The messenger application Hike recently have released a new feature to its platform a voice-calling. The news comes after Hike recently acquired US-based voice-calling company Zip Phone for an undisclosed amount. Zip Phone, a one-man start up founded by Anuj Jain in the United States, is a voice-calling app that works globally.
Hike's messenger application will allow users to make free calls via internet. This may not be a new idea, but it definitely helps Hike to give a big battle to its competitors. The voice-calling feature will have a unique capability of supporting 2G connections, Hike will optimize the new feature to work with slow-speed internet networks, which will keep the data usage on the down low.
The app has over 35 million users so far and it boasts that 90 percent of its users are aged less than 25 years in India. The app has its own appeal to the young crowd with features like Hike Offline, Hidden Mode, Regional Stickers and lot more.
However this feature is only added to Android users , its a clean thing that both the users should have the application installed and call the other user one should go to the persons profile and click on the call icon
