## Description

YOYO Private Chat is a focused encrypted messenger for people who want simple private text conversations without social noise.<br><br>Open a contact, send a message, and keep the conversation clean. Messages are encrypted before leaving your device, and normal chat messages use read-once behavior: after a conversation is opened, they disappear on your chosen timer. Unopened messages expire after 24 hours.<br><br>Why it stands out:<br>- One-to-one encrypted text chat<br>- Read-once messages by default<br>- App password lock for local privacy<br>- Username contacts with local notes<br>- Block, unblock, report, recall, and delete chat history<br>- Privacy-minded push notifications<br>- English, Japanese, and Chinese interface<br><br>Pro unlocks more contact capacity. Encryption strength is the same for free and Pro users.<br><br>YOYO Private Chat intentionally stays simple. It does not include group chat, public people search, social feeds, images, files, voice, video, read receipts, typing status, or online status.<br><br>Security note: YOYO Private Chat is designed to keep plaintext message bodies off the server. No app can promise absolute security, so keep your device and password protected.
