Targeting a foreign audience: An English-language version of MAX has been released

Since its inception, the national messenger MAX has been available exclusively in Russian. This could be inconvenient for users who don't speak Russian but can speak English. This omission has now been corrected—an English-language version of the app has been released.

"You can create a group chat, organize a video call, or manage messenger settings in English. The update allows millions of foreign users to freely communicate with their loved ones in Russia in Max," the press service said.

To activate the English interface, you need to download and install the latest version of the application for the Android operating system, go to "Profile" -> "Application Language" and then select your preferred language.
