Messages
Chat the way you actually talk
Socionn Messages is fast, real-time chat with everything a modern messenger should have, plus a few things you will not find everywhere, like photos and videos that disappear after one view.
Everything updates live: new messages, typing, delivered and seen status, and reactions.
Available on iOS, Android and web
What you get
Photos, videos and files
Send pictures, videos and documents. Share a post from the feed into a chat with one tap.
Voice notes
Hold the microphone to record, and send it in seconds. The player shows the length and progress.
View-once media
Send a photo or video that can be opened a single time and then disappears from the chat.
Reactions and replies
React to any message with an emoji, or reply to a specific message so the context is clear.
Delivered and seen
See when a message has been delivered and when it has been seen.
Unsend
Remove a message you sent. It disappears for both of you.

Can I send voice messages?+
Yes. Record a voice note in any chat and send it.
Can I delete a message after sending?+
Yes. Unsend removes it for both people.

Group chat lives in Communities, with photos, videos, voice notes and replies.
