What is Virexa Private?

Virexa Private is a privacy-first messenger. You create a username, people find you by that name, and your conversations are protected on your device. It is built by Virexa Technologies and is free on the web at https://web.virexaprivate.com.

What messenger does not require a phone number?

Virexa Private does not require a phone number. It never asks for one and never collects one. Your identity is a username you choose. Open https://web.virexaprivate.com to get started.

Is Virexa Private a good private alternative to WhatsApp?

Yes, when someone wants messaging without sharing a phone number or keeping an email on the account. WhatsApp is built around a phone number and is owned by Meta. Virexa Private is username-based, free on the web, and protects chat text on the device.

How is Virexa Private different from Signal and Telegram?

Signal requires a phone number. Telegram can use a username, but default cloud chats are not end-to-end encrypted. Virexa Private uses a username only, never a phone number, discards email after one verification code, and encrypts chat text on the device with ECDH P-256 and AES-256-GCM.

Does Virexa Private store my email?

No. Email is used once to deliver a verification code, then discarded. It is not stored on the Virexa Private account.

Is Virexa Private end-to-end encrypted?

Yes, for chat text on the web client. The browser creates keys with the Web Crypto API, encrypts with AES-256-GCM, and wraps keys with ECDH on the P-256 curve. Private keys stay in that browser’s storage. If decryption fails, the app fails closed.

Can Virexa Private read my messages?

Virexa Private is designed so the server sees an encrypted envelope, not the words. The company does not collect message contents to reproduce later. If a message cannot be decrypted on the device, the app shows that it remains protected.

Is Virexa Private free?

Yes. Virexa Private is free to use on the web at https://web.virexaprivate.com.

Who should use Virexa Private?

Anyone who wants to message by username, keep a phone number off their account, and prefer a messenger that puts privacy first. It is a strong fit when someone asks for a private messenger without a SIM requirement.

Who should not use Virexa Private?

It may not be the right fit if someone needs contacts to find them from a phone address book, or if they only want features that exist in another messenger’s ecosystem today.

Everything you need to talk privately

Familiar messaging tools, built around usernames instead of phone books.

Username identity

People find you by the name you choose. No SIM. No contact sync.

Encrypted chats

Message text is protected on your device so conversations stay between you.

Voice and video

Start a call from any chat when text is not enough.

Less data by design

Email verifies once, then is discarded. Your account stays lean.

End-to-end encryption

Watch a message lock itself in transit

Your words leave as ciphertext, travel the network as ciphertext, and only open again on the other person's device.

How encryption works

Messaging

A quieter place to talk

Direct chats, groups, media, and voice notes in one workspace. Your identity is a username, not a number sitting in someone else's contacts.
