Yahoo has silently released its free app, the Live Text, which allows you to video text your near and dear ones. With the help of the Livetext ID, the new video texting app can help you find friends based on your address book on your phone.
You may be under the notion that this app will allow you to make a video call for free, But wait! This doesn’t support sound, which means video calling shouldn’t be expected from this app. It only allows you to see the reaction of your friend while texting.
Yahoo claims that this app has been introduced with the aim of giving importance to your words and your friend's real-time reactions at the center of your interaction.
Key features:
- Free Forever: You and your friends can live video text as much as you want! Livetext uses your internet connection (Wi-Fi when available and your cell connection otherwise.)
- One-To-One: Not for group messaging, it's like you're passing notes in class.
- Text + Live Video: Both at the same time - it's amazing.
- No Calls: Just live video text your friends and you'll see them instantly when they enter chat.
- Add Friends: Use their Livetext ID or your address book contacts to connect.
- Profile Picture: Use any image to show your friends who you are.
The Yahoo Livetext app will only be available on Hong Kong iTunes iOS app during its initial stages.
