Amazon building mobile messaging app – Report

Amazon has asked customers what type of features they would like in a mobile messaging service, AFTVNews reported. The questions also included a name for a new messaging service: Anytime.

Based on screenshots Amazon clients provided, the report stated that Anytime by Amazon looks to be a full-feature social platform, and not just a messaging service.

A respondent told the publication that the survey implied Anytime was almost ready to be rolled out.

It promises the following features:

• Everyone is already on it
• Not linked to phone numbers, reach contacts using their names
• Works on desktop, iPhone, and Android
• Voice and video calls
• Group chats with @mentions, photo sharing, and video chat
• GIFs, stickers, and emoji
• Filters for photos and videos
• Competitive games
• Location sharing, listen to music together, split a bill
• Chat with businesses

Now ready: Amazon still looking at opening South African data centre
