Ping(BigGo Chat) vs Ping Friends

BigGo Chat gives conversations at work and at home a space of their own. Move a project forward with coworkers, share your children's milestones with family, plan an outing with friends, or connect with a community that shares your interests. Keep messages, photos, files and discussions together, bringing order to work and turning everyday family moments into memories to treasure. A SPACE FOR EVERY TOPIC Create a Team for your company, family or community, then organize topics into public or private Channels. Project updates, family trips and children's milestones each have their place. Keep related replies together in Threads, making work decisions and family plans easier to revisit. FROM A MESSAGE TO A CONVERSATION Choose a one-to-one DM (Direct Message), a Group conversation or a voice call to suit the moment. Built on WebRTC real-time communication, with ICE connection negotiation, UDP transport and TURN/TURNS relays, BigGo Chat delivers clear, smooth, low-latency voice so conversations flow naturally. SHARE FILES, TREASURE FAMILY MEMORIES A video of your child's first steps, a family holiday photo, a caring message from an older relative: everyday moments worth keeping. Share photos and videos in your family's own space, preserving the replies and feelings that give each memory its story and warmth. Keep files and conversations together, from personal photos to work documents. Use Full-text Search to find messages and files, revisit the context of a discussion, or relive moments your family has shared. NOTIFICATIONS AT YOUR PACE Adjust notifications by Channel, follow Threads you care about, and stay informed with @Mention and keyword alerts. When you need to focus, mute a Channel or enable DND (Do Not Disturb). KEEP TALKING ACROSS DEVICES Check messages, share files and pick up conversations on your phone, tablet or computer. Even when family members live far apart, you can share the little things that happen today and be part of each other's everyday lives. Start with a Team and a Channel. Organize your conversations and treasure the everyday moments you share.
