messaging app

Digital conversation tool

A messaging app is software for sending text messages, images, and other media between users over the internet.

Unlike traditional SMS, messaging apps like WhatsApp, Signal, or iMessage work across devices and often include features like group chats, voice notes, and read receipts: I'll send you the address on the messaging app.
