Group Chats

Buho Jump supports three types of group chats. Each serves a different purpose.

Private Groups

End-to-end encrypted groups for close friends and small teams.

• Messages are encrypted and sent to each member individually
• Works best with up to 100 people
• Only members can read messages
• When a member is removed, security refreshes automatically — they can't read future messages

Creating a private group

1. Open Chat → tap compose → choose Private Group
2. Enter a group name
3. Search and add members from your contacts
4. Confirm and create

Inviting members

Group owners can invite new members from the group info screen.

Communities

Server-hosted groups with admin controls. Good for larger communities.

• Hosted on a community server
• Supports moderators and admin roles
• Can be open (anyone joins) or closed (admin approval required)

Joining a community

Paste the invite link someone shared with you. The format looks like groups.example.com/group-name — Buho Jump handles the rest.

Creating a community

1. Open Chat → tap compose → choose Community
2. Switch to "Create" tab
3. Enter a name and description
4. Enter the server address (or leave blank for a default)
5. Confirm and create — you'll be the admin

Open Channels

Public spaces where anyone can join and chat freely. No encryption — everything is visible.

Joining a channel

Paste the channel link, similar to joining a community.

Creating a channel

Enter a name and optionally a description. The channel is public from the start.

Group features

All group types share these features:

• Reply threading
• Reactions
• Message deletion (your own messages)
• Mute notifications per group
• Member list (communities and channels)
• Admin actions (communities): invite, remove, edit group info
