The Latest Update – Hike 6.0

Let’s quickly run through some of the bigger changes this version has come through with.

Privacy And Security: Hike has always had good security and privacy features in place. With the release of the latest update – Hike 6.0 – the security controls are better than ever. You can make sure specific people can and cannot view certain parts of your profile on Hike. You can update your profile picture, photo, and other details freely as you can always hide it from specific users. There is also a feature that allows users to hide an entire conversation. You can later access it by tapping on the Hike logo and using a pin.

Interface: The new user interface is a nice, refreshing change. The main focus is on Hike’s iconic stickers. You will notice a navigation bar on the right side featuring the different offerings. There is also a “Night Mode” which eases the users’ eyes when they use it during the night. A disappointing fact is that the latest update does not come with any new themes. Slight changes are seen in the existing themes, with minor color changes. The primary color is white, making it uncomfortable for those who prefer darker shades.

Messaging Experience: This is more of a case of what has not been carried over from the previous version than the new features implemented. The ‘swipe to reply’ feature has been skipped, although it was present in Hike 5. It also does not support the option of formatting text. Some new features include ‘deleting messages for all’ and a Nudge feature. Double tapping on an open conversation will vibrate the phone of the other user. You can add themes to your chats, but when one user changes it, it will change for all the users involved in the chat.
