Reaching out to 80 million users in 192 countries, BiP sustains innovative investments and introduces group chat import enabling users to move their existing group and individual chats, including videos and photographs, automatically at once.

Commenting on the new feature Ataç Tansuğ Executive Vice President - Digital Services and Solutions of Turkcell said: “Messaging apps are no longer solely a medium for exchanging texts, but more of a living ecosystem where we communicate, work and do business. Embedded in almost every step of our lives, they are party to our most critical personal data. Therein lies a great responsibility for us. Data ethics are fundamental for BiP. This recent feature commits to a secure and seamless import experience symbolizing our dedication to a fulfilled CX. The rapid rise in the number of BiP users around the world is the clearest proof-point of this approach.”

BiP heavily invests in innovation that can relate to the actual necessity and delicacies of the consumer, and the platform has features that surpass the competition.

BiP ALLOWS HD VIDEO GROUP CALL OF UP TO 10 PARTICIPANTS

Offering a HD-quality group video call with up to 10 users and instant messaging and voice call features, BiP now allows up to 1,000 users in group chats. It also enables shortcuts for frequently communicated users or groups on the home screen.

BiP’s longstanding secret messaging feature is another visionary solution, and was designed six years ago. Secret messaging has also gained the attention of millions of users worldwide as it enables them to make chats disappear from the chat screen within the period they determine.

BiP instantly translates written words and phrases in 106 languages. With this built-in real-time translation feature, BiP was recognized as the ‘Most Innovative Mobile App’ at the Global Mobile Awards.
