It does not mean we are unable to read them.
Messages are stored on our servers in a form we can access — which is what makes it possible to act on a report, restore an account, or answer a lawful request. If you need a conversation that the operator of the service mathematically cannot read, PulseSoc is not the right tool for it, and we would rather say so on this page than in a support ticket.
Questions
- Are PulseSoc messages end-to-end encrypted?
- No. Messages are encrypted in transit with TLS, but they are stored on our servers in a form we can access. PulseSoc is not an end-to-end encrypted messenger and does not claim to be.
- Can I unsend a message?
- You can delete a message after sending it, and you can edit one instead if you would rather correct it than remove it.
- Can I send voice notes?
- Yes. Voice notes are recorded inside the conversation, alongside photos, video and files.
