What WhatsApp was never built for

Made for a Jewish home. Not just let into one.

WhatsApp is built for the whole world. Aneni is built for us - and that changes what's inside it.

01

Every photo is checked before anyone sees it.

A photo you send goes through our picture filter first. In a men's chat, women in the picture are covered; in a women's chat, men are covered. A photo that can't be checked isn't sent - simple as that.

WhatsApp: any photo from anyone in the group lands straight on your screen.
A photo in an Aneni chat, checked by the picture filterChecked
02

No ads. No feeds from strangers.

Aneni is the people you choose and nothing else pushing in. No ads between your messages, no promoted channels you never asked for, no short-video feeds. Status is the kosher kind: words or one photo, checked first, gone after 24 hours.

WhatsApp now shows ads and promoted channels in its Updates tab.
03

Men's spaces and women's spaces, kept apart.

When you turn on Aneni you say whether you're a man or a woman. Finding people, groups and call links keep men with men and women with women - the way our communities already live.

WhatsApp: no separation of any kind.
04

No phone number? No problem.

Sign up with just your email and get a free Aneni number of your own - or keep the cell number you already use. A tablet, a computer at work, a phone with no plan: if it has a browser, it can have Aneni.

WhatsApp still needs a phone number to sign up.
05

Real people read every report.

Every person, message and group has Report and Block, one press away. A reported message disappears from your screen at once, and our team reads every report within 24 hours. Zero tolerance for anything that doesn't belong.

Side by side

Everything it does. Plus what it never will.

And when you want to learn

Learn together, right inside the call.

Aneni comes from LeHallel, so the Torah is never far away.

  • A sefer open for both of you. Open any page of LeHallel's library in a call - when one of you turns the page, it turns for both, with a gold pointer on the line.
  • Live shiurim. One teacher on camera, everyone else listening.
  • Find a chavrusa. Men find men and women find women - only people who choose to be found.
  • The Aneni Beit MidrashBETA - a 3D room on LeHallel to give a shiur, find a chavrusa or start a chaburah.

Questions

Asked and answered.

Is Aneni really free?

Yes. Aneni is free with a free LeHallel account, and there are no ads in it.

Can I message people who are still on WhatsApp?

Aneni talks to Aneni. To bring someone over, send them your invite or your group's link - they're in within a minute.

Do I need a phone number?

No. Sign up with your email and get a free Aneni number - or choose the one you want. If you'd rather, use the cell number you already have, and switch back to your Aneni number any time.

Can I text and call my own family?

Yes. Anyone whose number you have - their Aneni number or their cell, or who is in your phone's contacts - you can text and call in one press: your wife, your parents, your children. Strangers you meet on Aneni stay on your own side: men with men, women with women.

Is Aneni on iPhone?

Yes - get it on the App Store.

Does it work on a computer?

Yes. Open Aneni in any browser and sign in - your chats are there.

Are my calls recorded?

Never. Calls are not recorded or kept.

What happens to the photos I send?

Each photo is checked by our picture filter before it's sent, then kept privately so only the people in that chat can open it. Our privacy policy has the details.

How do I leave?

Settings - Delete my account removes your account and your Aneni messages. Here's how.
