BAD privacy practice from the start

Can’t get started without uploading all your contacts. The stated goal of this app is to keep you in touch with your “real” friends: why do you want to connect me to my dentist, my boss, people I don’t know who may have inherited a contact’s old phone number, etc. Why not just let users invite who they really want? This app is getting DELETED now.

Poorly done WhatsApp clone

I’m not sure why this app exists. Asking me to upload all of my contacts is gross. I’m not interested to share my personal photos with my plumber and handyman.

Accesses your entire contact list

Ex-Facebook employees made an app that requires accessing your entire phones contact list.

You don’t need access to my Contacts for this to work.

Let me manually enter the names and numbers of people I’d like to contact. I don’t believe your privacy statement when the first thing you do is ask for my full contact list.

Best minimalist App

This is one of the best minimalist social + friends & family feel App.

What

Idk what this is supposed to be

Needs other ways to login

Not giving my phone number to an unknown new app… support login via Apple and I will go past the first screen

Great new experience!

I love the app so far, whenever I use it I I get discord vibes but with a new vibe! So far I have a few family members and I haven’t gotten any glitches so far! Overall 5 stars can’t wait to see what they add next.

A Promising Start

It's great to see a company take another swing at private and healthy social media, and I'd love to use HalloApp as a drop-in replacement for Instagram and Facebook.

Unfortunately, it's not quite there yet. For one, posts are automatically deleted after 30 days. I'm not sure if this was a deliberate design decision or a side effect of using the Signal protocol. But one of the things I'll often do on a platform like this is scroll back and view old memories and photos. Without the option to preserve posts, I don't see myself using it.

Still, it's a promising start and I'm keeping my eyes on this project. The instant posts can be preserved I'll be dumping Instagram and Facebook.

Additionally, I'd love to see capabilities for groups for event management and the like. Bring on the paid features!

Voice chat

In total, it’s fine but if it has voice chat and voice call and video call it was so better.
The other opinion is the ability of editing the messages and i think it would be better to have this ability.

Add this to the list...

...the list of messenger apps you never use. I have 14 messenger apps on my phone at the time of writing this review. HalloApp provides nothing substantial that I can’t get from other apps.

Again. Another social fail

Can’t start a group. Limit to 50! Can’t

Needs more granularity up front

The problem is in relying on your entire phone directory up front. If it were possible to start with a subset and build out, this would be a great start. As it is, once you have at least one contact, you can pick “just these people” but that’s not available until you’re already up and running. Would like to see this change if I’m going to convince people to try it out, because otherwise this is simple, granular, and seems to be an ideal replacement for mass social media. I look forward to revisions.

Problem in receiving verification code

Hey, I'm living in Iran and I couldn't receive verification code.
What should I do?
Thanks

It’s Great

It’s Simple, it’s reliable & it Works great.

You must upload your contact book in order to use this app.

Otherwise the app doesn’t work. This is misleading from a privacy perspective.
