Burner
Burner is a feature that allows instantly calling or chatting with non-Cyph-users. Anyone you chat with can remain anonymous, Cyph's end-to-end encrypted Castle messaging is still used, and the contents of a session are lost forever as soon as you close it.
How To Start a Burner Session
- Log in to Cyph
- Open app or navigate to cyph.app
- Go to Messaging
- If on mobile, go to Contacts
- Go to New Burner Chat, located at the top of the contacts list
- Send the link displayed to someone you want to communicate securely with
- Once someone navigates to the link you provide, a secure connection will establish
- Once connected, you can chat, use video call, and send files (up to 100 MB on Desktop, up to 25 MB on mobile)
- By selecting the "+" symbol, and selecting the "?" button, you can find Markdown Formatting suggestions
- Once you are done with your Burner session, you may click the "+" symbol and then the "x" symbol, or simply just close the tab/window that the Burner session is contained in, to end the communication
NOTE: By closing the Burner session, you will lose your session and all information contained within will be gone forever; the person you shared the conversation with will retain the information until they close the tab/window on their device
