Ayoba is a free instant messaging app for Android devices. It’s different from other messaging apps: you can chat to anyone regardless of whether they have the Ayoba app or not.

Ayoba lets you securely send and receive text messages, voice messages, videos, images, audio and other files with any of your contacts, using your mobile internet connection (data). With Ayoba, you always have total control of who you chat with, by letting you easily block and unblock contacts.

We’ve also developed and designed for Africans, by Africans. We celebrate the diversity of Africa by providing a world-class messaging platform that reflects local needs and aspirations.

From the outset, Ayoba has incorporated sophisticated end-to-end encryption to keep our users’ data safe and ensure their privacy. This means that messages in a conversation cannot be read by anyone else, not even the team at Ayoba.

10 great reasons to use Ayoba:

1. FREE TO USE: Ayoba is free to use. You need data to send messages and files to your
contacts, but some networks (e.g. MTN) may provide this data for free too.

2. CHAT NOW: Instantly send and receive text and voice messages with any of your contacts.

3. SECURE: End-to-end encryption means that messages in a conversation cannot be read by anyone else

4. QUICK CONNECT: Use your existing address book to quickly and easily connect you with your contacts

regardless of whether they've installed Ayoba or not
