2022 has been an amazing roller coaster for Yubo, a year full of challenges but more importantly, full of big achievements. The app has evolved significantly, releasing new updates and features with three main focuses: making the app safer than ever before, creating tailored exclusive features for users to find friends more easily, and finally, diversifying our user experience on livestreams.

We updated our reporting system. Although our reporting process has always been simple and accessible for our users in allowing them to communicate concerns about suspicious or harmful behaviors, user profiles or situations they experience on the app, we have improved the tool further to make it more effective for our Safety Specialists. This enables Yubo’s safety team to address any issues that are flagged by our users and take appropriate actions much faster than ever before. 

Users are now able to share more information and submit a longer message explaining any troubles they are facing on the app. Users can also now add up to four media files to their reports in order to provide our Safety Specialists with more context and help them to better understand the problem.

Our users’ safety is our number one concern, and it is important to Yubo that every user has sufficient agency to acknowledge how they are feeling and report any profiles or behaviors that are harmful or make them uncomfortable. 

We introduced a new age verification system in partnership with digital identity provider Yoti. Thanks to this new feature, Yubo has officially become the first social media platform to age-verify 100% of its users all over the world, with all users successfully verified in less than 3 months. With comprehensive age verification, Yubo can help ensure that everyone on the app is the age they say they are and give users confidence in who they are interacting with online. It also helps to prevent fake profiles, bots and people with bad intentions from accessing the platform, and to ensure users are socializing with others in their similar age group with a higher level of accuracy.

Making Yubo as safe an environment as possible where users feel empowered to interact online is of key importance to Yubo. This is why we give our users control of who they decide to and also why we allow them to block or report any users they are having problems with. 

We developed an audio moderation technology for livestreams, released for our English-speaking users in the US, UK, Australia and Canada. In partnership with Hive, a new machine learning AI was released that tackles challenges of real-time audio analysis. The AI records and automatically transcribes 10-second snippets of audio in livestreams of 10 or more people. The text is scanned by the algorithm instantly and only transcripts containing words or phrases that violate Yubo’s Community Guidelines are flagged for review by Yubo’s safety specialists. Transcripts with no suspected violations are not reviewed nor kept. As this technology continues to improve, it will help Yubo detect hate speech, bullying and harassment, violence and self-harm. 

We created an “Elite Pack” that our users can purchase for access to exclusive new features. This pack is an extension of the “Power Pack,”it  which provides users with unlimited swipes, a boost (to maximize the visibility of your lives), a turbo (to make your profile more visible in swipes) and a spotlight (to highlight your profile by putting it at the top of other users screens) each week. On top of that, with the “Elite Pack”, users are now able to send DMs to other users before they become friends, appear first in swipes for anyone they like and have access to their swipe history.

NEW to Yubo: Elite Power Pack

We expanded our “Pixels” collections, with more than 313 pixels released this year. Launched in 2021, Pixels are collectible digital art representing characters, emotions or personalities that users can purchase within the app. Users can collect as many Pixels as they’d like to add on their profile or send as a gift to their friends. Each new collection is created in collaboration with artists from all over the world – from Ulises Mendicutty’s futurist pink portraits, Velvet Kid’s anime-inspired creations to Lili Bellons’ watercolor illustrations, this year has been rich in creation for Yubo. 

All of these paid features allow our users to personalize their profiles and diversify their app experience. Yubo plans to continue providing its users with valuable and creative offerings with amazing new partnerships to be revealed soon. 

We revamped our live feed. In order for our users to have a more tailored experience from a content perspective, our new feed has been designed this year to adapt to each specific user. The feed now takes into account what a user likes, who they are friends with or what they are looking for on Yubo. The layout has been redesigned, segmented into categories of interests scrollable horizontally, all while still being able to browse the next categories vertically.

The Lives with your friends are also now prioritized on the feed to help our users continue to build strong friendships by, for instance, participating in recurrent lives with people that share similar interests, passions or cultures.

