Can people I don't know contact me on Wire?

  • Updated September 09, 2021 06:37

You must accept a connection request to receive 1:1 messages from others on Wire. Only auto-connections are made without a connection request – auto-connections are contacts who are in your (shared) address book, and/or you are in theirs.
