World App launch today is a significant move towards encrypting chats, making payments borderless, & creating digital identities without any limitations. Tools for Humanity unveiled the upgraded app at its San Francisco headquarters. The new World App launch combines secure messaging, cross-border financial tools, and verified human identities into one seamless experience. The World App now serves nearly 40 million users, with close to 20 million holding verified World IDs.
“World shows what a human-verified internet can look like. How different it feels when you know who’s real,” said Tiago Sada, Chief Product Officer at Tools for Humanity.“World App is a place where people can communicate, send digital assets, save, invest and use apps in one seamless experience. These features aren’t experimental they’re useful today, and they’re only the beginning of what a human-centered digital ecosystem can unlock.”
Furthermore, World App was the most popular digital wallet globally in terms of monthly active users in September 2025. The launch is accompanied by World Chat, a private and fully encrypted communication network designed for confidential human interaction. World Chat uses end-to-end encryption to protect conversations and displays unique indicators when participants are verified.
Besides that, users can now send a digital asset to someone or request it from them within the conversation instantly and without any in-app charges. Also, third-party Mini Apps are now available within message threads for games, prediction markets, and financial tools. The updated app extends the reach of global finance through virtual accounts in various countries. People can now get their salaries directly in the World App & can also exchange their money for stablecoins like USDC. Additionally, users can earn up to 18% APY on WLD and 15% on USDC, backed by World ID security features.
