In the market of messengers for Android, Viber, Whatsapp and Telegram giants are almost unproduced. However, for those who want to find an alternative, there are also options - for example, the IMO application.
Invitations of friends
A feature of the IMO is the method of replenishing the address book by inviting one or another subscriber.
At first glance, nothing special, however, for the invitation to your friend, you do not need to have an installed application: the invitation comes to SMET.
Note that the SMS is charged according to the rates of your operator.
Chat with friends
The main function of the messenger in IMO is not worse than the competitors.
In addition to text messages, it is possible to perform audio and video calls.
The features of the cellular operator, as in Viber and Skype, are absent in IMO. Of course, the option of creating group chats is available.
Audio messages
In addition to calls, it is possible to send audio messages (the button with the image of the microphone to the right of the text input window).
It is implemented in the same way as in Telegram - to press the button to write, swipe left, holding the button - cancel.
An interesting chip is the fast sending of a sound message, without access directly to the chat window. To do this, simply press the button with the microphone icon, also located to the right of the subscriber.
Pictures exchange features
Unlike the "big triple" of the main applications for communication, in IMO there is an opportunity to send exclusively photos.
However, the functionality of such a solution is wider than the competitors. For example, you can apply a sticker or emoticon on the photo, as well as make an inscription.
Stickers and graffiti
Since we started talking about stickers, then their choice in the appendix is very and very rich. There are 24 built-in packs of stickers and emoticons - ranging from the usual since ICQ times, and ending, for example, funny monster.
If you have artistic talent, you can use the built-in graphic editor and draw something to your own.
The set of options for this editor is minimal, but more and not required.
Contact management
The application provides the minimum necessary feature set for a comfortable use of the address book. For example, the necessary contact can be found through the search.
With a debt to the contact name, the profile viewing options are available, creating a shortcut on the desktop, adding to favorites or transition to chat.
From the contact window, you can make a quick video call, clicking on the button with the camcorder icon.
Notifications and privacy
It's nice that the developers did not forget about the ability to set up alerts. Options are available for both a separate chat and group posts.
They did not forget about the possibilities of conservation of privacy.
You can delete the story, clear these chat data, as well as configure the display of the presence (the "Privacy" menu tab, which is not Russified).
If for some reason you want to change the display name or delete the account at all, you can do this in the "IMO account settings").