We recently released new interactive lenses, available using Snap’s Camera Kit tool. In addition to more than 30 filters already integrated on the app, our users now have the possibility to play games and challenge their friends through interactive, exclusive and fun lenses. For example, Yubo recently introduced a filter game called “Pixel Muncher,” where the goal is to catch as many falling Pixels on the screen as possible with your opened mouth on camera. The biggest scorers win! In “Fish Frenzy,” you have to take your fish as far as possible by opening your mouth to make him swim slower or faster while avoiding obstacles in your way. The longer you hold, the higher your score will be. 

We’ve moved forward in integrating more product features and updates on Android. It’s now possible for our Android users to screenshare content during their Live, making the experience more engaging and participative. This has been highly requested by our users for a while as it allows them to share pictures, videos, music or any other content they want their new friends to relate to or experience with them. 

The new Live feed has also been implemented on Android, and iterations are still running to adapt the initial version to users’ needs and preferences. Early 2023, we will also integrate the YouTube player, already available on iOS, as a new exciting feature for our Android audience. 

Yubo's 2022 product updates recap

Yes, Yubo does not cost anything. It’s a free app to download from the Appstore or Google Pay Store. All Yubo’s main features are free to use.

One thing that makes Yubo unique when compared to other social apps, is our freemium model. We provide our users with the option to purchase bonus features to enhance their experience on the app, similar to what is often seen across gaming culture. Again, Yubo and all of its core features are completely free to use, but some users who want a bit more out of their Yubo experience might want some of the bonus features offered.

Is Yubo Free?

YuBucks are Yubo’s in-app currency that allow users to purchase things like Pixels and Boosts from our in-app store. There are a variety of YuBuck bundles users have the option to purchase, offering different quantities to better fit their wants. We noticed that our community often tops up their YuBucks balance quite often, so we introduced a YuBucks subscription which gives users 3,500 YuBucks every week at a discount rate. You cannot send YuBucks to other people, but you can send your friends Pixels!

Pixels are Yubo’s in-app digital collectables. At the time of writing this Yubo has released 13 editions of Pixels! Each new Pixel edition is done by a different artist that Yubo collaborates with in order to deliver fresh and amazing Pixels every time. Most Pixel collections are limited editions, which means that they are only available for a limited time. Others have made it to our Pixel Hall of Fame and are around forever. For example, the Zodiac Pixel collection will always be available because our users like sending friends their zodiac signs on their birthdays. And of course, there are other classics like Dabocado and Rhinomillion that we just don’t have the heart to get rid of.

You might be wondering, what does a Boost do on Yubo? Well, a Boost promotes the livestream you are in, making it more visible on the livestream page so other people are more likely to see it and join you and your friends. When our community tries to host games or funny conversations that pair better with a large audience, they will boost their live in order to get more engagement.

You have the option to do a single boost or you could go big and do a 30x boost! Other lives might be boosted as well, so it is good to know that the live with the most Boosts is the top live and the rest follow in Boost order. Many boosted lives going on at the same time may cause a Boost war, where users will try and out-boost other lives to claim first. But there's a catch (literally). Boosts only last for two minutes and then they expire. This is where the phrase, “catch the Boost” came from. If you hopped in a boosted live, you definitely heard it.

With the Power Pack you get a free Boost, Turbo, and Spotlight every week and unlimited swipes, plus the ability to see who swiped on you.

Spotlight puts your profile at the top of users home screens, making it easier than ever to form new connections. As soon as they click on your spotlighted profile, they can send you a message, so you better be ready to talk!

Turbo makes your profile a priority in the swipe section. After activating Turbo, your profile will be the first one to appear in everyone's swipes – talk about getting noticed. There are time options for Turbo as well. If you have the Power Pack or the Elite Pack, which we will get to next, you get a free Turbo every week that lasts five minutes. But, if you have some extra YuBucks lying around, you can use those to increase the time duration to up to two and a half hours! 

While the Power Pack is definitely powerful, a little pun intended, the Elite Pack is the all access pass to Yubo. Elite Pack owners get everything the Power Pack has to offer plus a few more features, like: sending messages before you become friends, appearing first in swipes to everyone you swipe right one, and being able to see your swipe history. 

