About this APK

Yandex.Messenger (beta) is an app by Яндекс in the Business category, listed since at least April 2021. It includes native code for x86 32-bit, x86 64-bit, ARM 32-bit and ARM 64-bit, so it runs on practically every phone.

Since version 10.0.3050, the minimum Android version rose from 5.0 to 7.0. It asks for 35 permissions, 10 of them sensitive, including camera, record audio and read contacts. Compared with version 238.2.152, it adds 2 new permissions: “Use biometric hardware” and “Use fingerprint hardware”. The app can read the advertising ID that ad and analytics services use.

What's new in v238.9.207

This is a small update. We've made sure you won't get notifications when the "Do not disturb" status is on.

Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Important! The beta version is a platform for testing the application. It is intended for experienced users who are prepared to report errors and problems. Send us feedback via the application menu or by email: [email protected]. Yandex Messenger is a secure corporate messenger with a familiar interface. We've combined important messenger functions and added the features necessary for working in any business, such as inviting teams or departments to a group chat. It's easier to work on projects when all your work contacts are in one place, and chats with family and friends don't distract you from your tasks. • There's no more confusion between business and personal messages. No one else can read your chats: all Yandex Messenger data stays inside the company, allowing you to work more efficiently with NDA material. • Quickly search for colleagues by name: company employees will automatically appear in Yandex Messenger from the company's contact book. • You can create groups and individual channels, such as for company news, and then immediately add the necessary department. • Messages can be marked "important", so you can quickly find them in a separate list. • Send emojis, stickers, and reactions to messages that won't interfere with the dialogue. • Yandex Messenger saves chats from Telemost, so you can check notes made during video conferences. • Anonymous and public surveys are available with the option to export the results as a file. • Audio messages are automatically transcribed as text. Yandex Messenger is available with whichever Yandex 360 business plan best suits your company.
