The first live pilot runs in 3 rooms
Bring your group to WLP chat
For organisers of adult associations, alumni networks and clubs with 50 to 500 members.
- Invite members with a Passport link, not a spreadsheet of phone numbers.
- Your purpose, rules, retention and sponsor policy, shown before anyone joins.
- An invitation chain you can audit, and links you can revoke in one tap.
- Nothing is charged to request a room or to try it with the study team.
Not sure it fits? Take the 3-tap fit check or read how groups move their chat.

Within two working days, from hello@wlpchat.example. If the pilot does not suit your group, we say so and why.
Try it with the study team
A facilitated session: you write the room’s Passport and send it to a few committee members, on your own phones.
Move in when the pilot opens
Your members join with your Passport link. The first live pilot runs in 3 rooms, on a reviewed encrypted messaging layer.
Who the pilot is for
A good fit
- An established group of adults with 50 to 500 members
- An organiser or committee who posts announcements
- Members who today share phone numbers in a group chat
- A reason to keep the room private: invitation only
Not a fit yet
- Groups with members under 18
- Groups that need direct messages or calls today
- Public communities anyone should be able to find and join
- Teams that need large file storage (files are capped at 10 MB)
Questions organisers ask
What does it cost?
Nothing to request a room or to try it with the study team. Members always use WLP chat free. The organiser plans on the organisers page are test prices for the pilot; nothing can be bought in the current build.
Do members need to install anything?
Yes: the WLP chat app, or the web preview in a browser. They open your Passport link and pick a name for your room. Nobody enters a phone number or an email.
What happens to our messages?
In the research build, messages stay on each phone and nothing is sent over a network. Before any room goes live, the pilot adopts a reviewed encrypted messaging layer, and the privacy page will list exactly what the server receives.
Do we have to leave WhatsApp straight away?
No. You can run both while members move across, then make the old group read-only. Our guide walks through it step by step. Read the guide.
Can members leave?
Any member can leave a room at any time, and delete everything the app stores on their phone from Settings.
Who will we talk to?
The study team building WLP chat. Replies come from hello@wlpchat.example.
