Verify the file (anti-scam)

Every Zi-Chat file has a unique fingerprint (SHA-256). If even one byte is changed — by a virus, a fake copy or a broken download — the fingerprint is different. Check it before installing, especially if you got the file from someone else.

The result must be exactly the fingerprint above. Different? Do not install it: delete the file and download it again from this page.

How to check it
  • Windows (PowerShell, in your Downloads folder):Get-FileHash .\zichat-0.0.370.apk -Algorithm SHA256
  • Mac (Terminal):shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/zichat-0.0.370.apk
  • Linux (Terminal):sha256sum ~/Downloads/zichat-0.0.370.apk
  • Android: open the file with a «checksum / hash» app, choose SHA-256 and compare.
Stay safe
  • Download Zi-Chat only from www.zi-chat.io — never from a link received by SMS, e-mail or chat.
  • Zi-Chat will never ask for your password or a payment code by phone, SMS or private message.
  • Updates come from inside the app: Android refuses any fake update, because it is not signed with our key.
