Yope photo-sharing app gains traction among Gen Z with 2.2 million users

Yope, a new photo-sharing app launched in September 2024, has gained popularity among Gen Z, with 2.2 million monthly active users. It combines features of Instagram and group chats, allowing users to share photos within small groups. The app allows users to create groups, sync contacts, and post pictures, but its appeal may be limited for those without friends on the platform. Users can respond to photos without sending their own, creating a chat-like experience. While Yope is easy to set up and free to use, it may become boring without a larger group of friends. Its unique focus on private sharing could attract more users, but it may not appeal to everyone.
