Overview of Samsung ChatON
Samsung ChatON was a messaging application from Samsung that combined text chats with social features and voice/video calling. It offered free messaging between users and bundled extras such as a personal activity feed, media sharing, and in-app translation tools.
Getting set up
- Create a profile using either your phone number or your Samsung account.
- The app connects to your contacts and lists people already using ChatON so you can begin conversations immediately.
- Users could post short status updates (limited to 140 characters) on a personal wall where contacts could leave comments.
Notable capabilities
- Broadcast a single message to many recipients at once — support reached up to 1,000 contacts.
- Make VoIP and video calls directly from the app.
- Share photos, videos, audio clips and your geographic location with chat partners.
- Apply custom chat backgrounds, use a variety of emoticons and add unique sticker art to messages.
- Translate incoming messages to help when friends write in different languages.
- Retract sent messages if you need to cancel something sent in error.
Design and usability
The interface was tidy and intuitive, resembling familiar instant-messaging layouts to make adoption fast for new users. It combined the quick back-and-forth of chat apps with a mini social feed for those who wanted more than one-to-one messaging.

ChatON is no longer available for download. If you need a replacement, check Apps > Communication Apps > SMS & IM in your app store to explore current alternatives.
