Voice & video calls
Talk face to face, without leaving the app
Tap the phone or the camera in any Socionn chat and you are connected. There are no numbers to swap and no other app to open.
Calls ring like a normal phone call: on the lock screen, with the full incoming-call screen, even when Socionn is closed. They run on LiveKit's real-time network, built for fast, stable connections.
Available in the iOS and Android apps
What you get
One tap from any chat
Call the person you are already talking to. Choose voice or video from the top of the conversation.
Rings when the app is closed
Incoming calls reach you on the lock screen, so you do not miss one because the app was not open.
The controls you expect
Mute your microphone, switch the speaker, and turn your camera on or off during the call.
Voice or video, your choice
Start with voice and keep your camera off, or go face to face on video.
Only people who can reach you
Blocked people cannot call you, and Souls calls need a match first.
Built on real-time infrastructure
Socionn uses LiveKit's real-time network for low-delay audio and video.
