Mitra does not replace calls that you already make to your friends where you want to talk to them. In fact, I encourage you to talk to your friends more directly.

Mitra is useful for 3 main reasons when it comes to friends:

1.) When you or the other person are not comfortable saying certain things or having certain, tough conversations.

2.) When you or the other person may not have the time to have a full fledged conversation about something.

3.) When you want to call your friends for pure entertainment purposes by having Mitra say funny things.

So if a friend used this on you it does not necessarily mean that they view you in a negative light.

Mitra, just like Snapchat or Twitter DMs or Instagram DMs, is simply another way you can communicate with your friends that is more engaging and fun than the others.
