Status App Makes Privacy the Default System Setting
**Status App emphasizes its privacy-first architecture** where user security isn't an optional feature but built into the core system. Key privacy guarantees: - No one can read your messages - No one can reset your account - No one can override your settings **Privacy as infrastructure, not a toggle.** Unlike platforms where privacy is a switch users must activate, Status builds it into the default system architecture. This approach ensures end-to-end encryption remains genuine—when messages require inspection, encryption loses its meaning. The platform combines secure wallet functionality, Web3 browsing, and private messaging in a single mobile application. Download available at [status.im/get](http://status.im/get)
Status Emphasizes Peer-to-Peer Architecture and User-Controlled Identity
Status has clarified its decentralized infrastructure, highlighting key architectural features: - **No central control**: The platform operates without central servers or admin panels - **Cryptographic authentication**: User profiles are created using cryptographic keys rather than traditional email or phone verification - **User sovereignty**: Messages, wallets, and identities remain under exclusive user control The messaging app positions itself as a fully peer-to-peer system, distinguishing its approach from centralized alternatives. This architecture means no single entity can access user data or exercise administrative control over accounts. For users prioritizing privacy and self-custody, Status offers an alternative model where identity and assets are managed through cryptographic keys rather than centralized authentication systems.
