Messages

Your private social — built for real connection.

Messages and Friends for people you trust. Chat when you need words. Voice or video call when you need to hear and see them. Everyone’s circle looks like their own friends — warm, private, and yours.

Inside a chat — every button

This is what a private conversation looks like. Your friend’s real name appears at the top — the screen below is just an example chat so you can see the controls.

Back arrow Return to your Messages list.
Friend name + Online / Offline Who you’re talking with, and whether they’re available right now.
Phone Start a voice call with this friend.
Video camera Start a video call.
⋯ More Extra chat options for this conversation.
Offline banner If they’re offline, your message still waits safely until they return.
✨ Sparkle button (Talk to Ciel) This is the Ciel helper — the sparkle beside “Write a message…”. Tap it to privately ask Ciel for help finding kind, clear words (for example: “tell them I’m busy”). Your hint stays private; only the reply you choose gets sent to your friend. It never posts for you automatically.
“Write a message…” Type what you want to say.
+ Plus Open your tools: a photo from your gallery, something from Private Storage, a scanned page, or a file up to 25 MB.
Microphone (hold) When the box is empty, hold the mic to record a voice message and let go to send it. Slide left to cancel, or slide up to lock it and keep talking hands-free.
Send (paper plane) Send your message to your friend.

Chat look — make the conversation yours

You and your friend share one chat look — like Messenger. Either of you can change it, and both of you see the same style.

Background photo Change the background to anything you want — a photo, art, a place that feels like you. Choosing a new one replaces it for both of you in this chat (it is not saved in an album).
Writing style Pick how your letters look: Classic, Roman, Script, Modern, or Typewriter — so the chat feels more personal.
Letter color Choose a letter color (Red, Black, Pink, Green, Blue, Yellow) so your words match the vibe of the chat.
How to open Chat look In a private Messages chat, open the chat options (⋯) and choose Chat look — then change the background, writing style, or letter color anytime.
