Exchange anonymous messages in the Yik Yak app

Yik Yak is a social network that allows users to connect with their local community, share news, jokes, and ask questions. The app uses geolocation to display messages only from users nearby, enabling participants to vote on posts to remove inappropriate content.

What is Yik Yak: More About The Application

 

Yik Yak is an anonymous messenger app, more akin to a game. Its popularity is largely due to the preservation of anonymity. Posts, referred to as «yaks», can be commented upon. User popularity is shown in their «Yakarma».

The app resembles an anonymous Twitter but with geographical limitations: an acceptable radius of about 1.5 km tied to your phone's GPS. If an author wants their post seen by more than 500 people, they have to pay from one to ten dollars depending on the audience size.

 

App Features

1. Yakarma: A score indicating a user's popularity within the app. Yakarma increases when others positively rate a user's yaks and decreases if they are negatively received.

2. Upvote/Downvote: Users can vote on others' yaks with «up» or «down» buttons. Yak popularity is determined by the number of «upvotes». If a yak receives too many «downvotes», it is removed from the app.

3. Peek: A feature allowing users to anonymously view Yik Yak communities in other locations. However, users cannot vote or comment.

4. Images: Users can add images to their yaks. Uploaded photos are moderated to prevent inappropriate or illegal content.

5. Hidden Features: If a message contains threats or insults, the app sends a warning to the user. If ignored, the message is flagged and removed during moderation.
