Messenger for chatting with your besties
You can not only bring your crew together in one chat but also set up a group call to talk things through out loud. Send pics, share funny videos, record video messages or voice notes when you can’t be bothered to type — all messenger-style. Change message style and size however you want: customize, go extra-large or make it tiny — express yourself.
Track your friends’ location
Find out where someone is in seconds. If your friends BUMP, you’ll get a notification. If they’re on the move, you can see the direction and their speed. Track friends in real time — and share your own location — and when you need to go off the grid, use freeze mode so no one knows where you are. Blink isn’t just a messenger, it’s a top friend locator!
Hang with your crew: free calls right in the app
No more digging through contacts or your messenger. See a friend nearby — call and BUMP when you meet. See they’re free — ring them right from the chat! Talk, share emotions through fun sound stickers and stay connected like never before. Call for hours — stable internet calls won’t eat into your mobile balance.
Video calls
Video calls are the easiest way to stay close, even when you’re far away. One tap and you’re already “there”. Call, chat and feel the vibe of real connection!
See what your friends are up to
With Blink you can track in real time not just where someone is, but what they’re doing right now! Watch and share stories and photos from cool spots and parties with the Check-ins feature. Get notifications about your friends’ activities and stories, comment and send reactions to their moments.
