What is Disa, Whatsapp and SMS in a single APP: How to use

WhatsApp is an essential application on Android; However, the fact that we have to alternate between this and text messages when we are conversing on both ways with a contact or with multiple of them, perhaps it is more than annoying on certain occasions.

Disa is the ideal application to improve this uncomfortable experience a bit, by joining WhatsApp and SMS messages in one place.

To begin with, it is only a matter of installing the application, and adding the services that we want to use in the application, in this case, WhatsApp and text messages. There will be support for more services later, but for now these are the only two that can be added. From now on we will talk about service when we want to refer to any of these.

The application configuration options allow you to adjust a series of parameters, such as notifications (Vibration and Audio), Back Press (remembers the last service used to communicate), Fast Service Switch (to switch to the service used in a conversation combined WhatsApp and SMS), activate Android Emojis, etc.

The Services section at the bottom of settings allows us to change the colors of each service to better identify them (Bubble colors). Different colors can be used for incoming and outgoing messages.

Then comes the somewhat more technical part. You have to verify the APN of the operator for the SMS service, and the verification of WhatsApp. There is no need to worry because the application can automatically detect the APN (if not, you can always configure it manually), and, for the verification of the WhatsApp number, we will have to indicate the country and our number, to later decide the verification method by SMS or call.

If you want to use the number of the device you are using, check the Verifying with this phone’s number box, or use a code if you already have one.

It should be noted that, as the application indicates, the official WhatsApp application must first be uninstalled to install Disa (the two applications cannot work at the same time; there will surely be conflicts between them); However, according to the AddictiveTips review, on which this article is based, it is ensured that there is no problem as long as different verification numbers are used for WhatsApp and Disa.

After finishing all this process it is time to start messaging. On the application’s home screen, tap on the button in the upper right to choose to message by Text or by WhatsApp. After choosing any of them, the respective contacts of each of these services will appear and, by choosing any of them, we will be able to see their current status (only in the case of WhatsApp, obviously).

And here is the feature that makes Disa stand out: it is possible to combine a text conversation and a WhatsApp conversation in one. To do this, you just have to choose one or more conversations and use the> .

Generally speaking, this is how Disa works; there are several things that probably have not been mentioned here but can be found in the application’s FAQ, on the official website Disa.im

According to the app developers, more services such as Facebook, Google Hangouts, KiK and Steam will be added in the future. They will undoubtedly make it one of the best unified messaging applications.

To download Disa, which is currently in alpha version, and unfortunately not on Google Play, it is necessary to join its community on Google Plus, and after that return to Disa.im to download it through the small Android icon.

Upgrade: You can now download Disa directly from Google Play in this link.
