The updated app is already live and in use, and is quickly proving popular, with thousands of calls going out across the world every day.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Voice and Video calling requested by users<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>\u2018<em>Users have been asking us to support VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) calls pretty much since day one<\/em>,\u2019\u00a0 says Nolan Wolff, Head of ayoba. \u2018<em>And we are extremely pleased to be able to answer their call with this new release. All that\u2019s required is for both parties to upgrade to the latest version of the Android app. This is available immediately from the Google Play Store and our website at ayoba.me.<\/em>\u2019<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Web access with ayoba lite<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Ayoba has also launched \u2018ayoba lite\u2019, allowing users to message contacts from within a standard web browser, either from their desktop or a compatible smartphone. Ayoba lite is designed as a \u2018space saver\u2019 for users who are short on memory space on their device and prefer not to download the app.\u00a0 \u2018<em>Ayoba lite has been built as a progressive web app (PWA)<\/em>,\u2019 explains Wolff.\u00a0 \u2018<em>This allows us to provide much the same core functionality as our full-featured Android app but contained within a standard web browser. This makes ayoba accessible to a very broad audience and we expect to reach an entirely untapped market segment. The initial Beta version of the PWA is independent of the Android app but it will evolve to allow a user to easily switch between platforms.\u2019\u00a0 <\/em>Ayoba lite can be accessed\u00a0 on <strong>web.ayoba.me<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A very happy 2nd birthday<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>\u2018<em>5.5 million users is an immense milestone for a two year old application<\/em>,\u2019 says Olivier Prentout, Head of Consumer Marketing at ayoba.\u00a0 \u2018<em>It\u2019s crazy to think that two years have gone by since we launched in Cameroon as our first territory and initial partnership with MTN.\u00a0 The app has changed so much, adding channels, music, games, micro-apps, MTN MoMo in some territories and more.\u00a0 Localisation has been a key focus for us and we are very proud that users can access the app in 22 languages.\u2019\u00a0 <\/em>Prentout continues, <em>\u00a0\u2018We have over 130 content channels in 7 languages including <\/em><em>Arabic, Dari, Pashto, IsiZulu, English, Kinyarwanda and French to name a few.\u00a0 There is something for everyone.\u00a0 <\/em><em>Help is available to all users with our in app How To channel or via our virtual assistant Aya<\/em>\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The two years have indeed been very busy, and also very rewarding, culminating in the achievement of the Africa Digital Award for Best Mobile Application in November 2020, in a voting process involving both industry judges and the public.<\/p>\n<p>The company recently reassured its users that it\u2019s not possible for messages in the app to be read by anyone, or shared to any third parties. The app features peer-to-peer private messaging which are end-to-end encrypted.\u00a0 A user\u2019s contacts and location are only available to other users if explicitly shared by the account owner. Users can feel confident that their private data will remain private, and is treated with the utmost care and respect. More information can be found in ayoba\u2019s comprehensive Privacy Policy at ayoba.me\/privacy-policy.<\/p>\n<p>In partnership with MTN, MTN customers are automatically allocated free data to use ayoba features.
