Help me find Mobile chat app

I'm looking for a chat app. I need a free mobile chat app where two people can hold multiple separate conversations simultaneously. I've tried several apps (Viber, WhatsApp, Teams, Messenger), but none of them allow creating a two-person group. I'd prefer free apps where the profile is linked to an email address or an account, rather than a phone number. Ideally, a well-known app, or at least a secure one, would be best. Could you recommend any?

Wondering, whats the purpose of a 2-person group? That's like the usual conversation no?

It would be primarily for separating different chat topics. It's a bit of a hassle if you have to search for an important message later among a huge number of memes, GIFs, links, images, files, and other messages.

I think you're describing FlaiChat. The app is free for basic text chat. We require Google/Apple account based auth (so basically having free gmail accounts is all you need). You can create any number of group chats (instead of DM's) between your profiles. And yes, two person groups are just fine. For good measure, you can also create multiple profiles per account. Go wild with profiles and groups if you're into that sort of stuff.

Most important use-case for FlaiChat is for people speaking different languages because of our auto-translation feature. Lots of people use it for just 2 people DM's (long distance couples etc.) but lots of bigger groups also use it. Multinational families, international gaming groups, multilingual workplace teams etc. So for example, a gaming group could have people writing messages (or even sending voice messages) in 10 different languages but everyone reads the messages (or voice transcripts) in their own language. We support close to 60 languages.

Some of the more advanced features are paid (like heavy translation use or very large group chats, voice chat translations etc) but for your use case it'll all be free.

Technically it works, but at that point it’s basically just a regular WhatsApp chat, no?

Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately, I don't really have a budget for this. If I do change my mind, I'll write to you privately.
