Tengi is a brand new messaging app that follows in the footsteps of insanely popular, world-dominating messenger apps like WhatsApp. In fact, you could be forgiven for mistaking Tengi for WhatsApp at first; if it wasn’t for an ingenious little twist that sets U.K.-based Tengi apart from the crowd. Because Tengi wants to give back to its loyal users.
They think apps who keep all their advertising revenue are a poor show. In response, they’ve committed themselves to sharing 50% of their ad revenue with their user base in the form of weekly prize draws. These can be as little as £5 or as large as a whopping £10,000; either way, to quote Dire Straits, it’s money for nothing. And they really mean nothing. As long as you don't mind putting up with a few ads, you're home free. Tengi is a free app that is free to download, free to keep and free to message on. It has no hidden costs and will categorically NOT sell your info on to insidious third parties.
It operates like traditional messaging apps, combing a sleek and intuitive interface with the ability to send and receive texts, photos and videos, form groups and see when your messages have been delivered and read by the receiving party. Already a big hit in the U.K., this week the app expands overseas into America and India, with plans to conquer the rest of the world in due course. And let’s face it, with this ingenious twist? There's very little stopping them.
