Positioning
ZeeMSG compared with mainstream encrypted messengers
The main distinction is identity and control. ZeeMSG is built around invite-based identity, visible trust controls, and explicit network options instead of phone-number social graphs.
| Feature | ZeeMSG focus | Signal | Telegram |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary identity model | Invite or QR based | Phone number | Phone number |
| Phone number required | No | Yes | Yes |
| Encrypted message content | Yes | Yes | Secret chats only |
| Visible verification workflow | Fingerprint compare flow | Safety numbers | Less central |
| Tor-aware transport mode | Built-in mode toggle | Proxy support | Proxy support |
| Encrypted backup workflow | Export and import | Platform dependent | Cloud-centric model |
| Direct relay diagnostics | User-visible | Less exposed | Less exposed |
No comparison table replaces actual threat-model review. Always verify the person on the other side before you trust the session.
