Like most other cross-platform messaging apps, Nokia Chat beta will allow you to indulge in person-to-person messaging. The great part about this feature is that besides allowing you to chat with users on its own platform, Nokia chat beta will let you interact with friends on Yahoo Messenger too.
Once you have installed the App you can get push notifications about new messages, previews and a notification count even if you have shut the App off.
In addition the App lets you share information about any place of interest with your friends with the help of Nokia Here launched recently. Which goes to say that if your friend or acquaintance is using a Nokia Lumia, they can see a a touchable map preview that links to place details, directions and reviews.
You can use (tap and send) to send chat addresses and details and even the entire chat to your friends Lumia. The app also allows you to compose a message by speaking into the phone and then you can edit it just like you want it. Nokia Chat beta will also provide lock screen notifications as well as voice commands for Windows 8 running Lumia phones. You can long-press the Windows key and say “Chat with”, followed by a friend’s name to begin chatting with them.
