Welcome to the official public testing and release repository for WexSay, a modern, high-performance social messaging application for Android. Developed by the engineering team at WexDE, WexSay is designed to provide secure, low-latency, and media-rich communication.
This public repository serves as the central hub for the WexSay Beta program. Since our core application and backend codebase remain proprietary, this space is dedicated to distribution, public tracking of issues, feature proposals, changelogs, and community discussions.
Important
This is a Public Beta release. The application is in active development. Features are subject to change, and you may encounter bugs. Please review the Beta Program Warning before installation.
- High-Performance Messaging: Powered by a customized real-time WebSocket architecture ensuring instant delivery.
- Low-Latency calling: Native WebRTC calling infrastructure supporting voice and video calls with optimal network routing.
- Smart FAQ Suggestions: Integrated administrative assistance allowing users to query automated systems for quick answers.
- Visual Theme Engine: Advanced customization settings including personalized chat backgrounds and custom emojis.
- Privacy Controls: Fine-grained settings for managing phone number visibility, last seen status, and profile picture access.
- Account Multi-tenancy: Built-in multi-account manager allowing users to swap between up to three accounts seamlessly.
WexSay is engineered from the ground up for responsiveness and modern Android design patterns. By utilizing Jetpack Compose for a fully declarative UI, Kotlin Coroutines for async operations, and a highly optimized local SQLite (Room) database for offline-first caching, WexSay delivers a fluid, battery-efficient, and premium user experience even on budget devices.

- Temporary Package Name: The current beta app is distributed under the temporary package name
com.expde.chitchat. - Play Store Migration: The stable production release will be published on the Google Play Store under a different official package name.
- No Auto-Updates: Due to the package name change, this beta app will not automatically update to the stable Play Store version. You will need to manually install the official Play Store app when it is released.
