#### Delta Chat is a messaging app that works over e-mail

Delta Chat is a new chat app that sends messages via e-mails, encrypted if possible, with Autocrypt.
You do not have to sign up anywhere, just use your existing e-mail account with Delta Chat.

To be able to scan QR codes and record voice messages this application needs some permissions.
To grant these permissions run:

`sudo snap connect deltachat-desktop:camera`
 `sudo snap connect deltachat-desktop:audio-record`

in a terminal.

All your configs are located at ~/snap/deltachat-desktop/current/.config/DeltaChat
