O bipo deixa as conversas entre amigos mais espontâneas. Aperte a foto de uma pessoa e fale. Quando vocês estiverem juntos na mesma conversa, sua voz chega ao vivo. Quando ela não estiver disponível, o que você disser vira um recado. Com o bipo você pode: - falar ao vivo sem iniciar uma ligação; - enviar recados de voz para quem não estiver por perto; - reunir seus amigos em conversas de grupo; - ligar a câmera quando quiser se ver; - usar o Tap Tap para reagir com emojis; - continuar ouvindo uma conversa ativa enquanto usa outros aplicativos; - escolher quando está disponível, ocupado ou no modo silencioso. Sua voz não vira um histórico de conversas. O bipo foi feito para momentos espontâneos, sem mensagens acumuladas e sem a formalidade de uma ligação. O bipo é gratuito.
