Hike is an interesting messaging app originating from India. It was founded by Kavin Bharti Mittal and released in 2012. Just within two years, Hike gained 15 M active users and another six months later their number grew to 35 M users.Hike runs on iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows, Nokia, and Symbian.To sign up, you need to enter your phone number and then a four-digit code. After that, you indicate your name and upload a profile photo ( optional) .
Those who are lazy to do that can sign in via Facebook. The list of your contacts will be transferred automatically. However, if any of your friends does not have Hike, the messenger will automatically suggest that you send them invitations to join in. A user will see all his contacts and will be able to tick those who the invitations will be sent to.
A user of the app can also mark his favourite contacts as Favourites.As in a lot of other messaging apps, people in Hike communicate by sending each other text messages. You can add up to 500 people to a group chat.There is a funny option in chats called “Nudge”. This is somewhat similar to “poking” in Facebook. You can send it by double tapping the chat box, making your recipient receive a notification about being ‘”nudged”.Users can see the status of the messages they had sent: sent, delivered, read. A trifle but a useful one.Hike has made a sensation when it implemented an updated version with the voice-calling feature in January 2015, since it happened before WhatsApp did the same. The voice-calling feature is available in over 200 countries.
Thank you I luke it very much
