“At MetLife, we understand that the most tangible meaning of insurance is actually how it makes our customers feel today. Infinity app’s innovative time capsule offers a unique benefit to Infinity app users: to share later what’s important now – recording and safeguarding their most precious memories for their loved ones to relive and cherish,” said Ms. Sunshine Farzan, Vice President, Head of Marketing and Communications, MetLife Hong Kong. “I am proud and humbled by the success of Infinity app, and hope it has helped to make a positive difference and encourage Hong Kong people to pursue more from life by making thinking about your future and that of your loved ones – something that most find stressful – a social, sharable and enjoyable experience which helps people feel positive about today.”

The Infinity app utilizes a simple interface that is privately shareable, which allows people to capture and share positive messages, photos, and videos to deliver these to their loved ones at a predetermined time in the future. Users can also upload practical items that their loved ones may need to access now or will need in the future. The innovative features, sleek and easy design, and relevance to Hong Kong people’s lives have helped catapult Infinity app’s popularity and recognition from the industry.
