Smarter Image Compression, Multi-Image Albums, Voice Messages

Sharing photos and voice notes is now faster and lighter, without you having to think about it.

Image Compression That Saves Your Data Plan

Photos sent through VMP Messenger are now compressed to a maximum 2048-pixel side at JPEG quality 70 — visually indistinguishable from the original at quality 80, but roughly 60% smaller in file size. A 5 MB iPhone photo becomes around 600 KB. If a result still exceeds the 2 MB cap, the encoder steps quality down further until it fits.

Multi-Image Albums as One Carousel

Send up to several photos in one message and the chat renders them as a single horizontal carousel pill rather than a vertical wall of separate messages. The recipient swipes through; the chat list shows a single thumbnail.

Voice Messages

Record a voice clip from any chat and send it. The recipient plays it back inline. Voice clips are encrypted in transit and at rest, like any other media.

Files Up to 100 MB, Encrypted at Rest

The per-file upload cap is 100 MB. Uploaded media — images, video, voice clips, documents — is encrypted at rest on the server with AES-256-GCM. Files are retained for 30 days, then expire and are removed. If you want long-term storage, opt into Google Drive backup; the encrypted file lives in your own Drive, not ours.
