Toki is a new and fun way for you to have short voice conversations with your friends.
Inspired by short, audio calls of “walkie-talkies,” Toki allows you to have such conversations on your mobile without the hassle or need to make a phone call (regular, dialed calls).
The only requirement of Toki is that both people have the Eyecon App installed on their cellphone (Android-only).
There are two ways to start a Toki conversation with your friend.
- In the Eyecon Home page, select your friend and select the Toki icon to start the Toki conversation!
- Press the Toki icon in the upper left side of the Eyecon app – which will open a special menu that displays only your contacts that have Eyecon. From there, just press on that contact to start a Toki. (COMING SOON)
Upon press, Toki will immediately try to connect with your friend. If, for whatever reason, your friend is not available, you will receive a message that the connection did not succeed, and your friend will receive a message that you tried to connect. If your friend “accepts” the Toki, you will immediately start a Toki conversation. Press and hold the Toki button in order to talk and let go when you are finished – just like a walkie-talkie! You will quickly learn how to use Toki and converse.
- In the Eyecon Home page, select your friend and select the Toki icon to start the Toki conversation!
- Press the Toki icon in the upper left side of the Eyecon app – which will open a special menu that displays only your contacts that have Eyecon. From there, just press on that contact to start a Toki. (COMING SOON)
You can also Toki with groups!!! Simply press the button and add up to 9 people to the conversation. (COMING SOON)
Remember, if your friend doesn’t have Eyecon and you cannot Toki, make sure to invite them!
