How it works
A user can write their own Sendit or choose from a list of options, such as ‘Ask me anything’. Or a user can choose a question-based game such as ‘Guess Who – reply with a clue and I’ll guess who you are’. They can play ‘AR’ (Augmented Reality) games which show animations on top of a photo or video. Users can also message Sendit creators or search for other users, including finding people who live nearby.
A Sendit or game can be shared as a link or posted on Snapchat. Users get a limited number of guesses to identify a sender, or they can pay for hints. Trophies are awarded for posting Sendits and getting replies.
Users can create an ‘AI Profile’ to summarise their personality. Building this requires a selfie and answers to personal questions about:
• Which school they attend, picked from a list of local schools based on location data, including primary schools
• Ethnicity, religion and other personal information
• Who they text most
• Whether they are single and their dating ‘standards’ like gender, income and ethnicity
The AI creates a bio covering star sign, love languages and red and green flags. These searchable profiles allow other users to message for an automatic response. A user can control if their AI finds and messages others with similar interests.
Parental controls or safety settings available
There are no parental controls on Sendit. However, a user can:
• Hide sections of their AI profile and prevent friends from sending messages to their AI and getting auto responses
• Report a harmful message to the app and block the sender
• Use the Snapchat safety settings to apply to Sendit messages sent on Snapchat
