Although there are various social platforms, currently commonly used Facebook, Instagram, etc. can allow people all over the world to get to know you. Whether you are acquaintances or strangers, you can conduct social activities through the Internet. This may be a little troublesome for people who only want to communicate with friends and family they really know. The newly launched “HalloApp” claims to be the first true social relationship application, allowing you to communicate only with people you know.

A new private social platform “HalloApp” is launched, focusing on relatives and friends in real life
Over the years, many social platforms for friends and family have appeared, but most of them ended in disgrace. The latest “HalloApp” to be launched was developed by two early employees of Whatsapp, Neeraj Arora and Michael Donohue. Of course, there are some similarities between the two. HalloApp is specially designed for friends, family or personal chat. Users can find each other simply by phone number, and the conversations between each other are encrypted and there are no ads in the entire application.

The HalloApp application is mainly divided into four tabs, which are the homepage for displaying friends’ posts, group chat, personal chat and settings. The overall function is very simple and not large in scale. There is no algorithm used to sort posts or group chat content. The company wrote about the idea behind HalloApp in a blog, saying that the app is an answer to traditional social platforms that focus on participation. Imagine that the dynamic posts you view are free of people and content you don’t care about. You view meaningful moments and content you want to see, not what the algorithm wants you to see.

Currently, the app is completely free when it is first launched. Eventually, HalloApp plans to charge users a subscription fee, adopting the profit model of Whatsapp before it was acquired by Facebook.
