What is Ten Ten?

Ten Ten is a social media service that turns your phone into a walkie-talkie. You can add friends by sending them a unique pin code and, once they have accepted your friend request, you can communicate via live audio messages by holding down a button. Like a walkie talkie, Ten Ten does not allow simultaneous two-way communication. When you connect with someone on Ten Ten, they do not have to answer the call, as live audio is immediately received even if their phone is locked. However, it is possible to mute people for set periods of time, block them or remove them as friends. Ten Ten is a company based in France.
