Introducing Yahoo Livetext – A New Way to Connect
A
live video texting app, without audio, for iPhone and
Android
on_boarding1Auckland, New Zealand, 13 August,
2015 – Yahoo New Zealand has today launched Yahoo
Livetext, a new one-to-one live video texting app for iPhone
and Android. Yahoo Livetext blends the convenience and ease
of texting, with the immediacy and vividness of live
video.
Yahoo Livetext is a new way to stay in touch – it’s non-intrusive, quick and real-time, just like real-life conversations. Interactions, from a goofy smile to an eye roll and a sigh, mean a ‘Lol’ isn’t needed to ensure the meaning of a text message – real-time reactions are placed at the centre of the conversation. Yahoo Livetext removes audio so you can share moments and memories anywhere, anytime – without disrupting others.
Caroline Casey, Director of Product and Audience for Yahoo7 says, "Globally, the Yahoo technology teams are dedicated to creating new products that make our audience's daily habits inspiring and entertaining. We're really excited to introduce Livetext to New Zealand smartphone itues1users.
“Yahoo Livetext puts your words and your friend’s real-time reactions at the centre of your conversation. Combining the emotion and immediacy of live video with the simplicity of text messaging.”
Yahoo Livetext will be available in New Zealand from both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store from today.
