## About the product

WAYA is a consumer messaging and calling app for people in Africa and the African diaspora who want to stay in touch through private chats and internet-based voice and video calls.

Key capabilities include:
- **Private messaging** with text, **voice notes**, photos, and files, plus **reactions** and **quoted replies** to keep conversations clear in busy chats
- **Voice calls and video calls**, including **one-on-one and group voice calls**, running over data rather than airtime
- **Status** posts for sharing photos or videos that **disappear after 24 hours**
- A **Discover feed** for posts and videos from connected people, with the ability to react, comment, and share

Available on **Web**, **Android**, and **iOS**.

It targets **B2C users** such as individuals, families, friends, and groups, including people connecting across borders (for example, from Accra to people abroad).

Notable for its focus on **changing or weak network conditions**, including message saving and retry behavior when connectivity drops, and for built-in safety controls like **block and report**, **account deletion**, and app traffic protected in transit (TLS) with call transport encrypted via **WebRTC**.
