How Yolo App Allows Users to Snapchat Anonymously

You can chat anonymously through the Yolo app on Snapchat, here is how to use it.

Yolo is the new app when compared to other apps, as it was released in July in the year 2019. But the app has gained much popularity among the users, especially among the Smartphone users. The growing demand for the app could be estimated with the fact that it appeared at the top of the chart showing the most downloaded apps. The app is still listed among the top eighth social networking app on the app store of Apple. Also, the capability of the app to sync with Snapchat and allowing the users to interact anonymously with each other has made it more widespread. Initially, the app was promoted as an option to the people who were using the app to connect it to the accounts of their Snapchat while adding stickers. Since then, the app has gone through several modifications and updates, along with adding the new features. Among the several updates, the inclusion of the chat functionality in the app was also a new feature that revolutionized it.

There are two absolute ways to use Yolo app anonymously as the first one you can respond to the questions. For instance, if the first user is posting a sticker as asking the craziest thing done or the recommendations of Netflix, the other Yolo users can respond to the questions with more crazy ideas or suggestions. But in a first way, the comments will be displayed as the answers given by someone anonymous. With the latest introduction of the chat feature, the users can use it anonymously, however, with some limitations. The newly introduced chat features allow the users either to join pre-existing chat rooms or to create a new chat room. The chat rooms designed with the Yolo app could be used by the users to open up to the public, or they can make it private, too, by opening it to only for friends. In a second way, the users could be identified by using the avatar of Bitmoji taken by them as compared to the first way. However, the users could not send messages which are entirely anonymous to the group. The feature has not yet arrived on the Android; however, the iPhone users can use it.

Still Prevalent Moderation Problems

Cyber bullying and attacks from online trolls are the most ongoing challenge with the online platforms relying on the anonymity of the users. Yolo is also not an exception to this rule, and according to the reviews on the app store of the iOS, it seems that the app has become a breeding ground for the online bullies. According to the policies of the app, it reveals the identity of those users who have been reported for being involved in abusive behavior. But a reviewer of the app said that he has never seen any revelation of the identities of people involved in the abusive behavior. According to several reviews, it has been established that the app is emerging as the most toxic online platform. Also, it seems that the app is taking not enough care to modernize its features and make it safer and secure for conversation. However, the company has said that it is careful regarding the moderations, and it is its first concern.
