Contacts
As with any other messaging app, the person you want to chat with must also have PandaApp installed. If they have not already registered, share your code with them, and invite them to join.
To start a new chat, tap the blue circle (7 in the image above) in the bottom right corner to open your contacts list.
If you already have a lot of chats, you can tap the magnifying glass (5 in the image above) to search your current chats for the person you want to chat with.
To see someone in the PandaApp on the contact list, they must be saved to your phone’s contacts. Their number must be saved including the country code. So if it is someone from the UK whose number is 07911123456, save the number in your phone contacts: +447911123456. Be sure to leave out the zero at the start of the phone number. Close PandaApp and open it again. Also give it a moment for the new contact to show in your contact list in PandaApp.
If you are experiencing issues with your contacts, please read the FAQ Doc
You can also invite friends who do not yet have PandaApp by tapping on the blue circle and then “Invite Friends”. There is a message containing your referral code. You can choose to copy the message and share it by other messaging options if the option is not available in the share screen.
Your referral code will be sent out with the message mentioned above. You can also see your referral code by going to your profile in the app.
You can also find your code highlighted in yellow when you login to PandaPals.
Once your contact is saved correctly and you can see them in the contact list in the app, you can tap their name to start a chat with them. When you open the direct chat, you can choose to type a text message, send an attachment or make a voice or video call.
You can also search your contacts list by tapping the magnifying glass in the top right corner.
In the direct chat window, you can also tap the name of your contact to bring up their profile. For now the profile for contacts only displays a larger image of their profile photo and their phone number as stored on PandaApp.
Select the Chat button at the bottom of the screen. Open an existing chat or tap on the blue circle to view contacts and tap a name to open the direct chat window. Choose either voice or video call in the top right corner to make a call.
There is now an app broadcast where Punk Panda can send out messages to all users who have the latest version. These messages are announcements for zoom meetings or important updates or urgent actions that need to be taken.
