It's designed to be simple, reliable, and private, with end-to-end encryption that keeps your personal messages and calls between you and your intended recipients.

You can share messages, photos, videos, documents, and your live location; send voice notes; and use Status to share updates that disappear after 24 hours.

Pros

Reliable and easy-to-use for everyday messaging, calls, and group chats.
Widely adopted and convenient since most people already use it.
Positive sentiment about features and overall usefulness.
Viewed by some reviewers as one of the best chat apps on iOS.

Cons

Frequent crashes/hangs and freezing, including after updates.
Privacy concerns such as auto-displaying iCloud/profile pictures and uncertain identity of contacts.
Account suspensions or bans are a recurring issue with perceived poor support.
Update/compatibility problems, including issues with iOS 26 and non-functioning auto-updates.

Recent reviews

i've always had issues with it, I was trying to set up a text thread for friends and colleagues from work for a (perfectly legal) home poker game. I needed to add about 30 people to the group, but since I was trying to add a bunch of people at once my account got a six hour ban, as if I was a spam account. When my account was released and I again tried to add my friends to the group, my account was blocked altogether. I submitted for a review, but as of right now I can't use the app at all. What a stupid app that doesn't let you communicate with large groups at a time, which is literally the point. I might as well text everyone separately like I've been doing. Horrible app.
