Texty — Conversaciones con gente interesante Apps para conocer gente hay muchas. Todas giran alrededor de lo mismo: fotos, likes, filtros, scroll infinito, un algoritmo que decide qué ves. Texty es distinta. Aquí no hay nada de eso. Solo texto. Ni fotos de perfil, ni stickers, ni vídeos, ni audios. Lo que dices es lo único que importa. Lo que escribes es lo que te representa. Matching por intereses de verdad. Eliges tus temas (filosofía, astronomía, música, lo que sea) y encuentras gente que comparte exactamente eso. Nada de algoritmos opacos: el matching es transparente y se basa en lo que te interesa hablar. Conversaciones privadas, nada más. Todo es 1 a 1. No hay feed público, no hay stories, no hay muro, no hay "amigos de amigos". Cuando hablas con alguien, lo que decís se queda entre vosotros. Sin ruido, sin dopamina barata. No hay likes, ni seguidores, ni notificaciones que te chantajean para volver. Cuando cierras la app, se acabó. --- Lo que puedes hacer: • Descubrir personas que comparten tus intereses y hablan tu idioma • Filtrar por tipo de conversación (debatir, aprender, enseñar, charla relajada) • Enviar y recibir mensajes en tiempo real • Editar y eliminar mensajes (15 minutos para editar; eliminar siempre) • Responder a un mensaje concreto con un gesto (swipe a la derecha) • Archivar o silenciar conversaciones que no quieras ver • Bloquear o reportar a cualquier usuario con un par de toques --- Privacidad real, no marketing: • Nunca mostramos tu email a nadie • No recogemos fotos, ubicación, edad ni datos biométricos • Tus mensajes se guardan cifrados en servidores europeos • Eliminas tu cuenta cuando quieras • Cumplimiento completo del RGPD --- Texty es para ti si: • Te aburren los perfiles que son solo fotos • Quieres hablar de temas que nadie de tu entorno saca • Te importa más el contenido que el contenedor • Echas de menos internet cuando era más conversación y menos escaparate Mayores de 16 años.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Texty at none against SubWidget's 3. Texty also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). SubWidget's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
