Advantages of chat app development

If you still aren't sure whether your business needs a chat app, here are the main benefits that instant messaging brings to you and your customers:

Real-time communication

Faster support

Improved productivity

Little or no barrier to communication

File storage and sharing

The highest conversion rate

The most important features in a chat app

The messaging app features you'll need are based on your goals. So, feature development is critical because other factors—such as the time, cost and technology stack—will depend on it. Our team is ready to help incorporate the key features you really need and identify those that can wait for later.

Messages

This function is the core of any chat app. Users should be able to send text messages to each other, edit them if necessary, and search chats and messages for the info they need. Quick, smooth messaging is the key.

Audio and video calls

The popularity of calling integration in chat apps continues to grow. It helps users save money on mobile calls and talk to each other in real time. Group calling is useful too, especially for working teams and circles of friends.

Group chats

As with group calls, group chats let users keep up with their friends and loved ones. Family members can communicate over distances and time zones, friends can share funny videos and memes, and colleagues can discuss important topics.

Stickers

Funny, emotional pictures make even the simplest message more fun. They help people convey their emotions more readily, so communication becomes more colorful. Also, your personalized stickers can become a desirable feature among users.

Cloud storage and backup

No one likes their device being clogged with cache, but everyone wants to have constant access to messages. Cloud storage makes all of your texts and files available from any device without robbing you of valuable space.

Chatbots

Chatbots make chat applications more user-friendly and intuitive. They’re able to cover repetitive tasks for the team and help businesses conduct marketing campaigns. It’s also possible to leverage chatbots with automatic or smart answers.

Security and privacy

Today, guaranteed data security is a strong motivation for users to choose messaging apps. Sophisticated encryption shields confidential information from attackers and makes your app the one to trust.

Voice and video attachments

Your messenger should also be able to send any type of various attachments, including audio, video, documents, maps, and other types of custom attachments that are relevant to a particular chat app case.

Link preview

Users will be thrilled with your implementation of this feature. When one person sends a link to another, a messaging app shows a small preview with a page title and some of the content, such as text and/or an image.

Statuses and typing indicators

The feature of statuses to users is another contribution to user-friendliness in a chat app. Users should see the message statuses like “sent,” “seen,” “read,” “edited,” and understand if the person on the other end is typing or not.

What people say

I liked working with them because they were good. With their work, we increased our mobile app’s user usage. We also got reviewed as one of the top 10 employee engagement services in Europe. Their project management was really good. They worked in sprints, and I always communicated directly with their developer. More importantly, they were attentive to our project's details.

Yellow's development process helped them beat deadlines and respond quickly to any technical concerns that arose. Their ability to bring creative ideas of their own to the table made them a valuable partner. Yellow typically understood exactly what the issue was and came back with a fix right away.

If you are looking for a partner to collaborate with for the development process, I would consider hiring Yellow. Yellow has an intelligent team of developers that collaborated on the project to build a quality app. They follow instructions seamlessly, respond effectively to feedback, and invest themselves in the overall success of the product. I would happily use them again if we needed developing services.

Yellow is by far the best at helping us make decisions to push our company forward. I’d heard about them through a personal connection in the Bay Area. Yellow stands out because they’re invested in the results and clients. Every single person on Yellow’s team genuinely cares about what they’re doing. I really appreciate that about them and it’s the main reason we will continue our relationship for as long as possible.

Because of marketing costs, the B2C application fell out of use in favor of a different B2B tool. Yellow was very focused on customer satisfaction, and they participated regularly in standups. They helped solidify features, and they thoroughly explained their process.

We’re impressed with their loyalty and honesty. They were able to stay true to their original quote even though we needed to change and add a few requirements. They’ve done a lot of good work for us on all fronts, but it's amazing to see that they’re able to stick to what they initially promised.

Their performance was good. I didn’t expect that kind of performance from someone working offsite. I was happy that they completed the project ahead of schedule, so we had some time left to work on additional projects and improvements.

They were very accessible regardless of the time difference as well as communication was good. We had a couple bumps here and there regarding designs that were not originally discussed in our UX/UI designs but they were quick to find solutions as well as any needed changes we requested.
