How it works

From sign-up to your first call

No jargon, no setup marathon. Here is exactly what happens when you join Zumis.

Getting started takes a minute

  1. Step 1: Create your Zumis

    Sign up with your email and pick a username. Verification keeps your account yours.

  2. Step 2: Install and allow notifications

    Add Zumis to your home screen, then allow notifications so calls and messages reach you when the app is closed.

  3. Step 3: Find your people

    Search a username, send a message request, and start chatting or calling straight away.

Your account

Sign up with an email and password, or continue with Google. Pick a username — that is how friends find you, so you never have to hand out your phone number.

Messaging

Open a chat, type, send. Messages arrive instantly, and if your signal drops they queue and send themselves when you are back online. You can edit for 20 minutes and delete for an hour.

Calling

Tap the call button in any chat for voice or video. Zumis shows connection quality live and reconnects on its own when you move between networks.

Flicker

Record or upload up to 90 seconds, add a caption and post. Your original sound is preserved, and viewers can react five ways or leave a comment.

Staying safe

Block and report anyone, hide chats, and control who can see your profile and status. Our Safety Centre explains every control in one place.
