FAQ Privacy

Getting started

How do I set up Minyma?

Install Minyma on your iPhone or iPad, choose a Minyma ID, complete device registration, and finish onboarding.

What if the same Minyma ID already exists?

If the account already exists on the relay, you may need to link from another signed-in device. If you no longer have another signed-in device, Minymata cannot recover that stranded Minyma ID for you, and you will need to create a new account with a new Minyma ID.

Security and trust

What does the app-lock PIN do?

It protects access to Minyma on the current device before the app can be opened.

What does the duress PIN do?

The duress PIN can wipe Minyma locally on the current device and, when enabled, first tries to delete the relay account before that local wipe.

How do I know a device identity changed?

Minyma includes visible trust and review-needed surfaces so identity changes do not stay hidden.

Account recovery and deletion

What does Delete Account remove?

Delete Account is intended to remove relay-held devices, queued delivery data, profile information, push tokens, and uploaded ciphertext attachments. It does not erase content already downloaded to other users' devices.

What does Reset Local Identity do?

It wipes Minyma on the current device and returns it to onboarding without automatically deleting the relay account. If the same Minyma ID still exists on the relay, using that same ID again may require a link token from another signed-in device. If you no longer have another signed-in device, you will need to create a new account with a new Minyma ID.

What if I wiped a device and cannot re-register?

If the same account still exists on the relay and you no longer have another signed-in device, Minymata cannot recover that lost or deleted Minyma ID for you. In that case, you will need to create a new account with a new Minyma ID.