Again, every core feature of Yubo is completely free. The Power Pack, Elite Pack, Pixels, and YuBucks are for those who are willing to spend a little to get more out of Yubo. Please enjoy our app responsibly. Occasionally, Yubo hosts fun “competitions” or giveaways on Instagram and Twitter where you can win awesome Pixels or even the Power or Elite Packs for free!

Yubo does not cost anything. It’s a free app to download from the Appstore or Google Pay Store. All Yubo’s main features are free to use. One thing that makes Yubo unique when compared to other social apps, is our freemium model. We provide our users with the option to purchase bonus features to enhance their experience on the app, similar to what is often seen across gaming culture. Follow the Yubo team as they present all the paid features that can enhance your Yubo experience.

Is Yubo free?

Despite both logos being yellow, Yubo is not affiliated with Snapchat and is its own live social discovery app for Gen Z. However, Yubo does have a partnership with Snapchat revolving around the Snapchat Camera Kit.

Yubo Origin Story

If you have spent time on the livestreaming section of Yubo, you might have noticed camera filters similar to ones on Snapchat. Again, Yubo is not connected to Snapchat, it just utilizes Snapchat’s Camera Kit – which is an AR tool that Snapchat provides for platforms to use! It allows platforms and creators to use Snapchat’s filter system and features in other apps. Snapchat is the social media hub of face filters - from ones that put fun little butterflies on your cheeks, to ones that completely warp your face. Snapchat filters have even begun dipping into augmented reality and filter-based games! Snapchat also has an open filter system, where practically anyone can create custom filters and upload them to Snapchat for others to use. Since Snapchat has become the mecca for face mobile app filters, they decided to share their technology through a Camera Kit. Livestreaming is a large part of how users interact on Yubo so it made sense to naturally integrate filters to make Lives more fun and comfortable. Instead of working from the ground up, Yubo partnered with Snapchat to use its already amazing technology to spice up livestreams with fun filters. That is why you will notice a small watermark that says “powered by Snapchat” when using them. In addition to the Camera Kit lenses, Yubo also creates its own filters and game filters to be used exclusively in the Yubo app! 

In fact, Yubo just debuted its first filter-based game, Pixel Muncher! In this game, Pixels, which are Yubo’s in-app digital collectables, fall from the sky, but so do spiked wrecking balls. The goal is to catch as many Pixels as you can without catching the wrecking balls. Players will also notice three hearts at the top of the screen, every time a player accidentally eats a wrecking ball, they lose a heart. If the player eats three wrecking balls, the game ends and shows them their score. After the player catches a certain amount of Pixels, the game gets faster and speeds up the rate at which they fall. Just like any other filter in the Yubo app, multiple people can play Pixel muncher at the same time. So don’t be surprised if you see a live with ten people on stage playing Pixel Muncher to see who gets the highest score.

Yubo added face filters to its livestreaming feature for two reasons. The first reason is simple: it's fun. With tons of filters for users to choose from there are endless livestreaming possibilities. Lives can be themed where everyone on camera is an alien or a Dorito chip - we don’t judge. Users are always trying to find new and funny filters to show their friends. The second reason is to help take the edge off of social anxiety. Some people are shy and don’t want to fully expose their face on camera, but still want to interact beyond being camera off. This is where filters can really help bridge that gap and make users more comfortable. With filters they can more confidently interact on screen with other users. Maybe all they need is a subtle filter that adds butterflies or flames to their cheeks, maybe they like using the Yubo-favored “big mouth” filter. Or perhaps they only want their eyes and mouth to be visible, so they lean towards the alien, sloth, or even banana filter.

Yubo’s Interactive Filters: Be what you want, when you want

Yubo is one of the few social media platforms that is actually “social”. When you think of social media, many platforms involve scrolling through carefully curated feeds or highly-edited content. While this format of course offers value in its own way, it tends to encourage more passive engagement and lead to parasocial relationships. Instead, Yubo focuses on creating an environment that allows for authentic interactions. Yubo users have the chance to talk with others in real time through Yubo’s signature livestreaming feature or share direct messages with others as well. 

