Successful Features of a Chat App:

Now, Let us take a good look at the inbuilt features offered by a comprehensive chat app:

1. Instant Messaging:

This is the basis of your app’s success, and a basic feature of all chat apps. It operates largely through a user’s connection to the internet, and even when they go offline, users are able to receive all the notifications they missed when they go back online. Will the app host custom fonts, stickers, and emojis, or a “mute chat” feature for those group chats that never stop buzzing? A scheduling in advance feature could also draw users (e.g. push notification reminders of upcoming birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays). Skype does this to a limited degree, but you can take it further.

2. Real Time Connectivity:

Linked to the ‘instant’ in instant messaging, real time connectivity is the preferred medium for chat apps, because message delivery happens promptly and immediately, without any distance barriers, making users feel closer to each other.

1. VOIP Phone Calls:

Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) is the classification of technologies to deliver the voice communication and multimedia sessions over the Internet Protocol.

2. Video Chats:

Lets to make calls directly to communicate with a personal touch experience with voice/video without an intermediate connection.

3. Group Calls:

The chat app allows the user further to connect with other users with the facilitation of group conversation through Video/Audio.

4. End-to-End Chat Encryption:

User safe encryption to secure from third-party infiltration. Prioritize in user private data security through advanced premium encryption technologies.

5. Cloud Service Sync:

6. Multimedia Support:

File transfer of various data formats such as video, images, Gifs, voice note, animation, documents, contact, and location.

7. Self — Destructing Messages:

Lets to send a whisper by tapping on the recipient name in a group where the messages can’t be seen by other persons.

8. Geolocation Integration:

9. Calendar Synchronization:

Calendar sync provides a thorough knowledge of the events and tasks that will appear where you are yet to plan your day.

10. Multi-platform Chatting:

The cross-platform messaging will allow you to be engaged within your reach while at a desk or on the go.

11. In-app Purchase:

12. Payment Integration:
