A few hours ago, the company Telefónica has launched a new application for communication A tool that is presented as an all-in-one to be able, from the same application, send messages, talk over the Internet, exchange photos and even have a cloud storage system All of this in a comfortable and simple. A service that has been launched at global level and that we describe below.
The application, which has been released under the name of TU Me, will be included in a broader communication system. And it is that this application is only one of the services that is expected to offer. Its name is not accidental, since TU is the operator of Tuenti, and is located within the business framework of Telefónica But for now it is an application with a large number of functions , collecting the strengths of other communication tools such as WhatsApp, Foursquare and Skype
TU Me features a simple design that makes its handling is somewhat easy Like most communication applications, it requires a registrationTo do this, all you have to do is confirm a telephone number to which you will receive a free text message to access the service. After that, it is already possible to use all its current functions. Specifically, TU Me is created to be able to send and receive messages through Internet from way unlimited and free, just as WhatsApp However, there is a point in favor of this new application: the security Here comes into play the fact that the application comes from the hand of a tele operator , because all communications are encrypted to prevent information theft by third parties.
As we said, TU Me also has a call service through Internet , just like other apps like Viber or Skype However, for now the video calls have been left out of the application, although they are expected to arrive in the future, as it is a logical step, as stated by the Director of Communications Production at Telefónica Digital via Twitter (@finnstr).Along with this, it is possible to send small voice recordings and audio files.
Also, continuing with the analogies, a timeline has been created in the style of what has already been seen in Path, a social network intimateAlso from this application it seems to take the design of its sharing buttons, which are distributed around the logo of TU Me to choose the action you want to perform. Among them also stands out the possibility of publishing the location of the user through a map
A new issue is that of cloud storage And it seems that YOU It saves me conversations securely on its servers.Something that allows you to resume chats and not lose anything that has been shared even if you change your phone or it is stolen or lost For now, it seems that this service will be free for one year, without specifying if you will have to pay for it to keep it active.
As confirmed to this outlet by the Director of Communications Production at Telefónica Digital, this application will continue to grow in terms of its functions. They already have a list of 50 possibilities to introduce little by little in this tool, of which the video call , the sending of videos and the Spanish translation seem to be priorities. In addition, it is not ruled out that the application can arrive pre-installed in the terminals of the company that launches this service, since they will use all the channels they have to reach to users.
In short, a most complete communication tool that seems to drink directly from the applications and Most famous social networks of the moment Mobile users iPhoneyou can now download and use it, regardless of the telephone company with which you have a contract, since the objective of TU Me is to be global. In addition, you can download completely free from iTunes, without any charge for the services offered . We will have to wait to find out if future functions are also free, something that has not been confirmed or denied. Mobile users Android will have to wait a while to use this application, which is already on the way. For now, no release has been confirmed for the other platforms