Ultimately, Yubo saw the need to help create new connections, not just give them the tools to stay connected to people they already knew. While implementing filters might seem like a small step towards that goal or even an industry standard at this point, it is largely important to ensure every user has the tools they need to form new connections. Yubo is a stand alone app with industry leading safety technology and 60M users across the world. Yubo strives to be the leading live social discovery app for Gen Z and will continue to create genuine connections online.

We both have an amazing yellow logo and this seems to confuse some people. But Yubo is not affiliated with Snapchat and is its own live social discovery app for Gen Z. However, Yubo does have a partnership with Snapchat revolving around the Snapchat Camera Kit. The Yubo team is here to show you all its advantages!

Is Yubo connected to Snapchat?

What is Yubo?

Yubo, a live social discovery app, has grown quickly across the globe. But, why is that? What is this yellow app and more importantly, what is the purpose of Yubo?

Yubo, is an app created to make it easy for people to expand their social circles, make friends and socialize online with people from around the world. Founded in 2015, Yubo was created with one purpose in mind: to find friends. Eventually, we expanded into our own standalone app, one that allows our users to meet unique personalities from all over the world in a safe virtual environment. 

While the possibilities to form friendships on Yubo are endless, there are two core aspects of Yubo that help you find and create long lasting friendships: the livestreams and the swipes. 

You’re likely already aware of how swiping works, since it’s used across many different types of apps you may have already encountered. But in case you’re not, here’s exactly how it works on Yubo: a profile appears on your screen with a personalized bio, as many pictures and videos as a user wishes to add, emojis to showcase the person’s personality, tags that show specific interests, and of course, their display name. You’ll check out the profile and if you decide you’d like to add them as a friend or start a conversation, you’ll swipe right. If you don’t think your personalities will match well, then you swipe left. It’s as simple as that.

If you match, you can begin messaging each other, which as we know, can sometimes be the hardest part of making new friends. Getting those awkward icebreakers and how are you? is out of the way. Yubo will suggest a few options of openings for you, just simple ones, but it’s an easy click to get the conversation started. After that, it’s all up to you. Be sure to check out their profile to find out more about their interests to make for more exciting conversation.

What about if you’re looking for someone to discuss the latest episode of your favorite anime show with? Simply, add that interest tag to your profile and then search for others with that same tag! We refer to that as “add by tags” – it’s one of our users’ favorite systems for finding friends and makes starting conversations easy. But, if messaging one-on-one isn’t your thing, then jump into one of our thousands of livestreams!

In Yubo lives, you have the world to discover right at your fingertips. Any country, any language, any interest, just hop into a Yubo Live and start chatting. Lives range from one person to ten people streaming and can have an unlimited number of viewers. If you’re more comfortable talking with one person or small groups, there’s lives for that. If you’d rather be part of a large crowd watching different people display their talents, share hilarious stories or talk about their day, there’s lives for that. Yubo is all about what is comfortable to you, and what interests you. There is something for everyone. 

Huge movie buff? Join a Youtube watchparty on Yubo! Magician in training? Hop into a talent Live and practice your profession. Need to focus on homework? Start your own Live and put up a sign telling others to study with you! Wanting to discuss politics, but none of your IRL friends are interested? Join a debate Live (just make sure to keep it respectful)! 

We also offer a variety of in-app games while livestreaming such as would you rather, drawing quizzes, and more! They’re easy to do and a great way to introduce yourself to others, or to spend time playing with friends! And, even better, on our live streams we offer a wide selection of filters for you to use while on camera if you so chose. 

Most importantly, safety is at the core of every decision made at Yubo. We don’t collect your private information to use for targeted advertisements. All we ask is for a photo and birthdate for verification purposes with our new AI verification process. It’s easy and helps to ensure everyone you’re talking to on Yubo is the real deal. 

More than that, we have a vast moderation team and processes in place to keep your interactions on the app positive. But, you have control too. In the “muted words” section of your profile add words you’d rather not see in live or in your messages. And, if you come across a user not respecting the community guidelines or your own boundaries, you’re able to report them and our safety team will investigate it further and take appropriate action if necessary. 

What is Yubo used for?

We’ve all wondered it. Whether you’ve heard someone mention the app, come across it on social media, or seen it on the app store’s list of social networking apps. Before downloading, while looking at that bright yellow smile, you think:

It’s a social discovery app that utilizes swiping between profiles and live stream videos in order to meet new people from all over the world. And yes, it is just friends. 

