About Us

In UmiChat, no one can add you as a contact without your permission. You can only be invited into a chat from someone you know. You can be unsearchable for as long as you want at your convenience. UmiChat prides itself as a NON-invasive messenger app, you are in full control of who you are interacting with and in a manner you desire.

UmiChat V1.0 was launched in November 2019. We are in operations since early 2019 and remain dedicated to realising the goals set forth for UmiChat. We conceptualised UmiChat to be an integrated smart platform that aims to provide comprehensive solutions for our users, including the provision of crypto-enabled wallets, chatbot services for businesses and brands, and simplified payment solutions, all done without compromising security nor privacy of our users.

Security & Privacy

UmiChat seeks to provide our users with a communication platform that is secure and reliable. The following are the main highlights of such features on top of many more

End-to-End Encryption

Our end-to-end encryption is always activated to ensure your messages, photos, videos, voice messages, documents, status updates and calls are secured from falling into the wrong hands. Only you and the recipient have the special keys needed to unlock and read your messages. For added protection, every message you send has a unique lock and key. UmiChat will never have access to your chat data

Server Storage

No message data is ever stored on our servers. If recipients are offline, the message is delivered as soon as they come online and all associated data is subsequently deleted from our servers

VPN Network (Paid Services)

UmiChat VPN directs its traffic through an overlay network consisting of server relays to conceal a user's location and usage, with protection from attempted network surveillance or traffic analysis. This serves as an added layer of anonymous communication to safeguard user’s privacy with unrestricted access to UmiChat

Personal Encryption Devices

As with most secured chat apps, private keys are usually stored within the user’s mobile devices, which engender physical and/or remote attacks on the device itself. Thus, the impetus of this solution is to isolate the storage of private keys outside of the device and mitigate the implications of such attacks
UmiChat intends to launch a series of Bluetooth enabled Personal Encryption Devices, that are compact, modular, and isolated for the external storage of secure private keys. This serves as an added layer of security for users to circumvent data breaches, and deter attacks from the extraction of data on mobile devices, SIM swap or even password breach

UMICHAT Features

UMI Bot Services

UMI Bot Services are intended for businesses to connect with users via conversational commerce, through a simple and intuitive setup. Any users can make use of our UMI Bot Services to spice up their day-to-day interactions with friends or loved ones. Chatbots can be added to any chats by the creator or any user accounts that have been granted permission. Chatbots can be called out by the @ function and will be able to reply to users with text, links, videos, files and images.

Group Payment

The group payment function is a fast, effective and secure way to help an individual create money pools. It can handle a variety of payment scenarios: to raise funds for a group purchase, or for regular shared expenses whereby payments can be requested and shared with friends and family with specific settings. Most money pooling apps use fiat currencies, while UmiChat gives users the option to collect payment via digital currencies without cross-border limitations.

Stickers & Creators’ Market

UmiChat creators’ market is a platform for content creators around the world to create and sell their stickers and themes. After passing UmiChat‘s review process, creators’ stickers become available on the official online Umi Store. UmiChat creators' market aims to connect creators globally and rewards creators by offering flexible commission schemes whereby stickers that garnered more downloads will get a higher percentage payout thus encouraging creators to create quality content in the marketplace.

Pattern Lock ,
Touch ID/Face ID Lock

Pattern Lock, Touch ID Lock & Face ID Lock are optional security functions available to our users on top of SMS OTP authentication for login.

Chat Burn

For one-to-one chats, a user can send text, images, voice recordings, etc that will self destruct after the recipient has viewed the content.

Translation Bot Services

To be a truly global platform, UmiChat will introduce translation bot services that provide users with real-time translation within a chat itself. Users can also rest assured that the conversation remains private and encrypted, having no chat data stored at our servers.

UMI Game

Offering mini-games in UmiChat is an excellent way to engage users through casual gaming in a social networking manner, a proven method to increase daily active users. UMI aims to first develop its first few mini- games before embarking on releasing an open platform for game developers to enrich users‘ gaming experience.

UMI Wallet

Simple Steps to Own Your Crypto Wallet

We make it fuss-free for UmiChat users to own and manage their crypto wallets, simply by registering user accounts with us. Users can also carry out transactions with peers that are made easier over our one-to-one in-chat exchange function.

An in-chat crypto-to-crypto exchange can be easily executed between peers simply by having one party initiating a transaction request, that can be completed within seconds. Thus providing the option of a fast and secure peer-to-peer crypto exchange platform for our users, achievable at minimal transaction fees.
