Why screenshots

Not every conversation lives somewhere you can highlight. Hinge has no web version. A text from a neighbour is on your phone. A thread is long enough that copying it line by line is a chore.

A screenshot carries the whole picture: who said what and in what order, plus the bits you would not think to copy, like a read receipt or a gap of three days.

In Chrome: up to four at a time

Open the Breezily panel and add up to four screenshots. Drop them in, paste them or pick them from your files. Four is enough for most threads and keeps the read focused on the conversation, not the whole history.

  1. Take screenshots of the chat on your phone or computer.
  2. Open the Breezily panel in Chrome.
  3. Add up to four screenshots, oldest first.
  4. Check the read, pick a reply, adjust it and send it yourself.

On iPhone and Android: copy the screenshot

On the iPhone keyboard (in pilot), take a screenshot, copy it and switch to the Breezily keyboard in the chat you are replying in. It reads what you copied and offers the reply above the keys. Use this puts it in the message field.

The Android keyboard is coming soon and works the same way. You will also be able to share a screenshot straight to Breezily.

What it reads

Breezily reads the messages in the screenshot and works out which side is you, the order they came in and anything in the picture that changes the meaning, such as timestamps. Then it writes the read and two or three replies, the same as with text.

Here is a text from a neighbour, added as a screenshot.

Text messageNeighbour complaint

They said: Hi, its Dave from no.14

They said: Your car has been across our drive again this morning. Third time this month.

Read the room

Annoyed and keeping count. He wants it acknowledged and to know it will stop. A short apology with a concrete change lands better than an explanation.

Avoid: Disputing the count turns a parking issue into a feud.

Apologise and fix

Sorry Dave, that's on me. I'll park on the other side from now on.

Apologise and explain

Really sorry. We've had builders taking the space outside ours. They're gone Friday and it won't happen again.

Privacy

The screenshots you add are sent to our server to write the reply and are not stored by default. Crop out anything you would rather not share. Breezily only sees what you give it. Read more in privacy and security.

Questions

Can I add more than four screenshots?

Not in one go. Pick the four that matter most, usually the most recent part of the chat.

Does it work with any app?

Yes. If it is a conversation on a screen, a screenshot works: dating apps, texts, DMs or email.

Are my screenshots kept?

They are sent to our server to write the reply and are not stored by default.
