Create Your Own Stories - Chat-Style - with Tap by Wattpad
Last week we released Tap by Wattpad to the delight of the global Wattpad community. Tap by Wattpad is a free app for short, chat-style stories. The stories unfold via chat messages, as if you’re reading someone’s text conversation. You move the story forward by simply tapping to reveal the next part.
Today, we’re thrilled to announce an updated version of the app that features a new Create function. Now everyone can create their own chat-style Tap stories and share them with the world! Tap by Wattpad is the first chat-style storytelling app to offer a Create function for both Android and iOS devices. The updated app is available for free on iTunes and the Google Play Store.
A New Way To Share and Create Stories
The new Create feature lets people create interactive stories in a variety of languages using a combination of text, images, and emojis. Storytellers can create custom story covers and can even help set the mood for their readers by adding images to appear behind the story’s chat bubbles. As soon as a story is created, writers can share it with others on social media, through email, and text message (obviously!)
With thousands of free chat-style stories available on the app, Tap is a fun new way to immerse yourself in stories. We’ve already seen phenomenal interest in the new app. Since the release of Tap by Wattpad, we’ve seen over 125 million taps!
