If you want to verify the authenticity of the chat with other people, you can perform a key verification. To do this, click on the corresponding person in the list of persons in the room / private chat.

Then click on the person you want to verify.

To start the verification process, click on “Verify”. You must now wait for the other person to accept the request on their end.

Once the request is accepted, you can select a verification method. Usually this is “Verify by emojis”.

Now compare the emojis and click “They match” if the displayed emojis are the same.

This completes the verification process.
