New Delhi: After announcing the Send app for iPhone in July, Microsoft has now made it available for Android users. It is, however, a preview version for now and is currently in beta.
"First, we are releasing a preview version of Send for Android phones with 4.2 and up. The app is available now and will stay in preview status while we bring it up to speed with its iPhone counterpart," says Microsoft in a blog post.
The Send app makes email more like SMS by removing the subject line and taking users directly to the contact list. It gives you the benefits of quick SMS-like communications with your existing email contacts, without requiring a phone number or separate app.
It doesn't ask for a subject line, signature or salutation, and it will surface your frequent and recent contacts right when you open the app. If your contact is a Send user too, you can also see when they're typing a response.
"It has been a busy month for Send — the app that feels like texting and works like email. Since the launch, we have been listening closely to your feedback and opinions, and have responded by making the app even more useful for you. We added the ability to delete conversations, add people to conversations, send direct messages to people from a group conversation, share your location, make a phone call and more. We have also added support for GIF sharing! Sometimes a simple GIF can express more than words ever could." says the company.
In addition to the US and Canada, the company has also brought Send for iPhone and Android to app stores in the UK, Brazil and Denmark.
The company says it is also working on a Windows Phone version.
