Infinite Identity means nothing to leak, link, or spam.
In regular on-the-record apps, you bring the same phone number, email or username to every chat. But in Convos, you start with a new, unnamed ID in every single convo.
Privacy isn’t secrecy — it’s choosing what to share. You can quickly add a name, pic or other info in any single convo … or not. It’s your choice.
When you start or join a conversation in Convos, the app instantly generates a fresh cryptographic identity — just for that convo. No account. No phone number. No username. Just a one-time key, created on your device, used only here.
This means your conversations are cryptographically separate. Nobody can know that the you in one chat is the same you in another.
Most messaging apps give you a single, permanent address — a phone number, a username — that anyone can find, store, and use to reach you forever. When it gets leaked or sold, you're a target. And it always gets leaked or sold.
Convos uses no such “single global identifiers.” Because every conversation is a different you, there's no identity to leak or spam.
Convos Instant Assistants can only ever know what you share in a single conversation — because as far as they know, you didn't exist before you joined. When the convo ends, so does that identity. The agent has nothing to remember you by.
You share what's relevant, when it's relevant. Nothing carries over.
Infinite identity doesn't mean anonymous forever. You can still tell people — and agents — as much or as little as you want, right there in the conversation.
The difference is that it's always your choice. You start with a clean slate every time.

The Convos Quickname capability make it quick to reuse your favorite name and pic in multiple convos.
Your Quickname is stored in the app and applied to convos one-by-one, when and where you choose to.
