The platform’s expansion offers users the ability to find and engage with personally relevant content within the privacy and protection of the DatChat ecosystem. Users can now access a feed of content served on the DatChat Social Network+, create private and public Communities and Pages based on interests, and follow one another.

“We have the same right to privacy online that we all enjoy in our homes and with our friends in real life,” said Darin Myman, founder and CEO of DatChat. “Two of our major initiatives right now are the continued expansion of the engineering team to accelerate platform development and the launch of our national marketing campaign to build brand awareness and acquire new users. Our new offices, located at 204 Neilson Street in New Brunswick, New Jersey, will provide us the room to grow.”

DatChat’s core model and key differentiator is personal privacy. The messaging and app platform uses patented technology to maintain privacy for users and ensures control by users of their personal online data. All posts are encrypted and can be permanently deleted at any time or set to self-destruct at a specific time, allowing users to share with the privacy and protection they deserve. Additionally, users are given the ability to protect the information they share.

The DatChat Social Network+ expansion of features will begin with today’s Phase 1 launch of DatChat Social Network+ that includes content aggregation and discoverability, social engagement tools, public and private social network creation, verified influencer platform, and an iMessage App with screenshot protection for pictures and messages. Phase 2, scheduled for next month, is expected to include influencer tools for monetization and content creation, bolstered group moderation capabilities, enhanced commenting controls, and advanced social networking and messaging features available via in-app purchase.
