Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL), has launched an instant messaging application called Jio Chat which runs on iOS and Android mobile phones. The chat application works across operators, but will come preloaded with RJIL connections once the company?s 4G service is launched.
The application allows short messages to be sent from one user to another over an internet connection. It also allows delivery of these messages in SMS format to unregistered users. Jio Chat has the facility to use pictures, stickers and hand drawings on the messenger. It further has a voice and video call facility that can engage two or multiple users in a common chat room.
Jio Chat will compete with instant messaging applications like WhatsApp, Line, Wechat and Hike.
