Contact Settings
Each contact in Anonomi has its own Contact Settings.
These settings let you tailor behavior per person, rather than applying global rules.
To access Contact Settings:
- Open a conversation with a contact
- Tap the three dots in the top-right corner
- Select Contact Settings
Contact name
Section titled “Contact name”You can assign a custom name to a contact.
- This name is only visible to you
- It does not affect the contact’s identity or cryptographic keys
- Changing the name does not notify the contact
Use this to:
- Replace temporary or unclear names
- Use aliases instead of real names
- Organize contacts safely if your device is inspected
Panic contact
Section titled “Panic contact”When Panic Contact is enabled, this contact becomes part of your panic workflow.
If panic mode is triggered:
- This contact may receive a panic message (when delivery is possible)
- The message is intended to signal distress or coercion
- Delivery depends on connectivity at the time (online or offline)
Important notes
- Panic messages are best-effort, not guaranteed
- Enabling this does not expose the contact unless panic mode is triggered
- Choose panic contacts carefully

Distorted audio messages
Section titled “Distorted audio messages”When enabled, audio messages sent to this contact are distorted.
This provides:
- Reduced voice recognizability
- Additional protection against voice identification
- A different risk profile than clear voice messages
Things to keep in mind:
- Distortion applies only to audio messages
- Text messages are unaffected
- Distortion is applied automatically when sending
Use this for contacts where voice identification would increase risk.
Per-contact control
Section titled “Per-contact control”Contact Settings allow you to:
- Treat different contacts with different risk assumptions
- Combine safety features selectively
- Avoid one-size-fits-all behavior
This is intentional: trust and threat models differ per relationship.
