BEAN TALK is a chat app that anyone can join. Make a room and talk with one person or many. You can see who has read what, and photos and files drop straight into the conversation. Call with voice, turn the camera on to see each other, or share your screen when showing is faster than telling. When several people are in a call you can set each person's volume on your own side. Tap Sign up on the login screen to make an account there and then. It is free, and anyone can join — no invitation and no company or organisation needed. You can also start with a Google, Naver or Kakao account. The same app runs on Mac and Windows, so a conversation you started on a computer carries on from your phone. If you run your own server, add its address on the login screen and sign in there instead. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.0.5 — 2026-09-26 - Fixed names in the small call tiles being partly hidden behind the sound level meter. - Fixed the chat list being pushed up when a call opens, which hid the latest messages. - Fixed message times and the muted-microphone label reading oddly in languages other than Korean. - The notice shown after the app closes unexpectedly now matches the other BEAN apps. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-25 The area below the login button is now tidier. Only three buttons sit under Log in: Sign up, Sign up with SNS, and Find ID / password. Before, six social login buttons were laid out like plain text and looked cluttered. Tap Sign up with SNS to see the social accounts the server allows, one button per line. A new account is signed up on the spot; an account that is already registered signs straight in. Sheets such as Sign up used to float in the middle of the screen and looked cut off at the bottom. They now slide up from the bottom, and the screen behind them is dimmed. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-24 You can now sign in with a social account right from the login screen. Buttons appear for whichever of Google, Naver, Kakao, Apple, Facebook and X the server has turned on. Tapping one opens the sign-in page inside the app, and when you finish you come straight back into BEAN TALK. If the account is new, it is created on the spot. The sign-up form now follows the server's member settings. It only asks for the fields the server uses and checks the password against the same rules as the server. Members who joined with a social account can also delete their account from Account settings. Instead of a password, they confirm once more with that social account. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-24 Fixed no audio in either direction when you came back from another app and joined a voice call. On iPhone the system takes the microphone and silences it when the app goes to the background - the track stays alive, so the app kept reusing a microphone that was already silent. The app now wakes the audio and takes a fresh microphone when it returns to the foreground, and recovers on its own if you leave and come back during a call. Also fixed the preview tile flickering in and out with the sound dropping each time, and mute not responding. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-22 Calls are much more reliable now. - Lighter on your device with several people in the room, and it connects even on restricted networks. - You can talk with people on the web, on Mac and on Windows. - Fixed voices sounding squashed and first syllables being cut off. Calling changed in this version, so it will not connect to older versions. Please ask the people you call to update as well. ## More apps by JUHYEON CHO - [BEAN VOICE](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bean-voice/id6811266463) - [BEAN PICK](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bean-pick/id6811362471) - [BEAN AUTOCUT](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bean-autocut/id6811814910) All apps by JUHYEON CHO: https://appshunter.io/developer/6811266465 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
