Beam

The messaging application WhatsApp has managed to raise blisters among its users by introducing the double blue check An indicator confirming that a message has been read by the caller. A feature useful to know if communication works, but that can be seen as an affront to privacy But what would happen if, as in face-to-face conversations, what we wrote was transmitted in real time? It is the proposal of the application Beam, which avoids indicators and other details but transports the natural way of communicating to the applications Messaging .

And it is that Beam, despite being a messaging application, aspires to be a representation of a oral conversation through the mobile screen The key to this is showing in real time what is being written That is, not to send the message once it has been thought and written, but publish what is written letter by letter A most risky approach but one that pursues the naturalness in communication, but being able to create true misunderstandings or, on the other hand, knowing the first impression of the interlocutor.

Its operation is simple Simply download the application, create a user account , and start chatting with other friends by adding them through their usernames.The difference comes when it comes to showing the conversation. And, despite being made up of bocadillos, they show what is being written in real time. Of course, the user can edit the message before definitively sending it, although the changes are seen in the conversation while they are being written. And even more.

Reproducing the real conversations, the interlocutor can interrupt the original message with a comment, seeing everything reflected in the chat with comic bubbles showing that the original message continued despite the interruption. In addition, this application has personalization options to decorate the profile of each user, as well as know their statistics of messages and conversations.

But how does benefit from this messaging system? In addition to offering a more natural system of communication typical of face-to-face conversations, the fact that there are no messages that are sent and received is a contribution of security and privacy And there are no messages that can be stolen or intercepted What is written is shown directly on the interlocutor's screen, as if it were a live transmission . Thus, does not store any of the user's messages for your security and peace of mind.

In short, a very curious messaging application concept that seeks the naturalness of communications even though they are developed through technology and mobile platforms. A tool that, from what we have seen, not all users would tolerate, but that can offer a unique feature that others crave. The Beam application is developed only for Android, although they are also creating a version foriPhone Downloadable Free via Google Play Of course, recently its creators have stopped offering accounts to users to try to improve the system and accommodate more people without harming the experience.Soon the doors of Beam will open again.
