AryanHub
Everything AryanHub does, A to Z
AryanHub is a free chat app made in India: messaging, voice and video calls, groups, Stories, Notes, Watch Party, an AI assistant and games — in the browser or installed on your phone. This is the complete list of what it does today, in plain words.
- Alexa AI
- Type “alexa” in any group, or message @alexaai directly, and AryanHub’s built-in assistant answers right there in the chat. It keeps a memory per chat — a group where it has been used, or your own Alexa DM — and never mixes one chat with another. Point it at a photo or video and it can look at that too.
- Auto-delete timer
- Make the messages in a chat disappear after a chosen time — for both sides.
- Albums
- Send several photos and videos together as one album.
- Active sessions
- See every device you are signed in on, log the others out, and have old sessions end automatically after a period you choose.
- Block
- Block anyone. They can’t message you, and your online status and last seen are hidden from them.
- Birthday
- Add your birthday to your profile.
- Calls
- Voice and video calls, one to one. Calls run over WebRTC, peer to peer whenever the network allows.
- Group calls & call links
- Call a whole group, or share a link to a call room that people can join.
- Contacts & close friends
- Add contacts, keep a private note about each one, and build a Close Friends list for Notes and Stories.
- Chat folders
- Sort your chats into folders and reorder them.
- Emoji status
- Put an emoji next to your name.
- Dark & light themes
- Follow your system, or pick one.
- Drafts
- Unfinished messages are saved as drafts and synced.
- Delete for everyone
- Remove a message from both sides of the conversation.
- Edit

- Groups
- Create groups with admins, member permissions, invite links, slow mode, hidden history for newcomers, restrict-and-ban tools and public usernames.
- GIFs
- Search for GIFs, send them, save your favourites.
- Guest chats (temporary)
- Share aryanhub.in/your-username/tc and someone without an account can chat with you in a temporary chat. It cleans itself up when the guest leaves.
- History on your device
- Chats you have opened are kept on your phone or computer, so they open instantly and keep working on a slow network.
- Invite links
- Create, edit and revoke invite links for a group, and see who joined through each one.
- Install it

- Last seen & online privacy
- Everybody, my contacts, or nobody — with exceptions either way.
- Ludo

- Music
- AryanHub Music: search and play songs inside the app, and add a song to your Note.
- Mentions
- @mention people in groups; a badge shows the mentions you haven’t read.
- Notes
- A short note that sits above the chat list for 24 hours — with a song, a reply box and likes. Show it to your contacts or only to close friends.
- Notifications
- New-message notifications in your browser or the installed app.

Under the hood
AryanHub is built on the open-source Telegram Web K client, connected to AryanHub’s own servers instead of Telegram’s. Your chats are stored on your device after the first open (that is why a chat opens instantly and works on a weak network), the database lives on a server in Mumbai, and every connection is encrypted. How your data is protected, in detail: Safety & Security. What is stored and who can see it: Privacy.
Questions
Is AryanHub free?
Yes. Every feature on this page is free.
Do I need to install anything?
No — it works in the browser at aryanhub.in. You can add it to your home screen to use it like an app.
Can I chat with someone who has no account?
Yes. Share aryanhub.in/your-username/tc and they get a temporary guest chat with you, no sign-up needed.
What is Alexa?
AryanHub’s AI assistant. Write “alexa” in a group or message @alexaai and it replies in the chat, remembering that chat’s context.
Is AryanHub the same as Telegram?
No. It uses the open-source Telegram Web K interface, but it is a separate service with its own accounts, servers and features (Notes, Watch Party, Alexa, Ludo, guest chats and more).
