Visit official siteWhat it does
Boba is designed to live in the Messages app you already have, either one to one or in a group. The site's start path is Open Messages, and that first text is the sign-up.
It can price a trip, keep a shared list, nag a reminder, draft an email, or book a table after you say yes. On Android it uses RCS or SMS, including group chats that mix phones.
