About Ayoba

Ayoba is a free instant messaging app,

designed by Africans for Africans.

Although Africa is one continent, it is home to hundreds of unique cultures. We celebrate the diversity of Africa by providing a world-class messaging platform that reflects local needs and aspirations.

From the outset, Ayoba has incorporated sophisticated end-to-end encryption to keep our users’ data safe and ensure their privacy. This means that messages in a conversation cannot be read by anyone else, not even the team at Ayoba.

Our inclusive approach to technology means that Ayoba users will be able to communicate with anyone with a mobile device, even if they don’t have the Ayoba app yet.

Currently, Ayoba is available for download to anyone with an Android mobile phone (support for other platforms and devices coming soon!). In addition, we have a strategic partnership with MTN, which means we can offer free* Ayoba data for all MTN subscribers when they send messages, images, videos and other media to their contacts. In addition, any responses to Ayoba messages will also be free* for MTN subscribers, regardless of whether they are using the app.

What’s next for Ayoba?

We have a number of exciting innovations planned for the next few months as we expand our service across Africa. This includes being able to send and receive money within Ayoba, to contacts in Africa, through Mobile Money.
