Honk is a new messaging app that wants to do what WhatsApp did to text messaging, by introducing real-time messaging. The app promises an in-the-moment messaging experience, with messages being shown to the other person as you type. The app is currently only available for iOS users and will soon be made available for Android also. Also Read - WhatsApp might soon allow for easy chat transfer between iOS, Android
The app does not have a send button and limits the messages to 160 characters. To recall, SMSes also have a size of about 160 characters. Once a user hits the 160 character limit, they need to tap the refresh button to start from scratch. Due to its real-time approach, the Honk disappearing chats has no chat history.

Messages are shown on Honk as you type, no chat history
You can press Honk button to get someone’s attention
Honk wants to usher in real-time messaging. Instant messaging? That s passé for Honk. The iPhone-only app launched Tuesday globally after months of testing, with the promise of an in-the-moment messaging experience. On Honk, your messages are shown to the other person as you type, right down to that typo, extra space, or the pause to think something over. There is no send button because there s no need for it. And you only have 160 characters (about the size of a traditional SMS text message) to convey your thoughts. Once you hit the limit, you hit a refresh button to start from scratch. Predictably, Honk has no chat history.
Honk introduces a real-time, ephemeral messaging app aimed at Gen Z
A new mobile app called Honk aims to make messaging with friends a more interactive, real-time experience. Instead of sending texts off into the void and hoping for a response, friends on Honk communicate via messages that are shown live as you type, with no saved chat history and no send button. The end result is a feeling of being more present in a conversation, as Honk will notify users the moment someone leaves a chat. And if you really want to get someone’s attention, you can send them a “Honk” a hard-to-miss notification to join your chat.
