How to start a chat?

  • Invite a chat partner by clicking on the contact list and sending them your invite message. The invite message will be directly placed in the messenger's textfield.
  • Your chat partner has to add you to their contact list and then send you an encrypted message. Copy this message to your clipboard and click on the "decrypt" button.
  • A new context menu will open where you have to save the name of the chat partner. Then click on the "done" button. The contact is now automatically selected.
