## What is MINAWA?

MINAWA is a social network built around your voice.

Some feelings are easier to hear than to type.
Speak when you want to speak. Listen when you want to listen.

Closer than text. Easier than video.
The world, a hug away.

VOICES

Record and share voice posts.
Hear voices from friends and people you follow, and discover new people through sound.

WHISPERS

Share a voice or photo for 24 hours.
A quiet place for thoughts, feelings, and moments that do not need to stay forever.

SMILE & HUG

React to voice posts with a Smile.
During Stage, send a Hug to warmly support the live conversation.

ONE-TO-ONE CALLS

Connect directly through private voice calls.
On supported devices, incoming calls can be answered from the lock screen.

STAGE

Join live, audio-only conversations.
Listen, react, raise your hand, or step onto the Stage.
Up to 500 listeners can join.

HUB CONNECT

Together in the same place?
Tap at the same time and connect without searching or scanning a QR code.

RADIO

Play Voices continuously, like a personal radio made from the people you follow.

TODAY’S PROMPT

Answer a new daily prompt with your voice.
One small recording can become a new connection somewhere in the world.

Post. Whisper. Call. Gather. Connect.
