What’s new?

Talk for Android features:

Application shortcuts

Howsoever simple it is to use an app and get work done with it, our attention will always be on shortcuts! Talk 9.0.0 brings easier access to the recent conversations by just long-pressing on the app launcher.

Swipe to reply

And since we’re talking about shortcuts, swiping to do something when using a mobile phone or tablet is always more practical and fun! If you want to reply to a message on a topic that needs your input, just open the conversation and SWIPE to reply to that message. Simple 🙂

Invite people to a conversation

Now you will be able to invite people to a conversation even when you’re attending a call or chatting on your mobile! Just choose the way you want to share that conversation, via email to one of your contacts or to a circle!

Remodelled UI

A software that is friendly to the user and intuitive/ easy to use or understand is always one of our focuses! That’s why we have been making significant improvements to the Talk for Android app! Don’t forget to get the latest and greatest on your device to experience the importance of all the changes!

Talk for iOS features:

Mute participants

This feature allows a moderator to force-mute other participants. If a moderator chooses to mute a participant in a conversation, the app mutes that participant for all the users. A muted user will receive a “You have been muted by a moderator” warning. If you usually have large community calls, you can use this feature if someone violates the code of conduct or misbehaves for example.

Show speaker indicator

Group calls now show a speaker indicator, so everyone in a call knows who is speaking, who is muted or not. Now, if you hear any keyboard typing as a background noise when someone is speaking, you’ll know where it comes from 😉 Just check which user is unmuted.

Limit conversations creation

This feature, based on admin settings, can be used to limit the users ability of creating new unwanted conversations, depending on the group they belong to.

Tip: Did you know that Talk 8.0 for iOS brought multi-accounts? If you missed the updates, take a look now and connect all your accounts to your mobile app.
