About this app
Enjoy the most complete messaging app on Android. Where everything is free and you can even save money on your mobile bill. Brought to you in part by Airtel.
Our app is an upgrade to the default SMS app that came with your phone. In addition to texting (SMS/MMS), we offer secure end-to-end encrypted RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging with other users, similar to what iMessage offers to iPhones. You get all the best messaging features, and the next generation of messaging tools unique to our app.
If the person you’re texting is also a user of an app in our partner network, and connected to the internet, messages will be exchanged as RCS. RCS is the upgrade to SMS which makes it possible to send large videos, higher quality pictures and GIFs to other app users using WIFI or internet data. In addition, our RCS is end-to-end encrypted, making your conversations with other users secure.
When you engage with ads in our app, you will earn credits which can be used to redeem for additional airtime with your mobile operator. In addition, we offer an optional community and AI to match you with services and product that you’re looking for, potentially saving on your mobile bill and even enabling you to earn extra money!
Our app enables you to chat with anyone in the world. But we’re also working with local telecommunication partners to better connect you with people near you and ensure your messages with others in the country stay there…making it truly Messages Improved by Nigeria.
Key Messaging Features:
- Folders and custom labels to organize your chats
- Fully customizable with color themes, backgrounds and bubble styles
- Encrypted RCS chat for secure and free international messaging
- Schedule messages or cancel them before they send
- Audio / Voice messages
THE STREAM (COMING SOON): Once enabled, there is a “stream” attached to each conversation. The stream combines the best of social media and the internet, where you are given recommendations for content, answers and information related to your conversation, but in a separate screen so it’s not annoying. Just swipe left to access it.
Want to sublet your apartment, sell some of your things or have spare time to teach or earn extra cash? Why just ask your friends and family? Open it up to our user network via campaigns. When others text about something that matches your campaign, they could see your campaign in their stream.
Create a campaign just by tapping the “ask others” option in your message. Or go to the “Campaign” tab and tap the “+” sign in the bottom right corner. When you engage with campaigns, you're rewarded with credits that can be used to add data from your mobile service plan. No personal information is collected by us aside from your telephone number, which is needed for user authentication and to send/receive messages.
Our app is compatible with MightyText, Pushbullet and mySMS for desktop and web access (our own desktop version is coming soon). Our app syncs with any Android smartwatch, watch or wearable.
