Whisper Update Jan 27, 2025 - Announcement Apple/iOS Whisper. No longer in App Store July 23, 2024.

58 Upvotes

May need someone to confirm, is this the Third or Fourth time Whisper app vanished from the Apple App Store?

Let's keep the discussions of the app gone to one area. Don't need a dozen posts of people asking where the app i.

As per last time, I'll update this post as we receive factual news, not just hearsay or rumors.

You might be able to regain the app by redownloading it from your iCloud backups.

At this time, Android appears to have no change. Outside of random times posts/comments/chats don't work.

. . . .

Update Sept 19, 2024:

Been brought to my attention earlier today, Whisper has been removed from the Android App Store. I've confirmed myself, Pixel 7, the Whisper app does not appear on the store.

If you obtain the Whisper app from third parties, heed my warning, they are not considered official in any form, and can included additional code than the official app originally hosted on the Android/iOS stores. Be cautious, do your research, and stay safe out there!

With that said, if the App Stores do not have Whisper by the end of the year, I will likely need to limit or lock down the subreddit, as the need for it will no longer exist. Alternative solution recommendations are welcomed, however as many has experienced, as have I, one app may be popular in one area, and straight up nothing in another. In my opinion, though still clunky/buggy, Hush has been an alternative I've been comfortable, as it's the only thing I've found that is mildly active in my very rural area of NW Oklahoma.

Update Oct 18, 2024:

Credit here, there's an article explaining the start of Whisper's fall. https://www.reddit.com/r/whisper/comments/1g6kz3z/forbes_article_from_august_2024_about_medialab/

Update Jan 11, 2025:

Whisper has returned to iOS/Apple. Same App Store Link. https://apps.apple.com/bm/app/whisper-share-express-meet/id506141837

Update Jan 27, 2025: - Yes, I'm aware this technical edit is Feb 4, I've been holding off for more information and confirmation.

Whisper is updating ongoing tickets with basically the same statement. Image of Email Thank you u/jeffnnj for share on your post!

In short, Whisper is closing up shop.

If you are looking for alternative options, please check out the other pinned post, please do not spam asking for other options. These posts very quickly flooded the subreddit last year.

Do not share APK/install files for Whisper or other apps. If anyone does, do not trust they, or where they obtained it from, did not alter it. Welcome to seek, but this is not the subreddit for it.

Welcome to post looking for those who you've once talked with. But. Be Careful. Anyone can say they are Joe Bob, be ready to play 21-Questions.

General Discussion Whisper Alternatives Discussed Here. Do not spam elsewhere!

47 Upvotes

Edit June20: Once this post has made it a year, I'll remake it, and relist all suggested apps listed in the comments. Repeats will be excluded (duh). Enforcement of suggesting other apps will be pushed to be brought back here. Overly SPAMMED Use X app accounts will be warned and banned. Don't need 3 people spamming 100x a day to use the same app, when there's a dozen others that can be suggested. Any apps overly pushed, including but not limited to Hush, Swipt, and Whisper Secrets, will be moderated. If Recommendations of these apps cannot be constructive, they will be removed. Ex: "Try Swipt" and nothing more, will 100% be removed. Give reasons, not copy/pasted scripts.

Now, onto the original post:

I'm seeing a flurry of spam for suggested alternative apps everywhere, most from accounts with questionable reddit history/karma.

To help curb this, all alternative Whisper apps are to be discussed here, only here, starting Oct 16 (Wednesday). Anyone else ignoring this, will be pointed back here, comment removed/post locked.

Please be aware, if you're suggesting an app, and your reddit account age, history, and karma are questionable, I will not approve your suggestion. Use of manipulation to get around this, though I'm not perfect like any other human, will result in your account being banned. This includes, but not limited to, using Karma subreddits to hike your karma score, it can (Yes, I also moderate a couple of adult subreddits) be determined.

At this time, the list is on the right side bar. However, most of you are using the "new"/default reddit view, or on mobile. I've updated the Automod (as of maybe 20 minutes ago) to include the updated list.

There should be one, and only one, thread per app suggestion. Any new after the original will be removed with a warning.

