ANCIENT CHAT IS HERE — AND THIS TIME, IT SPEAKS OUR LANGUAGE

Family of ANCIENT,
This is not just another update.
This is a breakthrough.

After patience, persistence, and purpose-driven engineering, we are proud to announce the release of ANCIENT CHAT — a completely reborn communication experience, redesigned from the ground up for our people, our values, and our future.

This version is very different from anything you’ve used before. So if you still have the old version on your phone, we strongly encourage you to uninstall it, head straight to the Play Store, and search for “Ancient Chat” to install the new release.

IOS or iPhone users should give us little time to complete the IOS scrutiny before it goes live on Appstore. This will probably take a week or two. 

Your Journey Begins in Seconds

Once installed:

• Sign up or log in using your functional phone number
• Receive an OTP for instant verification
• Allow the required permissions so the app can work seamlessly on all fronts

That’s it. You’re in.

Not WhatsApp. Not Telegram. Not Messenger.

ANCIENT CHAT is simply… ANCIENT CHAT.

We are not here to compete.
We are here to reclaim a lost digital legacy.

This application does not imitate existing platforms because imitation was never the goal. Our goal is ownership, originality, and African-first innovation. That’s why there is a learning curve — and why we encourage everyone to take time to understand how the app is designed to work. Mastery comes with use, and greatness comes with patience.

Smart by Design: Your Contacts, Already Home

One of the most exciting features is how ANCIENT CHAT handles your contacts:

• The app automatically scans your phone contacts
• Anyone already on ANCIENT CHAT appears at the top of your contact list
• Other contacts appear below, with the option to invite them for free
• Invitations can be sent via SMS, WhatsApp, or Telegram

This is how we grow — one trusted contact at a time.
Invite friends, relatives, colleagues, and loved ones. Let’s bring everyone into the circle.

What You Can Do on ANCIENT CHAT (So Far 👀)

The current version already comes packed with powerful features:

• One-on-one private chats
• Group creation and group conversations
• Add and manage group members
• Send photos, videos, audio messages, and files
• Record live audio messages to individuals or groups
• Post status updates, view others’ statuses, and share them
• Make live voice calls and video calls with crystal-clear quality
• Edit or delete messages (for everyone) in both private and group chats
• Full settings for Profile, Account, Chats, Notifications, Security, and Personalization
• Next-level emojis — bold, expressive, and reactive like never before

And yes… we thought about everyone 👇

Built for All Eyes

ANCIENT CHAT allows you to choose your preferred font size:

• Small
• Medium (default)
• Large

With this thoughtful feature, elders and users with visual challenges no longer need to hunt for glasses before enjoying a conversation. Technology should serve humanity — not exclude it.

This Is Only the Beginning

We want the community to know:
this is just the start.

More features, deeper integrations, and greater possibilities are already on the way. For now, we invite you to help us stress-test the application. Use it daily. Push it. Break it (constructively 😄). Then send us your feedback — because this platform is being built with you, not just for you.

About Cost, Value, and Reality

At this stage, we believe it is not appropriate to charge people to use ANCIENT CHAT. Communication is essential, and access must come first.

However, let us be honest:
nothing is truly free in the tech world.

If a product is free, someone somewhere is paying for it — with money, data, or labor. To keep ANCIENT CHAT live, secure, and scalable, massive revenue mobilization will be required in the long run, and the community will play a key role in shaping that future sustainably.

Celebrate Our Uniqueness

Once again, we humbly ask the community:
learn to accept our uniqueness without constant comparison to platforms we have used for years.

ANCIENT CHAT was not designed to replace habits overnight. It was designed to create a new digital culture — one rooted in African identity and global relevance.

More Than Chatting — A Gateway

Chatting applications are now part of daily human life. People check their phones every moment — for messages, updates, and connection.

Through ANCIENT CHAT, news of the ANCIENT ecosystem will travel far and wide.
From Chat, curiosity will lead to Ancient Media, Ancient Meet, Ancient Mall, Ancient Coin, Ancient Flip, and beyond.

This is how ecosystems grow.
This is how markets shift.
From Africa to the diaspora.

Why We Started

From the very beginning of the Ancient Society projects, our objective has been clear:

To give people real alternatives and place Africa firmly on the global technology map.

No one will build Africa for us.
No one will define our digital future for us.

Only Africans can make Africa better — and ANCIENT CHAT is one step in that direction.

Welcome to the conversation.
Welcome to the future.
Welcome home. 🌍✨
