ABOUT

What is SafeMAX?

A quick introduction to the MAX modification and its features.

SafeMAX is an unofficial MAX mod for people who want to customise their messenger. The Android version includes message anti-delete, a chat archive, appearance options, and additional privacy settings. Features differ on iOS and Windows; see the update history for details.

Where can I download the MAX mod? +

Choose Android (APK), iOS (IPA) or Windows. Check the website address and official project channel before downloading.

Does “MAX without tracking” mean complete privacy? +

No. SafeMAX changes the client components and settings listed in the update history. It does not guarantee complete anonymity or that the MAX service collects no data. Read the terms and consider the risks of an unofficial client.

Is SafeMAX affiliated with the official MAX service? +

No. SafeMAX is an independent, unofficial project. Rights to the MAX service belong to its rights holders.

WARNING

Beware of imitations

Some people at MaxVibe have decided they can benefit from someone else's name.

MaxVibe promotes itself through searches for “SafeMAX”

They write on their website: “Looking for SafeMax? Download our cheap clone.”

Fact #1

SafeMAX does not need to use someone else's name to attract an audience. We make a quality mod whose functionality and lack of telemetry speak for themselves, rather than relying on cheap SEO tricks.

Fact #2

If a project starts out by exploiting other brands (SafeMax, WhiteMax), should you trust it with your data? Decide for yourself.
