About
Music Messenger is a mobile application that enables users to search for virtually any song, create playlists, and send them to their phone contacts. The app stores received music messages in a library for later listening. It aims to simplify music sharing and acts as a promotional tool for the music industry. The company operated out of Israel and gained popularity for its ad-free and subscription-free service. In 2016, Shellanoo Group closed its Israel branch and operations after being acquired.
