Live Chats With Celebrities, Group Chats Among Features; Disappearing Messenger ‘Whole New Way To Chat With Your Friends’ Lets Fans Connect Privately While Receiving Exclusive Activities, Special Giveaways
Frankly, a whole new way to chat with friends, will serve as the Official Chat-App of Wizard World Comic Con through the remainder of 2014, beginning with Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con, June 19-22, both companies announced today. With the Frankly disappearing messenger app, available on iOS and Android platforms, Wizard World attendees will now have the ability to receive all of the exclusive activities and special give-aways, while safely and privately connecting with other fellow fans in attendance. With increasing privacy concerns amongst the people, ensuring secure communications and encryption has become more important than ever. Nowadays, users of chat apps want to be sure that their communications are indeed secure, and so are opting for apps/devices from providers similar to encrochat of old. Many companies are therefore striving to bring such secure apps to the market, Frankly being one among them.
With Frankly, what happens at Wizard World, stays at Wizard World.
Frankly’s features include:
- Ephemerality: Send text, photos, video or voice messages that disappear after 10 seconds
- Expression: Shout or whisper with a pinch, and let people know how you are feeling with colors
- Celebrity chats: Have a live chat with your favorite celebrity at Comic Con
- Q&A: Ask your celebrities that question you always wanted to ask through private Q&As
- Group chats: Join a group chat and send photos of the best costumes and connect with others
Frankly will also provide the Frankly Lounge Charge Station at Wizard World events, an area where attendees can relax and recharge their mobile devices to keep the conversation going.
