HelloMe - Messenger

HelloMe is a messaging app for talking with people you know, and for businesses to respond to their customers from the same phone.

MESSAGES

Write, send a voice message, a photo, a video, or a document. Documents open in HelloMe, and everything you receive remains readable offline. Reply to a message by swiping it, or directly from the notification.

GROUPS

Tap "New Group," choose people from your contacts, name the group, and everyone can chat together.

YOUR CONTACTS

To show you which of your friends and family already use HelloMe, the app requests access to your phone's contacts. Before reading anything, HelloMe explains what it will do and waits for your approval. With your consent, the names and phone numbers in your address book are sent to HelloMe's servers to be linked to HelloMe accounts. Contacts who already use HelloMe appear in your list, ready for a chat, a call, or a group. You can also see when one of your contacts joins HelloMe.

Contacts who aren't yet on HelloMe appear under "Invite to HelloMe." Tap "Invite" to share an invitation message with them using the app of your choice. HelloMe never sends them anything on its own.

You can restart the sync at any time from Settings > Contact Sync. You can also add someone manually with "New Contact": this contact will remain only on your phone.

If you deny access, HelloMe still works: you can find someone by their name, username, phone number, or email address.

CALLS

Audio and video calls, one-on-one or group. Minimize the video call: your contact stays on screen while you do something else. Missing someone in the conversation? Ring them without hanging up.

YOUR STATUS

Share a text, photo, or video for 24 hours. You choose who sees it, and you see who has seen it. Replies can be written or voice.

YOUR PRIVACY

In Settings > My Privacy, you decide who can see your last seen status, profile picture, bio, and phone number. You also decide who can call you, who can add you to a group, and whether you can be found through search. You can enable or disable read receipts.

IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS

HelloMe also works for businesses. Create a workspace, invite your team, and assign roles to each member. Then, respond to your customers from your phone: see the queue of pending conversations and who is currently on your site, set your opening hours and welcome message, and have an assistant take over at night. Messages from your customers on WhatsApp and Telegram arrive in the same place.
