Thank you for always using Arc. Today, we want to share a major decision we have made to take on the global market.

Over the next few months, we will completely transform Arc into an app equipped with state-of-the-art privacy protection and offline communication capabilities to keep you connected even during disasters.
To ensure unmonitored, free conversation and provide a lifeline in times of crisis. In order to thoroughly protect you, our valued users, we have rebuilt our entire system from scratch.
As a result, we have reached the difficult decision not to transfer current user data to the new app. Attempting to merge the existing data would create vulnerabilities in the "perfect security" we aim to achieve.
We have chosen to prioritize "your safety" over current convenience. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this causes, but we ask for your understanding as we embark on this necessary challenge.
⚠️ [Important Request]
Please ensure you exchange alternative contact information (such as other SNS handles or messaging apps) with friends you are connected to only on Arc by mid-February.
Current data will be reset. Thank you for your cooperation.
🚀 How You Can Support Us
As a Japanese startup, we are ready to take on the world. To survive in the tough global market and sustain our development, we plan to introduce "Paid Plans" in the future.
For our Free Plan users, we have a favor to ask. Could you please support us by clicking on ads within the app? Your single click helps fund our development and empowers us to challenge the global stage.
Although we are causing inconvenience now, we promise to repay you by delivering "the world's safest and most useful app."
Please look forward to the new Arc. Many thanks,
