Unique Features of Lotus Chat Bring the Experience of “Changing Nicknames”
One of the standout features of Lotus Chat is the ability to change your display name, allowing users to adopt different identities right from the start. Users can choose to change their display names to nicknames like “Beloved,” “Bach Nguyet Quang,” etc. However, this feature also brings along the experience of “awkward situations.”
“My friends and I set up a group chat on Lotus Chat just for us to talk about food or go out partying. But someone changed their name to ‘Em Yeu’ (I Love You) and ‘Bach Nguyet Quang,’ making it confusing for my partner. I had to explain it endlessly,” shared Minh Duc, a staff member at the office.
It’s not just Minh Duc who feels this way; the ability to change display names, or nicknames, allows for numerous playful experiences, but it can sometimes lead to “awkward” situations.
According to the Lotus Chat design team, “nicknames” are not only for users to “entertain” each other but also serve as a means of privacy protection. With these nicknames, users can participate in any chat channel without revealing their identity. Of course, this only applies when users do not choose to upload personal photos to their profile. Otherwise, any information regarding their identity remains protected.
Key Benefits of the Display Name Change Feature in Lotus Chat
“With just a few actions, the nickname feature will help us ‘blend in’ seamlessly in any group,” said a representative from VCCorp during a press conference announcing the Lotus Chat application.
For many users, changing their display names to those of friends, family, or loved ones can create a sense of closeness in their relationships. At the same time, it mirrors the cherished moments of today’s fast-paced life. For many, a close friendship is often accompanied by the freedom to change nicknames or display names.
Alongside features like Music Playlist or Convo Chat Frame, the nickname/display name change function is being widely appreciated by users. Not only is it convenient, but it also plays a crucial role in user privacy. Currently, Lotus Chat is focused on providing the best chat experience for Vietnamese users, designed by Vietnamese developers.
