Here is a rewritten version of the article with some minor changes for clarity and concision:
The French social app ten ten has been making waves, allowing users to send voice messages that bypass lock screens. This has raised concerns among teachers and parents about phone hygiene in classrooms, but co-founder Antoine Baché believes there’s an opportunity here.
Baché, along with his co-founder Antoine Baché, have been working around the clock to fix server issues caused by a surge in users. Despite these challenges, they remain optimistic about ten ten’s potential.
The app is being used not only by teens but also in classrooms, where it can be used for pranks and disruptions. However, rather than sparking a moral panic, some educators are viewing ten ten as an opportunity to teach phone etiquette.
"I’ve always had a group of close friends that I communicate with daily through multiple mediums," said co-founder Antoine Baché. "I wanted us to be able to communicate like we were under the same roof, like roommates. You just pop in their room when you want to say something."
Baché and his team are aware of the challenges they face, particularly when it comes to navigating generational gaps and addressing concerns about phone hygiene.
To address these issues, ten ten’s co-founders are working closely with educators and parents to ensure that the app is used responsibly. They believe that by promoting healthy communication habits among young people, they can help create a more positive online environment.
As for the app itself, it seems to be tapping into a nostalgia for retro communication methods. The success of ‘Stranger Things’ has helped revive interest in cassettes and Dungeons & Dragons, and now walkie-talkies are making a comeback through apps like ten ten.
While there are still challenges ahead for ten ten, its co-founders remain committed to their vision of creating an app that brings people closer together.
