imo introduces Global Web Call to ensure safer communication across platforms
Popular global instant messaging platform imo is taking privacy
and security to new heights through its recently introduced feature `Global Web Call’.
To avail this feature, imo users will have to go to the contacts tab and click Global Web Call.
A unique shareable link will then be generated, which can be used to call the user by anyone,
regardless of them being an imo user or not.
This feature does not display any personal
information or phone numbers; hence, it can come in handy for people who require ultimate
privacy. It can help SME owners create dedicated call links for their businesses to separate
personal and business conversations while protecting customers' privacy when contacting
them.
This also allows people visiting other countries, Hajj and Umrah pilgrims, for example, to
stay connected with new acquaintances and service providers without disclosing personal social
media information. Not only does this help make new connections, but it also enables people in
a new land to remain connected in case of necessities and emergencies for free and with
complete privacy.
Each link can support up to nine simultaneous callers, making it convenient for friends to enjoy
cross-platform conversations. Be it while playing multiplayer games or simply catching up, real-
time conversations are now much simpler. With further upgrades, the feature will support
more than 10 callers together while also providing video calling experience.
Mehran Kabir, Business Director of imo Messenger, said, “With so many platforms now
available, streamlining conversations can become quite difficult. Moreover, concerns regarding
privacy remain to be a challenge across various contexts. This is where our feature Global Web
Call comes in, allowing our users to simply use one link for all conversations while protecting
their own privacy.”
