What does Hike Sticker Chat do?
Hike Sticker Chat allows you to save the cost of sending SMS by exchanging free messages with anyone else who has the app installed, regardless of what smartphone platform you are using. It can even
send SMS messages for free
to someone—though this service
only works in India
.
Here, besides just chatting via
instant messaging
, you can
attach images
,
video
,
audio
, and
voice messages
to your conversations. There's also an option for
sharing your location
with the person you're chatting with. A group chatting feature is included, too.
Hike Sticker Chat includes a
wide selection of
fun
emoticons
that you can add to your chats, which are
grouped into three
different types of characters. For the privacy-conscious users, it also offers a handy "
Hidden Mode
", which allows you to hide chats that you want to keep private and you can set passwords to protect them further.
Is Hike Sticker Chat safe to use?
With this messenger tool, you can guarantee that you are safe and secure as it encrypts your personal data with a roughly
military-grade class encryption
. It consists of a 128-bit advanced encryption standard (AES) and 2048-bit RSA. Moreover, all files uploaded to the platform are backed up with the app's
built-in cloud service
.
The setup process is as simple as possible, just like in other chat messaging tools such as
Viber
. You only need to
enter your phone number
and you'll be sent an activation code via SMS immediately. Enter this into the field provided and you're good to go.
You can
easily view all your friends
on here by tapping the Contacts button. This will pull up a list of people from your phone contacts book who have Hike Sticker Chat—as well as allowing you to
invite friends
who don't have this app installed yet.
Is Hike Sticker Chat better than WhatsApp?
Ultimately, Hike Sticker Chat is very similar to WhatsApp. It shares almost all of the same features—though it could be said that WhatsApp is a bit more polished. It doesn't have the customization options of WhatsApp, which allows you to change the background image of the chat window. WhatsApp has a more varied range of emoticons, too. Nevertheless, the user interface of this messaging app still
looks great
. This is a
fast and easy platform
to virtually chat free-of-charge with your buddies.
Significant improvements have been made to Hike's messaging,
making it faster on GPRS and 2G networks
.
Hike Sticker Chat is also continuing to be streamlined to make it less resource intensive, allowing
better performance on low-end Android devices
.
