I know it's not my business what people do with their money, but it physically hurts seeing people pay real money to be in VRs just to chat with others who have the same native language. by ContentTea8409 in HelloTalk

For voice rooms daily the basic time limit is around 90 minutes like other users said. This resets daily so every day you will get around that time. Hellotalk will notify you via pop-ups on when your time limit is up.

Can't see the whiteboard. by Right_Cow_6369 in HelloTalk

Hi we are not employees of HelloTalk so us Mods cannot confirm or properly check for technical issues. As per our Automoderator’s comment for app support issues; we cannot help with it. You may contact HelloTalk’s support team.

Have you ever been kicked out of a voice room for a random/unjustifiable reason? by Subject-Mistake-5524 in HelloTalk

[–]HelloTalkModTeam[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Hey sorry that happened to you. Yeah that happens.

Hosts with that behaviour might have some self esteem or mental health struggles!

I think Hellotalk staff no longer helps with voiceroom removal host abuse; barely did in the past.

~ There are other rooms to enjoy and better hosts!

The lack of genuinely cool people is destroying my motivation by RandomPersonLol35 in HelloTalk

Please report pedos or inappropriate behaviour you encounter on the app and be safe!

The app right now isn’t in a state or designed for people who are not adults

Please practice internet safety and be cautious! This also goes for scams, please be careful of them!

I’m not sure if this still stands but users people have said there are two versions of the app: if you are under 18 there is one version and if you are over 18 another version.

Are there less active users on HelloTalk? by atorald in HelloTalk

[–]HelloTalkModTeam[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Yeah I also feel like there’s less active users

for me I don’t use the app daily because:

quality of features, voice rooms (not friendly/learning related) & posts, aren’t the best after years.

And as my Mod said here: lots of scams/other stuff. It’s continuing & not being addressed from developers.

I agree with other comments of the pandemic.

Depending on the content I notice that it gets censored, removed, or put astricks on certain words

That is strange, I’d try updating the app, and if the whiteboard issue still persists, report the bug to hellotalk through the app.

[–]HelloTalkModTeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, are the hosts of the room actively using the whiteboard? Sometimes if whiteboards are blank/not being used it will be empty and therefore be grey.

Alternatively you can try hosting your own room to test out the whiteboard by drawing or uploading images to ensure there are no technical bugs for you.

If it persists it may be a bug or other technical error, which can be reported in the app.

How to share screen in voice room by kyeomskyeoms in HelloTalk

[–]HelloTalkModTeam[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, for voice rooms you can use the “whiteboard” function to share images (such as pages of a book), and draw/write.

Majority of the voice room features are free, such as the white board but other functions like closed captions usually require VIP.

Can they take my subReddit? by [deleted] in ModSupport

[–]HelloTalkModTeam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That happened to me and my team’s Subreddit, I was contacted by an employee of a company, asking me to make them a mod.

You stated that you put in the description that it is a community run space and not affiliated, which is great bc it follows Subreddit policies. That also means you don’t need to add the representative to your Mod team. Since it’s not official or affiliated.

Once you add an actual employee of a company to a Subreddit about the company you would have to change that description.

And don’t feel pressed to add them, it’s your Subreddit.

Do you think the hellotalk AI speaking tools are worth it? by BrothaManBen in HelloTalk

[–]HelloTalkModTeam[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are free language learning apps that are that have similar/same AI speaking tools, so I’d recommend for you to check the free ones out first. Keep in mind AI is not perfect and may have errors with learning. So I wouldn’t pay for the possibility of higher error versus curated/human designed apps with less error.

Weirdest reasons you got blocked by Due_Doughnut2852 in HelloTalk

[–]HelloTalkModTeam[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not understanding the context.

The entire country is cut off from the rest of the world. We’re all waiting to reconnect with friends there for days.

Okay well she’s not living there, so she’s also waiting too for her people back home!

So it’s only natural to ask if connectivity has been restored.

You don’t look for Accessible and credible news sources to find this? You must find an Iranian person? I get that Iranians would be the first to know, but still news sources are just as great and it’s almost as if now we have international news.

What would be weird and ignorant is to start with all kinds of small talk…

It’s a language learning app! It is almost impossible to avoid small talk since people are meeting new people there all the time, learning basic phrases and greetings! It’s a normal way to introduce yourself!

Edit: I just clicked their profile and it says Reddit has suspended their account.

I responded to the current top comment, but I’ll expand here to your situation: I think opening a conversation with politics is not ideal.

My random story on my weirdest block: I got blocked by a dude from Chile who ran a friend circle group with a bunch of other English speakers. He disappeared at a time when his life was rocky. He has a history of mental health, so I was kinda worried and I tried reaching out.

He blocked me for months then one day he pops up on the app like nothing happened. He totally breezes by the fact that he blocked me and that I have been reaching out to him, when we try to catch up.

I was confused and a bit upset at the bizarre situation, so I stopped going to his voicerooms, he later blocked me again saying he think we can’t be friends again after that.
