Frequent Asked Questions

Imma is a free communication platform built specifically for the global Christian community. It combines the best features of apps like WhatsApp and Telegram with integrated ministry tools like an in-app Bible, livestreaming, and event planning—all in one secure, ad-free place designed for fellowship and discipleship.

"Imma" is derived from the Biblical Hebrew word "Immanuel,"which means "God with us"(Matthew 1:23). This name reflects our core mission: to foster a sense of God's presence and community in our digital interactions.

While those are great general-purpose apps, Imma is purpose-built for Christian life. Key differences include:

• Integrated Bible: Share scripture instantly without switching apps.
• Ministry-First Features: Native tools for prayer requests, livestreaming sermons, and church events.
• Christ-Centered Environment: Communities are focused on faith, free from ads and the noise of secular platforms.
• Unified Tool: Replaces the need for multiple apps (e.g., a chat app and a streaming app and a polling tool).

Imma is for every member of the Body of Christ! It's designed for:

• Individuals seeking faithful community.
• Groups for Bible study and connection.
• Churches (pastors, staff, and entire congregations).
• Ministry Teams (outreach, worship, youth, etc.).
• Christian Organizations and nonprofits.

At Imma, we believe fellowship requires trust, and trust requires security. We are committed to creating a sanctuary for your conversations, free from intrusion and commercial exploitation.

• End-to-End Encryption (E2EE): Your private messages and voice/video calls are protected by end-to-end encryption. This means your conversations stay strictly between you and the recipient(s). Not even we at Imma can read or listen to them
• A Strict No-Data-Sale Policy: We will never sell your personal data, message content, or contact list to any third party. Your information is not a product to us.
• An Ad-Free Sanctuary: Imma will never display targeted ads or sponsored content. We are building a place for spiritual connection, not consumerism.

To maintain and improve this free platform, we will rely on the support of our community through optional Imma Premium subscriptions (for enhanced features like expanded cloud storage or custom church branding) and heartfelt donations. This model ensures our allegiance remains with our users, not advertisers.

Imma is a tool designed to serve the entire, global Body of Christ. Our goal is to build a platform that serves believers across denominations for fellowship and the advancement of the Gospel.
