Flips Launches Visual Messaging App on iOS

The Flips app allows users to assign photos and videos to their words and emoji to create flipbook-style messages for friends.

In the growing world of mobile messaging apps, it’s become necessary for developers to try something different to stand out from the crowd. Enter Flips, with its self-titled “visually-powered” messaging app, which combines photos and videos with text and emojis to allow users to create and share flipbook-style messages with friends.

With Flips, users send messages by typing their message and assigning a picture or video to each individual element of the phrase, including punctuation and emoji. For instance, users may take a selfie of their shocked face to represent the exclamation point, or wave to the camera for a short video clip associated with the word “Hi.”
