Today's generation is raised alongside technology, and the pace of life has accelerated. The demand for small devices and fast communication has grown, leading to many options for users. While many choices are available, most apps share a common approach to user-friendliness.

In my role, I needed to discover methods for incorporating new features without significantly raising the overall complexity and simultaneously guaranteeing customer delight.

Fast conversation is the key

The app used a mailbox/compose type of flow designed for much slower communication, most commonly used in email apps. In this concept, we wanted to explore patterns that are commonly found in chat apps, and that facilitate faster communication.

To showcase this faster, simple yet richer app we designed the following areas.

Conversations list

Starting screen with a list of all message threads featuring a small preview of the last message.

Composer with a conversation thread

A fast and efficient method for composing, sending, and reviewing entire message threads is through the intelligent utilization of our technologies, including voice-to-text.

A clear list of all friends using animates and all other contacts (phone, social, etc.) that you can easily invite from their contact detail pages.
