History
[edit | edit source]The product was created as a web-based application in 2005 for accessing multiple chat platforms,[7] including Facebook Messenger, Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, and Skype chat.[8] It was developed by Pagebites, which is a subsidiary of Singularity IM, Inc. and required a subscriber's phone number to verify the users' account.[9] In March 2014, support for all third-party messaging networks ended.[10]
In January 2018, the app reached 500 million installs.[11]
imo.im has implemented end-to-end encryption for its chats and calls, ensuring that the conversations remain private between the sender and receiver.[citation needed]