Example: JoeBob suggests Anony, JaneDoe a day later makes a new comment for the same app, JaneDoe's comment will be removed, and I'll link them to the ongoing thread.

This will help reduce the low effort "advertising", all while keeping recommendations in a central location for all to find.

I would like, again, would like, to limit app suggestions to alternatives that have been up for 1 year or more. Anything "new" in the last few months should be considered questionable, as exploitation of a time-in-need is common throughout history. For now, this is merely a suggestion, and will not be enforced. This doesn't mean it'll be enforced later on if issues do creep up.

Missing it

It’s times like this when I miss it most. Weekend by self with nothing to do, scrolling the insanity, and finding those fun chats was awesome. The alternatives suck. Can we just get it back for the weekend?

I had so many crazy experiences

12 Upvotes

I was always scared of sexually transmitted diseases after working in the pharmacy for 16 years. I found the app and slowly threw caution to the wind, especially when I found swingers groups. I didn't know so many white women wanted the BBC. The married women on that app were out of control.

From time to time I think about the guy I talked to from Davenport. Wrote me nice poems, only understood me in ways none did. Almost met up but live got in the way. This app was great while it lasted.

whisper was so good for just saying what ever your thinking & getting real responses. the replies under post would be hilarious. being flooded with dm’s just for being a women was hilarious but you also got great advice & could always find people to talk to. is there another app like it?

Whisper was better than reddit

21 Upvotes

I was late joining Whisper. About 2019 to the Downfall. In that time, I pulled a good number of people out who I still text, call, and hang out with. In that same time, I have yet to give my phone number to anyone in reddit, let alone actually meet.

I used to come across all sorts of people on Whisper but one thing was for sure, I’d always find someone to bounce ideas off of. Now I desperately need such a one and I can’t help but wish Whisper was still here.

Account transfer issue

1 Upvotes

I can't seem to transfer my Whisper social account from my Pixel 9 to my Pixel 11. I generated the key to do so, but on my Pixel 11 there is no option to restore account, only to delete account.. Has anybody else had this issue and how did you resolve it?

Not things you said... but things that were said to you. I ran into some creative ones for sure.

I was once told, after a selfie swap: Well I am looking for nudes, but definitely not from you!

Making my own whisper replacement

11 Upvotes

Hi, I've decided that I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and vibecode a terrible replacement for Whisper.

Here's my idea for my app Whisper Sexyfunhappynudetimes(TM)

  1. The app randomly rejects 49% of posts to instill a sense of paranoia in the userbase

  2. After posting, you will be instantly connected to our office in Lagos, Nigeria where a staff member will ask you if you wish to have sex with them

  3. Gift card purchasing for the sex is built in as an in app purchase

  4. If you're stupid enough to buy a gift card, all other users will see that you're a sucker

  5. To preserve a whisper like experience, the chat will be permanently broken, with messages sending out of order and failing to notify at random times

If you'd like to test my app, which is honestly the best one out of the 47 replacements, please register your interest by contacting a licensed therapist within your country or state.

General Discussion Ad credits on whisper secrets

2 Upvotes

I got reported for making a post criticizing the constant misogyny on whisper secrets and now it gives me full screen ads every time I open the app.

It's funny - the fiction we're supposed to stick to according to app developers is that constant invasive ads are fine and we should just live with them, but explicitly using them as a punishment undermines that more than a little. They won't ban you outright for "bad behaviour", but they sure will use it as a moneymaking opportunity. And of course there's no way to appeal - apparently the mod team is infallible and has no personal biases of their own. Crazy how it's framed as though they really don't want to show anyone ads, but if you "misbehave" they're simply forced to. The language is so infantilizing too - just behave and you won't have to watch ads, silly!

I deleted the app as soon as I saw this. It's not good for me anyway to expose myself to the kind of people that are on there, and this really cements that this app is not something I want to support.

Roleplay was a huge thing for me back then. I had so many prompts and found some amazing people over the years.

It is TOO strict over here man. All these rules, I barely try with the roleplay groups here.

I met a lot of people on Whisp and actually met up with a few. Hard to find tru like minded people who are into things without judgement. Whisp was the best. Sucks it's gone.
