Blocked Users

Here you can see all contacts you have blocked:

On mobile app:

Use the search box at the top of the page to quickly find a blocked user by their email address. Click on the blocked contact to see the conversation with them

Copy Your Recovery Key

Your Recovery Key is used to restore access to your encrypted messages if you sign in on a new device or lose access to your existing one.

Keep this key in a safe place. Anyone with this key may be able to access your encrypted message history.

On mobile app:

Copy Your Public Key

Your Public Key is a unique identifier used to verify your encrypted identity. It is safe to share and is mainly used when verifying secure conversations or troubleshooting encryption issues. Most users do not need to use it during everyday chatting.

Besides, on the mobile app, you can protect Twake Chat with a 4-digit PIN to prevent unauthorized access. See: Lock/Unlock your Twake Chat app
