VoxWeb, the social networking app developed around ‘speaking-pics’ or voice-augmented photos have unveiled new designs and features on its Android and IOS Apps. The most significant of the new features – introduced after heavy user demand – is the ‘Embed Voxie’ option which allows users to embed a voice-augmented photo to their blogs and other websites/webpages. In addition to this, users can now store the newly created voice-augmented pic to their device without the compulsion of sharing or sending. Users can also create a private Voxie collection by leveraging this feature.
Also, in a major policy shift, VoxWeb disabled the likes and comments count on other users’ content [content creator will continue to have the like and comment counts along with the like list] to remove the ‘performance anxiety’ friction and thus encouraging users to post frequent updates without worrying about the number of likes they get on the post publicly.
Other new features introduced in the VoxWeb app include doodle drawings and sticker pasting options on pics, pin post to the top of profile page and two simple and effective privacy settings options. These features will provide users with an elevated photo sharing and social media experience while using the platform.
Speaking about the new app versions, VoxWeb representative said
These new features in VoxWeb social media platform adds another dimension to a user’s social media experience. We are continuously working to provide our users a unique and rich experience while revolutionizing the digital image-sharing and social media space.

The latest features and designs available are:
- Embed voxie option: Now users can embed a voice-augmented photo to their blogs or websites
- Private voxie collection: Users can transform their album or other photos to voice-augmented photos and save them on the device, without the need to post or send those photos. This creates a private rich collection of voice-augmented photos
- Doodle: Users can also add stickers and draw doodles on the ‘speaking-pic’ or a voxie created
- Pin-to-top: There is an option to pin a social media post at the top of their social media page
- Innovative approach to privacy settings: With a combination of merely 2 options, users can effectively enable the desired level of privacy and everything remains in sync with the fundamental nature of a ‘follower-following’ network
- Following list: VoxWeb has disabled the option to see a user’s ‘Following’ list to encourage following within the network
- Changes to update likes and comments on the app: The platform will not display the number of likes and comments anymore [though comments to any post will always remain visible]. This ensures that sure users don’t have any ‘performance anxiety’ while creating a post that is a big friction on various one-to-many communication platforms.
