The Brazilian messaging application market is currently dominated by global companies in this niche such as WhatsApp, Messenger and Telegram. Only WhatsApp has more than 120 millions of accounts registered in Brazil, according to data from 2021.
Nonetheless, a Brazilian application recently opened competition for the great leader, serving as an option for users. The SayMe Messenger app was launched in June this year and already has 15 thousand users. Available for Android and iOS, the tool was created to prioritize the security and privacy of its users.
Just like traditional messaging apps, SayMe has instant shipping, video calls, audio calls and end-to-end encryption – similar to WhatsApp. Other than that, allows the creation of groups and hubs (channels like Telegram, that allow content sharing between members).
Brazilian app offers new features
Nonetheless, the Brazilian tool has innovative features, such as scheduling message sending and scheduling response times between users. Facilitating communication and organization of chats, Groups and channels can also be categorized by sections.
These are facilities that optimize work conversations and, also, increase freedom of use. Regarding privacy, SayMe allows you to configure the platform to block unwanted messages and files. In the same way, recordings and screen prints can be prevented.
Another bet of the application is the expansion of accessibility. SayMe has transcription of audio messages to facilitate communication with deaf people. Yet, The next updates should bring “attention mode”, with layout fully adapted for dyslexic people.
Like this, each paragraph would begin with bold letters, in addition to having underlined sentences and a yellow background for better understanding. This was a recent suggestion, sent by the application users themselves.
SayMe seeks to break monopoly
Businessman Bruno Velasco is behind the creation of the application. The development of the tool went through a year of planning and was executed after an Angel investment of R$ 1 million. Now, The objective is to conquer space in the technological market.
“We don’t want to displace anyone. We just want to be another option for people to choose from.. We want to take away some of WhatsApp's monopoly in the same way as 99 did with Uber”, says Velasco..
Another difference that SayMe guarantees is the ease of communication with its users through effective support and quick feedback..
