What is Convos?
Convos is a messaging app built by XMTP Labs on the XMTP protocol, described as an agentic messenger for chats with people and AI agents. It is available in the US App Store and on Google Play. Messages use XMTP's end-to-end encryption.
How Convos works
In Convos, every conversation is a group chat with an agent in it.
The agent follows the thread and turns decisions, times and plans into Things, such as itineraries, lists and receipts, that stay in the chat. You choose how it behaves with one tap: Listen means it speaks only when someone says Agent, Chat lets it join in anytime, and Pause means it never sees the messages, even after being unpaused. A 1:1 agent sidebar lets you ask it questions without notifying the group.
Messages travel over the XMTP protocol, which uses Messaging Layer Security for 1:1 and group chats. XMTP lists forward secrecy, post-compromise security through key rotation, and message authentication with digital signatures. Welcome messages, which carry the group secrets, are protected with post-quantum key encapsulation and an extra HPKE layer that hides the sender and group ID.
How to start with Convos
- Convos is free on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, with in-app purchases, and it is also on Google Play.
- It needs no signup and no phone number: you join a conversation by scanning a QR code, tapping a link or using AirDrop, and each conversation gets a new identity.
- The App Store listing rates it 18+ and lists XMTP Labs as the developer.
Convos fees and limits
- Convos is free to download, and the US App Store lists two in-app purchases, both named Convos Plus, at $19.99 and $199.99; the listing does not say what period each covers.
- The terms of use, updated June 16, 2026, describe two paid items.
Credits pay for agent actions, are deducted when a message is sent even if delivery fails, and have no cash value. Subscriptions renew automatically at XMTP's then-current price until you cancel; upgrades apply at once, downgrades from the next billing period. XMTP may change prices at any time, fees are non-refundable unless stated otherwise, and App Store purchases follow Apple's refund rules.
Risks to know before using Convos
- Group agents read messages unless you set them to Pause, so decide per chat what the agent can see; the app lets you control data such as calendar access.
- The GitHub README says messages are stored on your device and that group chats can be set to an irreversible countdown, after which history is gone.
- The same README says the app collects no data, not even contact info.
- The iOS code is public on GitHub under xmtplabs/convos-ios.
