Connected Everyday conversations
A translated chat for messages back and forth
Choose AI Call when both people want to keep a written conversation inside the same app. Each person writes in their own language and reads the translated messages. Both participants need AI Call on their phones.
Keep a customer conversation in text
Ask a short question and let the other person reply when available. Confirm prices, quantities, and dates in the conversation.
Talk when text is not enough
Start a separate translated voice or video call when you want to speak directly. Call Links allow browser joining for calls; text chat still requires the app on both sides.
These are illustrative uses, not reported customer outcomes. AI Call does not replace your keyboard or translate messages inside WhatsApp, iMessage, or another app.
