Have you ever wanted to launch your own instant messenger, like WhatsApp or Kik?
Accumulating thousands of users in your app?
This project gives you the possibility of doing this. It is a complete instant messenger application built for iOS (iPhone, written in Objective-C), very similar to Whatsapp and Kik or even Facebook’s well-known iOS messenger app. Users are able to send instant messenges to other users and add their friends as their contacts to the app. Besides sending simple text messages, you can also send photos and videos, or even stickers.
This project also features an online indicator system, showing you who of your friends is currently online, and who currently isn’t. And when sending a message, you will automatically see when the other user reads it, because the messenger has a built-in read receipt system.
You also have the possibility to create large groups with all of your friends, with no caps on the number of participants
Demo (due to multiple requests)
If you want to see a demo of the project, you can download a redesigned version of the app here. Note that the version on the app has another design as well as location and audio messages, which are not supported out-of-the-box by this project here.
Back4app an Firebase backend
This app has been built with back4app and Firebase as backends. Both services have great free plans, so you can launch this app without having to pay for servers. Firebase has the enormous advantage that it really is lightning fast, so you can send messages that are instantly delivered.
