The official Tuenti application comes to Windows 8.1

After the arrival of the official Facebook application for Windows 8.1, Tuenti was not going to sit idly by. With more than 15 million users behind it, it seems not to want to miss a single opportunity, and for this reason it appears in Windows 8.1 with its official application.

In this article we will see what this application can offer us, which by the way offers an experience much closer to Windows 8 taking advantage of all their possibilities, since they have not limited themselves to ignoring the system interface and importing the same application that already exists on other platforms, as is the case with Facebook.

Tuenti for Windows 8.1

The Tuenti homepage for Windows 8.1 shows us a list of the contacts available to start a chat, the latest updates of our contacts (status, photos, shared links…) and information about our profile

"

From here we can also start a new chat with any of our friends, even if they don&39;t appear on the front page, or add a moment. This allows us to share a photo or video, mention someone, or simply update our status."

In addition, in the upper left part we have a notification counter, from which we can quickly consult all our news, such as For example, messages received while we were offline, new mentions or tags, etc.

If we visit a friend's profile, we will see their profile photo and a tile that will allow us to access their album, followed by all updates or moments that this has shared publicly. By default, the most recent ones will be loaded, but if we move to the right, more will be loaded.

Thanks to the tiles that indicate the month and year to which the publications that follow them belong, we can quickly find what we are looking for if we know the approximate date it was published.

As for the chats, these allow us to have a conversation with any of our contacts, or even create a group (this option is available with any open chat, in the bottom bar of the application).As you can see in the image, the interface will show us the profile image of all the contacts that are participating in the conversation, as well as next to each message to identify who wrote it.

The integrated chat of the application will allow us to do the same as the one on the official website, except start a video chat and share videosThat is, we will have the possibility of sharing images, either from our album or from those stored on our device.

Conclution

Tuenti for Windows 8.1 is a risky bet, although very successful, since the application does not disappoint at all, and gives a warning to the competition by showing how an application for Windows 8 should be made if you want it get to succeed. The first thing that stands out is the interface of the application, which follows the Modern UI style in detailso characteristic of the latest version of Microsoft's operating system.

The lack of an integrated system for sharing videos or starting a video chat is overshadowed by the other benefits of the application ( although some will still miss it). And it is that this application could have become one more of the bunch, but nevertheless comes to Windows 8 through the front door

Now we just have to wait for the application to receive updates over time... and who knows, maybe it won't take so long to receive an update that implements what little it lacks to be complete. At the moment, seems to be liking a lot among users, because at the time of writing this article the application has a rating of 4.7 out of 5 calculated with 27 votes.
