Talk your love out! buz emerges as social app phenomenon, fueling users to connect through voice

 In the last decade, we have been witnesses to how quickly the landscape of daily messaging has transformed. With convenience at its pinnacle, messaging platforms have been on the rise, allowing all to type texts in an instant.

But such ways of connecting also have their downsides; beyond the effort to manually text, instant messaging could also devalue our connections with surface-level exchanges. And while instant gratification provides convenience, not having the means to converse on a deeper level may affect the bonds we have with others – this is what social app, buz, aims to fix: by being at the forefront of voice-powered communication.

Illustrating how voice can create a world of difference in deepening relationships would be the irresistible tandem of Barbie Forteza and David Licauco, who features in buz’s latest TVC! Beyond showcasing their undeniable chemistry, the full clip also highlights buz’s main goal: to connect through voice, and to let users feel that they are always with their loved ones.

Recognizing the power of our natural voice, buz is the social app that improves the ways people connect with one another. Going beyond merely text, buz empowers users to converse with their easy-to-use Push-to-Talk (PTT) feature, allowing users to quickly send voice notes that play instantaneously for the receiver. 

Flexibility is another core value of buz, allowing users to multitask in between apps and even transcribing with its Voice to Text feature to improve the ways we connect everyday. Aiming to provide more fulfilling exchanges that no other messaging platforms can offer, buz is also home to a number of fun features such as Voicemojis, voice filters, and virtual gifts.

All such options within the app are ultimately a part of buz’s efforts to not only add a unique, personalized flavor to every conversation, but also embody the app’s core value of enabling enriched communication with loved ones in an instant – all powered by everyone’s voice.

Connect through voice with buz and don’t forget to catch its latest TVC featuring Barbie Forteza and David Licauco! Now the #1 downloaded social app on combined Apple and Android downloads, buz is also free to easily allow anyone to fuel and deepen their connections instantaneously with voice.
