Messaging
WallyMates' base layer is ordinary messaging — but with tools that save time: voice-to-text, auto-translate, smart chat organization, reputation-based trust.
Attachment types
You can send almost anything into a chat: photos and videos (with a built-in editor), voice messages and short round video notes, music with an in-chat mini player, files of any format, GIFs from GIPHY, stickers, location, and polls.
Voice & video notes
- Speech-to-text — Turn a voice message into text with one tap — handy when listening isn't convenient (in public) or you need to skim a long message quickly.
- Playback speed — Sped-up playback (1.5x, 2x) for long voice messages.
- Short video notes — A round video message, recorded right in the chat, as an alternative to text or a plain voice message.
Auto-translate
Any message can be translated into your own language right in the chat, no third-party apps needed — useful in international groups and channels.
Message tools
- Reactions — Emoji reactions on messages — a quick response without sending a new message.
- Replies and forwarding — Quote a specific message in a reply, forward to other chats while keeping the original author attached.
- Editing and deleting — Edit an already-sent message and delete it — including "for everyone," on both sides of the chat.
- Pinned messages — A handful of important messages pinned to the top of the chat (the limit depends on your plan — see the PRO page).
- Reminders — Right-click any message → "Remind me" and pick a time — the app sends a notification later, even if it's closed at that moment.
Organizing your conversations
- Shared and local folders — Group chats into folders (Work, Family, Channels, etc.) — "shared" folders can be published as a link so others can add your exact chat set, while "local" ones stay on-device only. Up to 50 folders on a PRO account.
- Saved messages — A personal "notes to self" chat for saving anything important from any conversation.
- Search — Search across your entire message history — by text, date, or sender.
- Draft sync — An unfinished message draft syncs across devices — start typing on your phone, finish on your computer.
Scheduled messages
A message can be scheduled for a specific time — it sends automatically, even if the app is closed at that moment.
Reputation and karma
Every user has public karma (likes/dislikes from people you've actually talked to) and a trust badge on their profile — a quick read on who you're dealing with before you even start talking. High karma pays out WorldStars every week; very low karma restricts what you can do in channels.
The full breakdown of karma, trust badges, and anti-abuse protection is on the Karma page.
Messaging privacy
The "online" / "last seen" status indicator can be turned off in settings. A dedicated "Blocked" section in settings lists everyone you've blocked and lets you unblock anyone without hunting down the chat itself. For how the conversation itself is technically protected, see the Security & Encryption page.
