Yik Yak is an anonymous messenger developed for Android mobile devices. The utility is especially popular on college campuses.
Anonymity
The mobile app is an anonymous social network where users can share any kind of information. Most often these are jokes, anecdotes and funny stories. It is possible to promote your post so that as many people as possible see it.
Yik Yak resembles the social network Twitter. Like on the popular platform, the feed consists of text messages. The main distinguishing feature is the anonymity of users. Participants share their thoughts and observations under made-up nicknames.
Another distinctive feature is the geolocation principle. Users can access messages from members who are close to each other, within 5 miles. Overall, a community with similar interests is formed. You can download Woo Dating to communicate and meet like-minded people.
Security
Yik Yak allows users to promote posts. If the authors want their message to be seen by more than 500 people, then they need to make a payment. The exact amount depends on the amount of audience they want to reach.
It is worth noting that the app was shut down at some point due to a case of harassment and life threats. In addition, user data was periodically transferred to third parties.
