Samsung updates ChatON with the ability to delete sent messages

Curious by nature and a big techie at heart, Kamran is a big Android enthusiast, absolutely loves his Nexus 4 and believes that there is a special place in hell for people who prefer skinned Android over stock. When not vegetating, you will probably find him either struggling with his university essays or playing football or Call of Duty.

Samsung seems to be content with its strategy of throwing a bunch of new features and then seeing what sticks. Perhaps in a bid to increase usage of its own messaging platform ChatON, Samsung has pushed an update to it and has introduced a bunch of new features, the most intriguing of which is the ability to delete a message once it has been sent. But will that be enough for people to ditch their preferred messaging app such as the now ubiquitous WhatsApp or the hot new favourite Kik Messenger?

Perhaps taking a cue from Snapchat, Samsung has now given users the ability to recall sent messages which might be a potential source of embarrassment. Users can recall a message even after it has been read by the recipient, and can do that by simply tapping and holding the message bubble and then selecting ‘recall’. However, this feature only works in one-on-one chat rooms so that is something to keep in mind.

Another feature that Samsung has introduced is the ability to broadcast your real time location for a specific amount of time, which might come in handy the next time your friend refuses to believe you when you say that you are at some cool place. This feature comes courtesy of the integration with the Glympse application, however Samsung hasn’t mentioned whether you would need to have the Glympse app on your phone in order for the location sharing feature to work.

Samsung has also increased the file size cap to 1 GB so that larger multimedia files such as videos can be shared easily, and has also increased the capacity of group chats from 200 to 1001 persons, which could come in handy when interacting with a larger group of people.

So what do you think about these latest features in ChatON v3.5? Are the new features enough motivation for you to jump ship from your current messaging app?

Samsung updates ChatON with enhanced messaging features

Samsung-ChatON-icon

Given that Samsung shifts a ton of handsets each year, there’s a good chance that a few of you out there have used, or are currently using, Samsung’s cross-platform ChatON instant messaging software. Samsung has just updated ChatON to version 3.5, which packs in some interesting new features.

First up, version 3.5’s major change comes in the form of a bolstering to the system’s file sharing capabilities. Users can now share larger media files than before, up to 1GB in size. However, there is a limit on this, users can only upload five large videos each day, which is probably as much as most people’s bandwidth would allow for anyway.

The second big change is the ability to recall sent messages. If you’re a typo prone individual, or just can’t keep messages in the right conversation, then message recall will allow you to remove your regrettable messages, even if they’ve already been read by other users. The sender simply taps and holds the message bubble and selects ‘Recall’ to remove the offending text.

ChatON 3.5 also comes with a few other tweaks and features, including real-time location sharing, increased capacity for group chats, the upper limit has jumped from 200 to 1,001 persons, and improved message integration, which allows users to manage their ChatON and SMS/MMS messages from the same sender in a single chat.

Finally, Version 3.5 adds in a number of new language translations, including Arabic, Turkish, Farsi and Hindi, bringing the total number of languages supported by ChatON to 14. If you’d like to test out these features for yourself, you can grab the app from the Play Store for free.
