Verum Messenger: A Breakthrough in the World of Digital Freedom

In the era of total control, surveillance and data collection, every Internet user sooner or later asks himself: are there any other technologies that truly protect my freedom? The answer is Verum Messenger.

No registration. No surveillance. No compromises

Verum Messenger is not just a messenger, but an entire ecosystem built on the principles of anonymity, privacy and freedom. Here you do not need to enter a phone number, e-mail or any other personal information. You just log in and start communicating. That’s it. No «register to start», no «allow access to contacts».

What makes Verum unique?

Verum Messenger is not just about messages. It is a full-fledged digital «Swiss knife» that combines many new generation technologies:

⸻

🔒 Verum VPN: built-in freedom

Forget about third-party VPN applications. Verum VPN is already built into the messenger. It is activated in one click and provides complete anonymity and bypass of blocking. The IP address is encrypted, traffic is hidden, your identity remains locked.

⸻

📧 Verum Mail: temporary mail that is always at hand

No registration. Verum Mail is an email service inside the messenger, where you can create, change and delete email addresses every second. Ideal for registering on sites, communicating or working safely.

⸻

🧠 Verum AI: a smart assistant inside

Verum’s artificial intelligence helps you in real time — be it text generation, translation, information search or task automation. It’s like having a personal assistant in the chat, available 24/7.

⸻

💰 Verum Mining: mine coins for free

The messenger has a built-in mining feature for Verum Coin, the project’s own digital currency. And yes, it is mined absolutely free, without investment. Just turn on the function — and the coins drip into your wallet.

⸻

🌍 Verum eSIM: your own Internet — anywhere in the world

For those who value mobility, Verum offers a unique option — a virtual SIM card (eSIM). This is its own Internet service that allows you to stay in touch without operators and roaming.

⸻

🔐 Absolute anonymity and decentralization

Verum Messenger is built on a decentralized architecture, which eliminates the possibility of data leakage or control by corporations or governments. Here, no one knows who you are, where you are and who you are communicating with.

⸻

Why is this important?

In the context of modern digital censorship and global surveillance, tools like Verum are becoming not an alternative, but a necessity. This is the choice of those who are not ready to sacrifice freedom for convenience, those who understand the value of privacy and independence on the Internet.

⸻

Verum is more than a messenger. It is a digital revolution.

Join millions of users around the world who have already chosen freedom, anonymity and the technologies of the future.

Instagram App Finally Appears on iPads, After 15 Years of Neglecting Apple’s Tablet

You no longer have to use the strange-looking iPhone version of the social media app on your tablet.

Following earlier rumors in 2025, iPad users finally saw a dedicated Instagram app arrive on their devices on Wednesday. Since the iPad’s original release 15 years ago, Instagram had never been available in the App Store as a download for Apple’s tablet. Instead, users had been stuck with the mobile version, which awkwardly failed to stretch to the iPad’s larger screen size.

It’s not clear why Instagram took so long to appear on the iPad. (We’re baffled by it just as much as you are.)

We’ve tested out the app and found it ready to download and fully functional. A big plus is that it takes up the full screen. However, Instagram has made a few changes, so you’ll have a slightly different experience than on your phone or computer.

What’s new with the Instagram iPad app?

When first logging on to Instagram on the iPad, we found a notable difference. Instead of the typical Instagram home screen, the app takes you directly to Reels to start scanning the latest videos. The experience ends up looking similar to scroll-happy TikTok, which seems intentional (and could indicate future changes for the other versions of the app).

It’s nice for those who like checking out all the Reels, but somewhat cumbersome for those who prefer to focus on standard Instagram posts instead.

The new iPad app also includes a new section called Following, which takes you to classic Instagram posts with a long-requested twist. Following posts are divided into All, Friends only or Latest, giving you different options for your feed.

Other Instagram features on the dedicated iPad app appear more or less identical to existing versions, but we’ll keep you updated if we see any other differences. For now, social scrollers who want a bigger screen to enjoy their Insta pics and Reels have a significant upgrade to explore.

Meta didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
