One of the most downloaded global messenger, Hike has been updated with 4 cool features.
The new updates to Hike are:
- Stickers, from characters to rage faces.
- ‘Lastseen’ lets you control who can see the time at which you were last active on Hike; it’s claimed to be more private than Whatsapp’s implementation.
- Push-to-talk voice messaging, called walkie-talkie by the Hike team.
- Offline messaging by clever hot-switching to SMS when you don’t have access to mobile data
Hike’s representative Pathik Shah adds a new feature called offline messaging that switches from mobile data to SMS, when mobile data is not available. Shah says that offline messaging is powerful attraction where markets in India lags data connectivity. Push to talk is also a good innovation where you can finish spelling the word rather than typing it across your keypad. On having in mind that Hike launched in its home(India) and expanded globally last December fulfilled with apps across the common platforms, it’s really doing a great job at a good pace.
