There’s multiple ways to invite your friends to Zangi: Option 1) Go to your app Contacts → under All contacts → tap on a contact that doesn’t have a Zangi label next to their name → tap Invite to Zangi. After this step, you will have two ways to invite someone: Invite by SMS or Invite through your chosen sharing channel. You can choose the option that works best for you and send your Zangi invite directly to the person you want to connect with. SMS messages will be charged as standard outgoing SMS by your carrier (unless sent via iMessage). Option 2) Go to your app Settings → Invite Friends → choose Invite by SMS or Send Send Invitation via… (iOS) or Share (Android) → choose the contacts you want to invite. Here’s a simple example of what you can say if you’re inviting a friend to connect with you on Zangi: You: Hey, I use Zangi for texting and calling - add me there. The call quality is great, and you don’t need to use your personal phone number to sign up. The app gives you a private in-app number instead, so you can communicate without sharing your real contact details. I like it because it’s secure, private, and doesn’t collect unnecessary personal information. Plus, there are no ads, reels, stories, or distractions, just messaging, calls, and file sharing.

All your phone contacts will also appear in your contacts list on Zangi. If you would like to add new contacts, go to Contacts → tap on the +. On iOS Open Chats, then tap the + icon. From there, you can start a new chat or add a contact using their Zangi Private Number. On Android Tap the pencil/edit icon to start a new chat. Then choose Add Contact and enter the person’s Zangi Private Number. From the Number Pad Open the Number Pad, type the person’s Zangi Private Number, then tap Add Contact to save them and start communicating. Contacts are always synced from your phone contacts. So if you add/delete a contact on your phone it will also appear in your Zangi contacts and vice versa.

To search for contacts, simply go to Contacts → and use the search engine on top.

Calling or messaging contacts is made as simply as possible.

Option 3) From Chats → tap on the pencil icon on Android and + on IOS→ enter a namel to start chatting with → message them. Option 4) If you’ve already started messaging with someone: Enter that chat→ tap on the call icon in the top right corner→ tap on Call or Video call. Option 5) If you’ve already had a call with someone: Calls → tap on the (i) on the right side of call → tap on Call, Video, Chat. Please note: If a single contact has more than one Zangi number, Zangi will ask which number you’re choosing, before messaging/calling them.

To see when a friend was last on Zangi, open your chat with them → on the top left under their name you will see “Last visit on/at …”. If you don’t see such details, tap on the name for more info → you will see their last online date and/or time. You can also view when your friend was last online by going to Contacts I don’t see my contact’s online status If you don’t see the last online time under a contact’s name, that means: - They’ve turned off their Online Status from their Privacy Settings - They haven’t been online for a very long time - They’ve blocked you

If you know your friends have Zangi, but you can't see them: - Check if you gave Zangi permission to your native contacts - Check if the Zangi Private number of your friend is correct. - Ask them to try messaging/calling you first. - Make sure you are using the latest version of the app. - Force quit and relaunch the app. - If you still can’t figure out what’s going wrong, contact support and send us a detailed description of the problem.

To block someone go to your app Settings → Privacy → Blocked → Add New(For IOS) or +(For Android) → choose the contact(s) you want to block. Blocked contacts will no longer be able to call you or send you messages. You can also tap on the contact’s name and block them from their profile info → Block this Contact.

To report someone on Zangi, open the chat with the contact you want to report. On iOS, tap the contact’s name at the top of the chat to open their profile information. From there, scroll down and tap Report. On Android, tap the three dots in the upper-right corner of the chat. A drop-down menu will appear, where you can select the Report option. After tapping Report, you can choose either Report or Report and Block. If you select Report and Block, the contact will be reported and will no longer be able to call you or send you messages. You should report someone if they are sending spam, suspicious links, unwanted messages, offensive content, threats, or anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.

There are a couple of indicators that you may be blocked: - You can no longer see a contact's last seen or online in the chat window. - You do not see updates to a contact's profile photo. - Any messages sent to a contact who has blocked you will always show one check mark (message sent), and never show a second check mark (message delivered). - Any calls you attempt to place will not go through. If you see all of the indicators above for a contact, this could mean that the user is blocking you. However, there are other possibilities. We have made this intentionally ambiguous in order to protect your privacy when you block someone. Thus, we cannot tell you if you are being blocked by someone else.
