Mingle Chat has moved to a new address, introducing an updated version of its encrypted messaging platform built entirely on the Internet Computer network.
The platform is designed around device-based key management, with messages stored as ciphertext on the network rather than being accessible to a central operator. According to Mingle Chat, encryption keys remain on users’ devices, removing the need for a traditional server-based messaging setup.
The latest version adds several features, including shared shopping lists, voice calls between devices and integration with Oisy Wallet, allowing users to send tokens directly within conversations without switching between applications.
Users can create group chats, join communities by scanning a code, share voice notes, post temporary stories that disappear after a day and set reminders for unanswered messages. The platform also includes unread counts for communities, helping users keep track of active conversations.
Mingle Chat is available as a web application that can be added to a device’s home screen and used like a regular app. The service remains in beta, with the team noting that users may encounter areas still being refined.
Existing users who move to the new version need to remove the previous app icon, open the updated address through Safari, add it back to their home screen and sign in again. Account details, contacts, communities and wallet connections will carry over, while previous chats will not appear because encryption keys remain tied to the user’s device.
The move reflects a wider interest in messaging services that give users greater control over their data and how communications are managed. As encrypted applications continue to evolve, developers are exploring alternatives to traditional messaging models that rely heavily on centralised infrastructure.
