Hike Messenger has announced the launch of Video Stories. Users can share videos of up to 20 seconds on the new Stories feature and can spice them up, making them more dramatic and funky with the use of Live Filters and Stickers.
Live Filters automatically detect and recognize a user’s face using Machine Learning and help people have more fun while storytelling. Live filters being launched for this festive season include a cool Girl Santa, cute Elf, wacky Christmas Tree, Rudolph the Reindeer and Snowman.
Hike is also launching Animated Stickers specially for this festive season. The newly launched animated stickers include packs for Christmas, New Year, the very popular Hikin, Penguin and Dance for the ongoing wedding season in parts of the country. Hike has also created some new year resolution stickers.
Both Video and Photo Stories on Hike vanish after 48 hours making way for users to tell their new day’s stories. They can be posted on Hike Stories, or can even be shared directly with friends. Users can see how many people and who all viewed their story.
