imessage & telegram
folk works in both — here's how each one feels, and the small differences worth knowing.
folk lives in whichever you prefer. both get you the same folk; a few small things just work a little differently. you can pick (or switch) your home base in your dashboard settings.
the quick comparison
- share location — one tap. folk shows a button, you press it, done. great for planning dates and finding nearby spots.
- live location — you can share your location live so folk can keep up as
you move. text
/geolocfor a quick walkthrough. - voice notes — send a voice message and folk transcribes it. it can reply with a voice note too.
- photos & files — send attachments and folk can read them.
- menu — tap the menu to see folk's commands without typing.
- share location — no one-tap button here, so just tell folk the neighborhood or paste an apple maps link to the place.
- voice notes — send an audio message and folk handles it; it can reply with a native voice memo.
- photos & files — attach images or documents (up to ~10mb) and folk reads them.
- feels native — folk shows up like any other contact in messages, including reactions.
voice mode
on either platform, you can have folk reply out loud. toggle it with:
/voice
handy when you're walking or driving and don't want to read.
language
folk follows your lead on language and can usually detect it automatically. want
to lock a chat to a specific language? use /language.
switching home base later is easy — open settings → connections in your dashboard and connect the other one.
