LetsChat, a new messaging app from TikTok’s parent company ByteDance, has been downloaded over five million times since its launch in 2021. The app is designed for young African users and offers several features that are not available on WhatsApp or Telegram, such as free voice and video calls, zero pop-up ads, and in-app games.
However, some users have reported technical glitches and a lack of features that make it a worthy competitor to WhatsApp and Telegram. For example, some users have complained that the app’s voice and video calls are not always reliable and that the app’s in-app games are not as engaging as those on other platforms.
Despite these criticisms, LetsChat has the potential to be a successful messaging app in Africa. The app is free to download and use, and it offers some features that are not available on other popular messaging apps. If LetsChat can address the technical issues that have been reported, it could become a popular choice for young African users.
LetsChat has some pros attributed to it like free voice and video calls, zero pop-up ads, and in-app games. Its availability in multiple languages and ease of use. While for cons, it suffers technical glitches sometimes and lacks some interesting features
Overall, LetsChat is a promising new messaging app with a lot of potential. However, it is important to note that the app is still in its early stages of development, and it may take some time for it to address the technical issues that have been reported. If LetsChat can do this, it could become a popular choice for young African users.
