Questions
How many people can be in a group?
Up to 256 people, including you.
Can Rabt read my group chats?
No. Group chats are end-to-end encrypted, just like one-to-one chats. Only the phones of the people in the group can read the messages. How Rabt protects you
Can a new member read old messages?
No. People who join only see messages sent after they were added.

You won’t hear new messages, except when someone mentions you with @.
