About Fariin

Say it to them, and only them.

Fariin is a private messenger: messages, voice and video calls, and stories, made for Somalis everywhere and open to anyone.

What we promise

• Your messages and calls are encrypted end to end. We cannot read or hear them.
• No phone number is needed, and your contacts never leave your phone. People find you by a username you choose.
• No ads, no advertising companies, and your data is never sold.
• The website sets no cookies and runs no trackers.

Who runs it

Fariin is run by one person rather than a company, and every message sent to support@fariin.com is read by that person. If Fariin becomes a registered company, this page will name it.

Where it is now

Fariin is on iPhone and in testing through Apple's TestFlight. See how to get it, and the news page for what has changed.