There’s a whole Yuboverse to explore. On the live streaming side you can go live with up to 10 friends on camera or mic, and if that’s not enough, an infinite number of viewers can also be engaging in the comments section and joining in on the jokes you and your friends make live. Spend quality time with your friends by playing virtual games like charades or pictionary to get the icebreakers out of the way, or screensharing your phone to watch TikToks and funny videos with others who could use a good laugh.

Despite those features, the best part of Yubo is the people. In the lives, you truly won’t ever know what to expect. Dancing cosplayers, the cutest and funniest looking pets (yes, even snakes), soon-to-be comedians inviting viewers to their live “stage” one by one, and many other forever memories being made each day. Take your own time getting acclimated to the virtual live environment, and start small with solo streamer lives or hop into the biggest live and start commenting right away. That way, you’re putting yourself out there at your own pace.

Worried about not finding your friend group? Don’t be. There’s every type of personality on the Yubo App, and people are just as eager as you to meet new friends. It may take a few lives, a few messages, or even a few friend requests to find exactly who you connect with best, but eventually, like all our users, you’ll find it. 

If you’re not quite ready to hop into live streams, check out the swipes. Find profiles of users that match your interests and starting creating friendships right away. Or go to tags, your profile’s banners that showcase your favorite interests. Dying to discuss the new episodes of Stranger Things but none of your IRL friends have seen it? Click on the tag to find other Stranger Things enthusiasts, maybe they’ll even be able to give you some other recommendations. Making friends hasn’t been this easy since giving someone your pudding cup in first grade. 

Don’t have any pudding cups to give out? Try Pixels instead. They’re the Yubo App’s digital collectables meant to send as gifts to friends or collect them yourself! Bonus points for doing both. For every new Pixel collection, we work with an artist who creates a series of fun, unique, funky and fresh characters that combine the energy of Yubo with the true style of the artist. 

Pixels are just one of the many aspects of Yubo that allow our users to develop more meaningful connections with each other. If you’re celebrating your birthday with Yubo, get ready to receive your zodiac sign Pixel, which is way better than the classic birthday post. But, stay alert, there are a lot of Pixel fiends on Yubo and you may even become one too. Can you collect them all?

Yubo emphasizes the social aspect of being a social media app. There’s no feed to post carefully curated moments or likes to compare popularity through numbers. On Yubo, life is live. You can put forth the real you and feel accepted by millions of other users searching for that same level of friendship. The Yuboverse is wide, and there’s a piece of it waiting for you.

No, we’re a friendship app. Yubo’s features are designed for small group interactions, just like hanging out with your friends. We don’t encourage meeting in real life to prioritize the safety of you and all of our users. Yubo is designed for friendship and friendship only.

Well, Yubo was originally Yellow (shoutout to our users who’ve been with us since Yellow). You may even remember that. Yellow was a Snapchat companion app that would help you find new friends on Snapchat. Everyday, Yellow would randomly pair you up with another person, and you would take the conversation from there, possibly creating a new beautiful friendship in the process. Since the days of Yellow, our core values still remain the same: we want to connect people virtually and give them a place to socialize in a real way – as real as they would in real life. Since then, we have come a long way and created a truly unique user experience with community at its center. Why did Yellow change its name to Yubo? We actually allowed the community to decide! We hosted a vote asking our users what name they think we should take on for the next iteration of the app, and Yubo was the final verdict!

Even better, stream Youtube into your live directly from the Yubo App! Fill your own silence and help others fill theirs as well. 

The Debater: We know your type well on Yubo. No matter the hour, you’ll always be able to find a debate live to hop into.

The Gamer or Anime Lover: Tired of gamers being grouped in with anime? Don’t worry, the Yubo App separates these into two separate categories of lives. Users hosting lives about gaming or anime can be found in dedicated tabs to help you ensure you find your kind of people that you can weeb out with. 

The User Who Isn’t Into Lives: Don’t worry there’s room on Yubo for you too! Head over to our swipes tab and start matching with friends! Maybe you’ll even find a friend group that makes you love lives. 

