Free messaging app Ayoba has assured users of its commitment to protecting their privacy and security.
The messaging app powered by MTN was launched in 2019 to make communication affordable.
Its creators said that messages on the app cannot be accessed by anyone else, including MTN.
The assurance is coming on the heels of the scare users of WhatsApp had over its newly-introduced – but now suspended – privacy policy.
MTN, in a statement, said, “Ayoba is focused on protecting users’ privacy and security: it is not possible for messages in the app to be read by anyone else or to be shared with any third parties, including MTN.
“The app features peer-to-peer private messaging which is end-to-end encrypted; ayoba treats data with the utmost care and respect in line with its privacy policy.
