Two years after its launch on iOS and with an Android version arriving in April of the same year, Ten Ten has become one of the most popular apps in recent times, especially for the French government. This communication app has already attracted millions of downloads worldwide and is now appearing on the lists of major app stores. With over five million downloads, it is one of the trendiest and best-selling apps.
Created by French developers Jules Colmar and Antoine Bache, Ten Ten combines the features of social networks with those of private communication services such as WhatsApp. Its operation is simple – users can login or register using their email address, Google account or TikTok account. The app allows users to transform their phone into a walkie-talkie, enabling live audio communication with their contacts, even if the phone’s screen is locked. The feature has attracted millions of young people around the world, but has raised concerns from French Interior Minister Camille Chazé about potential risks to privacy and security.
Despite its popularity, Ten Ten has faced criticism for the amount of personal data it collects from users, including photos, device IDs, contacts and email addresses. There are concerns about the ease with which unwanted contact can be made with strangers and the lack of privacy and security measures associated with its use. The French government recommends caution when using Ten Ten and advises parents to supervise their children’s use of the app to reduce the risk of harassment.
Ten Ten is available for both iOS and Android users and is free to download and use, with no in-app purchases. It can now be downloaded and used in Spain via the App Store for iOS and the Google Play Store for Android. The real-time walkie-talkie app format has been praised for its innovative communication features
