Yo Update Intros Links, Hashtags, Profile Photos, and More
The ultra-simple simple Yo messaging app, the one that raised $1 million back in June, the one that was also hacked back in June, has been updated. The updated version introduces links, hashtags, profile photos, and more.
“We are very excited about our new release of the Yo app. We hope this will help you and users everywhere communicate more with the things they care about. This version shows the real power of the Yo platform which is, at its most basic, a 2-way communication platform between people, websites, brands, businesses and virtually anything that can connect to the internet,” said the Yo team.
Yo is an incredibly simple messaging app that became an instant phenomenon this summer. The app, in case you’re not familiar with it, works like this: send out a “Yo” as text and as a high-pitched audio notification to any of your friends. With a simple tap on your smartphone’s screen you can send out a Yo message to any of your friends.
The news is that the Yo app has been updated. iOS and Android users can enjoy the following new features:
Yo for iOS is available for download on Apple’s App Store.
Yo for Android is available for download on Google’s Play Store.
The Yo app is also available for Windows Phone. But the Windows Phone app has not been updated.
Yo for Windows Phone is available for download on the Windows Phone Store.
