Pluto · Safety
Coming soon · 1 DecWhy it’s safer
Most messengers start with your phone number and your contacts. Pluto starts with privacy — encrypted messages, spam-free invites, and a name you choose instead of a number everyone already has.

How Pluto protects you
End-to-end encrypted
Messages are locked for the people in the chat. Pluto isn’t designed to read your conversations, and neither should anyone sitting between your devices.
No phone number required
Sign in with Google and choose a Pluto name. Friends find you by handle — your phone number never becomes your public identity on the network.
Spam-free by design
No “upload your whole address book so we can blast everyone” growth loop. You choose who to add. Quieter chats, on purpose.
Chats live on your phone
History stays on-device. Pluto doesn’t keep a readable cloud copy of your messages. Uninstall or wipe data and they’re gone — unless you’ve saved a backup first.
Private notifications
Message peeks stay off until you turn them on. Your lock screen doesn’t have to advertise every conversation.
Backups you control
Optional encrypted backups use a passphrase you choose. Keep a locked copy in Drive app data or as a local file — Google doesn’t get the key.
The difference
What you don’t have to give up
Pluto
- Google sign-in + a Pluto name you choose
- Add people deliberately, by handle
- Built to stay spam-free
- Encrypted chats that live on your phone
