Rakkan is a chat app for couples who don't share a first language. You type in your language, your partner reads it in theirs, and it actually sounds like you. Not a robotic word swap. Rakkan learns the context of your relationship, your nicknames, the way you talk to each other, the people and places you mention, and it keeps that context in every message. Before anything sends, Rakkan shows you how your message reads back in your own language, so you always know exactly what your partner is about to see. No more guessing whether the translation got it right. What you can do: - Chat in real time, each of you in your own language - See the "reads back as" check on every message before it lands - Send voice messages that arrive as translated text - Share photos - Video call with live translated captions, so you can talk face to face even when the words don't match - React, reply, edit, and search your whole history - Rakkan quietly remembers the things that matter, birthdays, anniversaries, names, so you don't have to Built for long-distance and cross-language couples who are tired of copy-pasting into a translator and losing the meaning every time. Languages Full app in English, Thai, Khmer, Lao, German, Italian and Slovak, and it translates between almost any language pair automatically. Private by design Rakkan is made for two people. Conversations are private, between adults who have accepted each other's request. You must be 18 or older to use it.

Turn it on in Settings under Call captions. The photo and video buttons on calls can be stacked vertically now instead of side by side. Yours to arrange in Settings. Read receipts finally talk to each other: read a chat on one device and the unread badge on your iPhone clears too, instead of waiting for you to open the app. Translation understands time better. Messages about things that already happened stay in the past tense, both in what your partner reads and in the read-back you check before sending. Plus smaller fixes and polish throughout. ### 1.1.43 — 2026-08-18 Push to listen: a new way to run live call captions. Hold the caption button while you speak and release it while you listen, so your caption minutes only count when your words are actually being translated. Find it in Settings under Call captions. Auto captions stay the default, and the button can be dragged anywhere on the call screen. Call settings are now easier to find: captions have their own section, and call photos and videos have theirs. Fixes: - The call screen could stop responding to taps while captions were on screen, which made it hard to reach the hang up button. Fixed. - Caption minutes could keep counting after your captions had already run out mid call. They stop now, and topping up mid call gives you every minute you paid for. - Saving a video now says Save video, and video messages show a proper notification preview. - Auto-save media now saves only real photos and videos, not GIFs and stickers. - Smoother photo and video capture during calls, with fixes for taps that could trigger accidentally. ### 1.1.42 — 2026-08-16 Rakkan comes to your Home and Lock Screen. New widgets show your partner's name, their local time, whether it's day or night for them, and your unread count at a glance. Add them from the widget gallery. Rakkan Plus: a small optional add-on that keeps every translation instant for both of you, all day. Messages on the free plan stay unlimited and full quality, always. Record up to 5 minutes of a video call: a new one-time unlock raises the recording limit on any plan. Premium now record longer clips out of the box. The in-call camera buttons are yours now: drag them anywhere on the screen, split photo and video apart, or hide them entirely in Settings, Call captions. The nickname you gave your partner now follows them everywhere: notifications, your daily digest, and your Connections list. Plus fixes and polish throughout. ### 1.1.41 — 2026-08-11 • Record videos on your calls: save up to 30 seconds of your partner's video straight to your gallery. Hold the button to record, or tap to start and tap again to stop. Your partner always sees when a photo or video is captured, and either of you can turn capture off in Settings • The in-call camera buttons now stay on screen for the whole call, and you can drag them to any corner • Live call captions now offer all 23 app languages • A shorter, friendlier sign-up: three small steps with a progress bar, and your first step already done • Stickers and GIFs now display without a frame, chat wallpapers got a visual fix, and the sticker drawer pulls up to full height • Smarter translations: more fixes for tricky sentences, like keeping straight whose things you are both talking about • Various fixes and polish across chat, calls, and translation ### 1.1.40 — 2026-08-10 Make your own stickers! Cut yourself out of any photo and send it as a sticker, then reuse your favorites from the new My Stickers tray. A better photo editor: pinch to zoom, crop, and undo any step. Message effects: birthdays and celebrations now come with a little magic. Rakkan now asks for your date of birth, once. Rakkan is for adults 18 and over, and your age helps the translator pick the right kind of language for you. Whether your age or birthday is visible to anyone is entirely your choice, in your profile settings. Times you mention in chat now show correctly in both of your time zones. Smarter, more faithful translations and plenty of small fixes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
