## Description

Send messages, files, photos, and locations over amateur radio using your iPhone or iPad.

Radio Messenger brings modern conversation to packet radio. Whether you are using APRS or experimenting on a local frequency, the app is built around messaging first, not beacons and maps.

Use Radio Messenger with supported Bluetooth radios, KISS TNCs, or integrated modem with an audio adapter to stay connected when cell coverage is unavailable or simply not the point.

Two messaging modes. One app.

APRS Messaging
Works with the existing APRS ecosystem. Send messages with acknowledgements, retries, delivery tracking, and optional Message Continuity tap into store and forward and internet delivery to help messages reach you even when you are away from the radio.

Enhanced Messaging
A modern radio-only messaging mode for direct conversations. Includes verifiable identity, delivery acknowledgements, read receipts, reactions, and support for longer messages.

Features

• Messaging focused
Conversations, contacts, and multi-device sync designed to feel familiar and easy to use.

• Location sharing
Share your location or drop a labeled pin directly in a conversation. No automatic beaconing. You choose when and what to share.

• Offline maps
Maps are cached automatically so shared locations remain visible when you are off-grid.

• Presence & On Air
See who is active and recently heard. Share a short status and emoji so others know you are around.

• File & image sharing
Send photos and documents in Enhanced Messaging conversations. Recipients can accept or decline transfers.

• Identity & verification
Verify who sent a message and manage trusted identities for more confident communication.

• Search & inbox tools
Find conversations by name, callsign, or message content. Pin threads, mute alerts, and manage your inbox with ease.

• Radio native
Built for Bluetooth radios and external TNCs, with frequency control available on supported hardware.

Radio Messenger is designed for licensed amateur radio operators and requires compatible radio.
