A new messaging app that was designed to show bring honesty and real-time expediancy to texting debuted this week and it's already making people nervous. With the Beam messenger app, your friends will be able to see everything you type in a text as you type it, such as corrections and what you choose not to send, according to The Daily Mail.
Users won't have to wait for the texter to send a message. They can comment or inject themselves iinto conversations in real-time and ultimately be able to talk to their friends without actually sending their texts. And the texts aren't stored on a network, so the conversations will remain secure.
Toronto-based Beam makes sure the texts are readable with help from an error-checking mechanism, which will allow users to send texts without spelling or grammar mistakes, Daily Mail reported. The encryption part of the error checking is currently in development to prevent information from being leaked in case a third party intercepts the texts.
Alec Gordon, CEO of Beam, said the messages sent by the user aren't monitored, and the company said users won't experience any delays between typing and seeing the words appear on the screen, giving them the chance to "beam in" and interrupt or comment within conversations.
"While you are texting inside a bubble, without breaking, you are allowed to backtrack and jump forward at will," Beam said. "Also you may delete the whole text altogether, gone from both devices in true real time fashion."
Gordon said Beam is almost 65 percent done with an iOS version for the app, and that app fans should expect to see a PC version as well, The Huffington Post reported.
Those who own an Android device can download the Beam Messenger app now for free.
