About
Whisper was a free anonymous social media mobile app developed by WhisperText LLC. Users posted 'whispers' — text superimposed over images — without attaching their real identity, creating a platform for candid self-expression, confessions, and community connection. At its peak, Whisper reached over 20 million monthly active users. Founded in March 2012 by Michael Heyward and headquartered in Venice, California, Whisper raised approximately $60 million in funding. The app was removed from the Apple App Store in October 2024.
