Complex computing network for initiating and extending audio conversations among mobile device users on a mobile application

An apparatus for initiating and streaming audio conversations, the apparatus comprising:

• one or more computing device processors;
• one or more memory systems comprising code, executable by the one or more computing device processors, and configured to:
• determine a first user accesses a mobile application on a first mobile device of the first user;
• determine a second user accesses the mobile application on a second mobile device of the second user;
• initiate an audio conversation between at least the first user and the second user, wherein the audio conversation does not comprise a video conversation between the at least the first user and the second user;
• transmit audio conversation information to at least one of the first user or the second user;
• stream the audio conversation to a third user who accesses the mobile application on a third mobile device of the third user;
• stream the audio conversation to a fourth user who accesses the mobile application on a fourth mobile device of the fourth user;
• transmit, to the first mobile device for visual display, during the audio conversation, on a user interface of the mobile application on the first mobile device, a visual representation of the second user not comprising a video of the second user;
• transmit, to the second mobile device for visual display, during the audio conversation, on a user interface of the mobile application on the second mobile device, a visual representation of the first user not comprising a video of the first user;
• transmit, to the third mobile device for visual display, during the audio conversation, on a user interface of the mobile application on the third mobile device, both the visual representation of the first user not comprising the video of the first user, and the visual representation of the second user not comprising the video of the second user;
• transmit, to the fourth mobile device for visual display, during the audio conversation, on a user interface of the mobile application on the fourth mobile device, both the visual representation of the first user not comprising the video of the first user, and the visual representation of the second user not comprising the video of the second user;
• receive, from the fourth mobile device, a selection of the visual representation of the first user not comprising the video of the first user;
• and
• in response to receiving the selection of the visual representation of the first user not comprising the video of the first user, transmit, to the fourth mobile device for visual display, during the streaming of the audio conversation between the at least the first user and the second user to the fourth user, on a second user interface, different from the user interface of the mobile application on the fourth mobile device, of the mobile application on the fourth mobile device, user profile information associated with the first user,
• wherein the user profile information associated with the first user is editable by the first user during the audio conversation between the at least the first user and the second user,
• wherein the audio conversation between the at least the first user and the second user continues to stream to the fourth mobile device when the fourth user accesses, during the audio conversation, a second mobile application on the fourth mobile device, and
• wherein voice input of the third user received from the third mobile device is output on the fourth mobile device, during the audio conversation, in response to a request transmitted to the first mobile device or the second mobile device, and approval of the request received from the first mobile device or the second mobile device.

A method for initiating and streaming audio conversations, the method comprising:

• determining, using one or more computing device processors, a first user accesses a mobile application on a first mobile device of the first user;
• determining, using the one or more computing device processors, a second user accesses the mobile application on a second mobile device of the second user;
• initiating, using the one or more computing device processors, an audio conversation between at least the first user and the second user, wherein the audio conversation does not comprise a video conversation between the at least the first user and the second user;
• transmitting, using the one or more computing device processors, audio conversation information to at least one of the first user or the second user;
• streaming, using the one or more computing device processors, the audio conversation to a third user who accesses the mobile application on a third mobile device of the third user;
• streaming, using the one or more computing device processors, the audio conversation to a fourth user who accesses the mobile application on a fourth mobile device of the fourth user;
• transmitting, using the one or more computing device processors, to the first mobile device for visual display, during the audio conversation, on a user interface of the mobile application on the first mobile device, a visual representation of the second user not comprising a video of the second user;
• transmitting, using the one or more computing device processors, to the second mobile device for visual display, during the audio conversation, on a user interface of the mobile application on the second mobile device, a visual representation of the first user not comprising a video of the first user;
• transmitting, using the one or more computing device processors, to the third mobile device for visual display, during the audio conversation, on a user interface of the mobile application on the third mobile device, both the visual representation of the first user not comprising the video of the first user, and the visual representation of the second user not comprising the video of the second user;
• transmitting, using the one or more computing device processors, to the fourth mobile device for visual display, during the audio conversation, on a user interface of the mobile application on the fourth mobile device, both the visual representation of the first user not comprising the video of the first user, and the visual representation of the second user not comprising the video of the second user;
• receiving, using the one or more computing device processors, from the fourth mobile device, a selection of the visual representation of the first user not comprising the video of the first user;
• and
• in response to receiving the selection of the visual representation of the first user not comprising the video of the first user, transmitting, using the one or more computing device processors, to the fourth mobile device for visual display, during the streaming of the audio conversation between the at least the first user and the second user to the fourth user, on a second user interface, different from the user interface of the mobile application on the fourth mobile device, of the mobile application on the fourth mobile device, user profile information associated with the first user,
• wherein voice input of the third user received from the third mobile device is output on the fourth mobile device, during the audio conversation, in response to a request transmitted to the first mobile device or the second mobile device, and approval of the request received from the first mobile device or the second mobile device.
