Frequently Asked Questions

Is Vytra really free?

Yes — Vytra is 100% free. There are no paid plans, subscriptions or hidden charges. Sending messages, sharing photos, making calls and creating groups all cost nothing.

Is Vytra secure and private?

Private chats are end-to-end encrypted, which means messages are locked on your device and can only be read by you and the person you are chatting with. You can also lock individual chats with a password, block contacts and report abuse.

Can I create group chats?

Yes. Create a group, invite members with a link, add admins with custom permissions, pin important messages and chat with everyone at once — including group voice and video calls.

Can I chat with people in other countries?

Absolutely. Vytra works worldwide — sign up from any of 195+ countries and find anyone by their unique @username, no matter where they live. The nearby feature also shows people around you sorted by distance.

Do I need to download an app?

No. Vytra works in any modern browser on any phone or computer. On mobile you can also install it as an app from the browser menu — it then runs full-screen like a native app.

Can I make voice and video calls?

Yes — free 1-to-1 voice and video calls, plus group calls. You can mute, switch speakers, flip the camera and even use picture-in-picture during video calls.

How does encryption work?

Vytra uses ECDH P-256 key exchange + AES-256-GCM encryption. Your private key is generated in your browser, encrypted with your password (PBKDF2, 150k iterations), and backed up to the server. The server never sees your raw key or message content.

Can I use Vytra on multiple devices?

Yes. Each device auto-provisions its own encryption key. You can log in from any browser on any device and start chatting immediately.
