Hey everyone. I’m wanting to implement a way for my users to chat with each other while still tracking the conversations and masking their real phone numbers from each other. Airbnb, UBEr, etc does this well…
Twilio has a tutorial, but it instantly went over my head since it seems to need a developer to write the code… My question is, has anyone had experience with this? And If not, do you think it would be possible to implement this into my SOFTR app?
Here’s the tutorial:
Also Twilio support gave me some other references too:
I looked into chat features for my app a while back, and it was a bit overwhelming at first. I found that using something like Twilio can be tricky if you’re not familiar with coding. For masking phone numbers, I ended up using a service that provided a non voip number for sms verification to keep things private, and it worked like a charm. It let users chat without exposing their real numbers. If you’re using SOFTR, maybe consider integrating a third-party chat solution that handles these features.
