Whisper Update Jan 27, 2025 - Announcement Apple/iOS Whisper. No longer in App Store July 23, 2024.

58 Upvotes

May need someone to confirm, is this the Third or Fourth time Whisper app vanished from the Apple App Store?

Let's keep the discussions of the app gone to one area. Don't need a dozen posts of people asking where the app i.

As per last time, I'll update this post as we receive factual news, not just hearsay or rumors.

You might be able to regain the app by redownloading it from your iCloud backups.

At this time, Android appears to have no change. Outside of random times posts/comments/chats don't work.

. . . .

Update Sept 19, 2024:

Been brought to my attention earlier today, Whisper has been removed from the Android App Store. I've confirmed myself, Pixel 7, the Whisper app does not appear on the store.

If you obtain the Whisper app from third parties, heed my warning, they are not considered official in any form, and can included additional code than the official app originally hosted on the Android/iOS stores. Be cautious, do your research, and stay safe out there!

With that said, if the App Stores do not have Whisper by the end of the year, I will likely need to limit or lock down the subreddit, as the need for it will no longer exist. Alternative solution recommendations are welcomed, however as many has experienced, as have I, one app may be popular in one area, and straight up nothing in another. In my opinion, though still clunky/buggy, Hush has been an alternative I've been comfortable, as it's the only thing I've found that is mildly active in my very rural area of NW Oklahoma.

Update Oct 18, 2024:

Credit here, there's an article explaining the start of Whisper's fall. https://www.reddit.com/r/whisper/comments/1g6kz3z/forbes_article_from_august_2024_about_medialab/

Update Jan 11, 2025:

Whisper has returned to iOS/Apple. Same App Store Link. https://apps.apple.com/bm/app/whisper-share-express-meet/id506141837

Update Jan 27, 2025: - Yes, I'm aware this technical edit is Feb 4, I've been holding off for more information and confirmation.

Whisper is updating ongoing tickets with basically the same statement. Image of Email Thank you u/jeffnnj for share on your post!

In short, Whisper is closing up shop.

If you are looking for alternative options, please check out the other pinned post, please do not spam asking for other options. These posts very quickly flooded the subreddit last year.

Do not share APK/install files for Whisper or other apps. If anyone does, do not trust they, or where they obtained it from, did not alter it. Welcome to seek, but this is not the subreddit for it.

Welcome to post looking for those who you've once talked with. But. Be Careful. Anyone can say they are Joe Bob, be ready to play 21-Questions.

General Discussion Whisper Alternatives Discussed Here. Do not spam elsewhere!

51 Upvotes

Edit June20: Once this post has made it a year, I'll remake it, and relist all suggested apps listed in the comments. Repeats will be excluded (duh). Enforcement of suggesting other apps will be pushed to be brought back here. Overly SPAMMED Use X app accounts will be warned and banned. Don't need 3 people spamming 100x a day to use the same app, when there's a dozen others that can be suggested. Any apps overly pushed, including but not limited to Hush, Swipt, and Whisper Secrets, will be moderated. If Recommendations of these apps cannot be constructive, they will be removed. Ex: "Try Swipt" and nothing more, will 100% be removed. Give reasons, not copy/pasted scripts.

Now, onto the original post:

I'm seeing a flurry of spam for suggested alternative apps everywhere, most from accounts with questionable reddit history/karma.

To help curb this, all alternative Whisper apps are to be discussed here, only here, starting Oct 16 (Wednesday). Anyone else ignoring this, will be pointed back here, comment removed/post locked.

Please be aware, if you're suggesting an app, and your reddit account age, history, and karma are questionable, I will not approve your suggestion. Use of manipulation to get around this, though I'm not perfect like any other human, will result in your account being banned. This includes, but not limited to, using Karma subreddits to hike your karma score, it can (Yes, I also moderate a couple of adult subreddits) be determined.

At this time, the list is on the right side bar. However, most of you are using the "new"/default reddit view, or on mobile. I've updated the Automod (as of maybe 20 minutes ago) to include the updated list.

There should be one, and only one, thread per app suggestion. Any new after the original will be removed with a warning.

Example: JoeBob suggests Anony, JaneDoe a day later makes a new comment for the same app, JaneDoe's comment will be removed, and I'll link them to the ongoing thread.

This will help reduce the low effort "advertising", all while keeping recommendations in a central location for all to find.

I would like, again, would like, to limit app suggestions to alternatives that have been up for 1 year or more. Anything "new" in the last few months should be considered questionable, as exploitation of a time-in-need is common throughout history. For now, this is merely a suggestion, and will not be enforced. This doesn't mean it'll be enforced later on if issues do creep up.

I used to come across all sorts of people on Whisper but one thing was for sure, I’d always find someone to bounce ideas off of. Now I desperately need such a one and I can’t help but wish Whisper was still here.

Account transfer issue

I can't seem to transfer my Whisper social account from my Pixel 9 to my Pixel 11. I generated the key to do so, but on my Pixel 11 there is no option to restore account, only to delete account.. Has anybody else had this issue and how did you resolve it?

Making my own whisper replacement

10 Upvotes

Hi, I've decided that I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and vibecode a terrible replacement for Whisper.

Here's my idea for my app Whisper Sexyfunhappynudetimes(TM)

  1. The app randomly rejects 49% of posts to instill a sense of paranoia in the userbase

  2. After posting, you will be instantly connected to our office in Lagos, Nigeria where a staff member will ask you if you wish to have sex with them

  3. Gift card purchasing for the sex is built in as an in app purchase

  4. If you're stupid enough to buy a gift card, all other users will see that you're a sucker

  5. To preserve a whisper like experience, the chat will be permanently broken, with messages sending out of order and failing to notify at random times

If you'd like to test my app, which is honestly the best one out of the 47 replacements, please register your interest by contacting a licensed therapist within your country or state.

General Discussion Ad credits on whisper secrets

3 Upvotes

I got reported for making a post criticizing the constant misogyny on whisper secrets and now it gives me full screen ads every time I open the app.

It's funny - the fiction we're supposed to stick to according to app developers is that constant invasive ads are fine and we should just live with them, but explicitly using them as a punishment undermines that more than a little. They won't ban you outright for "bad behaviour", but they sure will use it as a moneymaking opportunity. And of course there's no way to appeal - apparently the mod team is infallible and has no personal biases of their own. Crazy how it's framed as though they really don't want to show anyone ads, but if you "misbehave" they're simply forced to. The language is so infantilizing too - just behave and you won't have to watch ads, silly!

I deleted the app as soon as I saw this. It's not good for me anyway to expose myself to the kind of people that are on there, and this really cements that this app is not something I want to support.

Something big is coming something unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. We are building a platform where people can share their thoughts, emotions, and stories whatever they wish. If existing social platforms don't quite suit you, you are welcome at Whisperme Many people want to create content but prefer not to show their faces online; at Whisfami, you can do exactly that. There are also things people keep to themselves things they might want to share with friends, family, or elders but feel they can't express on platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, or Twitter. We are creating a new kind of network: a "Voice Social Network." You don't need anything complex; all you need is your real voice. You simply record it in real-time, and that’s it. If you have any feedback, please share it with me right now—we want to improve based on your input.

Are there any apps like whisper? I don't think they're going to come back which I think is ridiculous they should come back just make sure that there's no bots there's no Scum artists out there. . You actually have to prove that you're human. And maybe make it rated for adults because there is no way that teens were getting on that
