United - Private messaging for two
2020 - 2022
A private messaging application focused on deep connections between two people. Features include synchronized onboarding requiring physical proximity for account creation, shared memories gallery, mood-based UI personalization, virtual currency for bets and gifts, and end-to-end encryption.
When you know exactly who's on the other side, you can design deeper shared experiences with meaningful interaction. The core idea was to move away from chat apps that group all the people you could talk to.
One app, one person on the other side. You can't go wrong, and you know that a push notification from United will always be important.
