## Description

SoftTalk Messenger is Nigeria's all-in-one messaging app that lets you chat, make free audio and video calls, and shop genuine products and services. Connect with friends and family using instant messaging, voice calls, or video chats. You can add contacts from your phone book or simply enter a number to start a chat, send voice notes, and share photos, videos, files, and emoji.

It also features flexible calling options with monthly packages, wallet credits for low-rate international calls, and group chats for collaborations with friends and family. With in-app shopping and quality-controlled products, SoftTalk turns messaging into a seamless chat-and-shop experience—the first Nigerian app to combine secure chat with a built-in marketplace.
