If you are someone who types a furious text message, only to reconsider and edit it before hitting ‘send,’ you may be in trouble.
The Beam Messenger app shows everything another person is typing in a text message as they type it.
This means that if your friend has the app, they could see the keys you press, including corrections and everything you choose not to send.
The Californian firm behind the free Android app claim it is ‘a(chǎn) first of its kind true real-time communications app’ that more closely mimics the way people to chat in person.
For example, it lets people interject or comment in real-time, without having to wait for the other person to hit send.
And, if the recipient already knows a story that the sender is typing, they can tell them so they don’t waste time finishing the text.
Elsewhere, the app also means people can have conversations without ever hitting send, making them secure because no data is ever transferred and stored on a network.
But, it is not known how the app tracks what is being typed and how much it stores on its own servers and MailOnline has contacted the firm for more information.
The Toronto-based developers added there is no delay between typing and seeing the words appear in the message window.
It calls this ‘beaming in’, and said it gives users the ability to ‘interrupt, interject, comment, and the like’.
‘While you are texting inside a bubble, without breaking, you are allowed to backtrack and jump forward at will.
‘Also you may delete the whole text altogether, gone from both devices in true real time fashion.’
An iOS app is 'coming soon.' |
如果你是那種短信言辭憤怒的人,但想到會引起對方的不悅,于是在按下“發(fā)送”鍵前又重新修改,那你可能要麻煩上身了。
據(jù)英國《每日郵報(bào)》報(bào)道,一款名為Beam的通訊類應(yīng)用程序能讓你看到對方正在輸入的所有內(nèi)容。
也就是說如果你朋友的手機(jī)中安裝了這款應(yīng)用,他們就可以知道你按了哪些鍵,包括修改的痕跡以及所有你不打算發(fā)送的內(nèi)容。
開發(fā)出這款安卓版免費(fèi)應(yīng)用軟件的是美國加利福尼亞的一家公司。該公司稱beam是“首個(gè)真正實(shí)現(xiàn)實(shí)時(shí)交流互動”的應(yīng)用程序,它更加貼近人們聊天的方式。
舉例來說,它可以讓人們即時(shí)插話或評論而無需等至對方按下發(fā)送鍵。
同時(shí),如果對方正在輸入消息而接受的一方已經(jīng)從中知曉接下來的內(nèi)容,這時(shí)就可以直接告知。這樣一來對方就不必再浪費(fèi)時(shí)間繼續(xù)輸入消息了。
另一方面,這款應(yīng)用意味著用戶們可以在不敲擊發(fā)送鍵的情況下展開對話。這保證了交流雙方的隱私安全,因?yàn)椴粫腥魏卧诰€數(shù)據(jù)的傳輸與紀(jì)錄。
不過,尚不清楚它是如何記錄下用戶的數(shù)據(jù)并將它們存儲到自己的服務(wù)器上。為了解更多細(xì)節(jié),MailOnline聯(lián)系到了這家公司。
多倫多研發(fā)中心的開發(fā)者們表示在信息窗口中打字和瀏覽內(nèi)容兩者之間沒有時(shí)間差。
他們稱此為“信息流入(beaming in)”,通過它,用戶們能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)打斷、插話、評論、點(diǎn)贊等一系列相關(guān)的交流方式。
開發(fā)者說:“當(dāng)你正在對話框里打字,你可以隨時(shí)倒退或前進(jìn)到某個(gè)地方?!?/p>
“你也可以刪掉所有輸入的內(nèi)容,由于這是實(shí)時(shí)交流,雙方的設(shè)備中的文字都會被刪除?!?適用于iOS系統(tǒng)的beam應(yīng)用程序?qū)⒂诮丈暇€。
