Inspect the APK

Have this app's APK or XAPK file? Upload it to see the ad & analytics SDKs it bundles, a hidden home-screen launcher or accessibility access, the AdMob app id, and the full permission list — read straight from the file, nothing installed. Bring the file from your device or a mirror; we never fetch it from Google Play.

Full description

Forta Chat is a private, decentralized messenger built for people who want real control over their conversations. Sign in with your Bastyon account — no usernames, no passwords, no phone number required. Your chats are end-to-end encrypted. Messages, media, and metadata stay on your device first, then sync securely in the background. You can keep chatting even when the connection is unstable. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Private 1:1 and group chats with end-to-end encryption • Voice and video calls — talk face to face, one-to-one or in a group • Send photos, videos, voice notes, video circles, and files • React to messages, create polls, edit or delete what you sent • Join public rooms or invite friends with a link • Share content from other apps straight into Forta Chat • Stay productive offline — messages queue and send when you’re back online PRIVACY BY DESIGN Forta Chat is built on the Matrix protocol with Bastyon integration. Your identity is tied to your Bastyon private key, not to email or SMS. Conversations are encrypted so only you and the people you talk to can read them. CROSS-PLATFORM Use Forta Chat on Android, and keep the same account on the web at forta.chat and on desktop. Your conversations stay with you wherever you are. WHO IT’S FOR Whether you want a more private everyday messenger, a Bastyon-friendly chat app, or a decentralized alternative to mainstream messengers — Forta Chat is built for you.
