The team behind Musical.ly has created a new video messaging app that it says will be the "ultimate video messenger" – just don't expect to be able to use it just yet.
It's called PingPong, and although details about the app are scarce, it seems like the company may be aiming it as a potential competitor to Snapchat.
The app was added to the App Store on February 9, according to analytics from App Annie, but it appears to still be in some stage before its official release, as users are unable to log into the app or access anything beyond the initial launch screen.
A few details based on the App Store description and the app's splash screen give us an idea of the app. Described as "the ultimate video messenger," pingpong lets you record your video messages, which you can share with your friends.
While it's unclear how long the messages will stay or if they'll disappear after a certain amount of time, the simple interface visible in the App Store screenshot suggests that regular Snapchat users will be more than comfortable using PingPong.
Pingpong isn't Musical.ly's first foray into a more personal video app. The company launched a group video chat app in January called Squad, which allows for group video chats. Pingpong, on the other hand, seems to be geared more toward recorded video messages.