Discover with us the essence of Yubo where you can chat, play games and share your passions! Livestreams are where all the fun happens on Yubo, so follow us in an introduction to the different types of Yubo streamers. And maybe you'll recognize yourself in one of them!

Tips and Tricks On How To Make the Most Out of Yubo Lives

At Yubo, we’ve been focusing on building a place for Gen Z to make meaningful connections and have fulfilling conversations. That’s why we’ve been busy building features that help new users easily make groups of friends with common interests. More specifically, we want to encourage new users to express their hobbies and interests in their profiles and also explain that joining a live for the first time isn’t as high-stakes or intimidating as it may seem. 

Adding Tags at Sign-up = A More Personalized User Experience 

Users add tags to their profiles to show their new friends the latest topics that they’re keen to chat about. To make sure new users start off with plenty to discuss, we’ve included the tags feature in the account creation flow. In order for them to find the right tags to add to their profile, new categories have been launched– making it easier than ever to find everything from your favorite show or your favorite hobby. Already, this feature has been adopted by 65 percent of new users! 

We want our users to make friends with common interests, so it will now be possible to add friends by tags too! This new feature is super easy to access. Now, user’s top tags will appear directly in their “friends” tab so that all they need to do is click on them to find their future friends. 

This feature will also be available directly from users’ profiles. If a user comes across a profile with a  tag that interests them, they can click on it to find other users who share that interest. This feature is going to help users make valuable new connections and meaningful friendships. Not to mention that sharing the same interests is the perfect ice-breaking to start a new friendship! 

We Know Going Live can be Scary: So Let’s do a Test Run First 

Yubo is for all personality types,  from type A extroverts to the painfully shy. And no matter where someone falls on that spectrum, joining a live for the first time can seem intimidating. That’s why we added a new onboarding step that will differentiate between a watcher and a  streamer, and show users that they can join a livestream with their microphones and camera turned off. We hope that this improvement will show every user that they can socialize on Live without barriers, no matter what their comfort level is.

In Yubo's newest product update, we've added two new features: Adding friends by tag, and a Live test run when you create your account. We hope these new features will encourage new users to express their hobbies and interests in their profiles and also explain that joining a live for the first time isn’t as high-stakes or intimidating as it may seem. Adding friends by tag will enable users to make friends with common interests, and to show their new friends the latest topics they are looking to connect about.

Yubo Launches New Features: Add Friends by Tag

The Gen Z social network app expands its sustainable freemium business model protecting user data

Yubo, the leading platform for young people to socialise online, today announces the launch of YuBucks, a virtual online currency. This new paid feature is part of the development of the social network's unique business model that monetises through sustainable social commerce rather than selling its users' data.

In mid-July, Yubo will also be launching another new paid-for feature: Pixels. Yubo has collaborated with the Pixel artist Banfan to create collectible digital art representing qualities, moods, and personalities. Yubo users will be able to purchase these in-app and can start their own collection, send it to their friends and send it to people they admire on the app, for example, their favorite streamers.

Yubo - Introducing Pixels

Founded in 2015, Yubo’s mission is to enable Gen Z to make genuine friendships online and is completely influencer free and like-free. By moving away from the traditional social network business model, Yubo’s users are able to more easily connect with each other without the pressure of likes. 

Sacha Lazimi, Co-founder and CEO of Yubo, said “The launch of YuBucks and upcoming launch of Pixels, is another step forward in strengthening our unique business model that montezises through social commerce as well as enhances the in-app experience for our users. 

Our freemium business models allow us to keep our users' data safe and protected, which is a top priority for us and our users. We are carving a new path in social media - at Yubo, we believe you shouldn't have to sell your personal data in order to enjoy and experience a platform.”

The addition of YuBucks creates a more seamless experience for users as they can purchase any paid-for feature in-app without having to repeat the payment process. As a result, users waste less time on microtransactions and can fully enjoy their experience on Yubo.

Yubucks will also facilitate the prize or reward system at events organised in the application. Users will be able to win prizes in YuBucks and be free to choose which paid feature they prefer and wish to obtain.

Yubo's Take

Here for all of it.
