What is YUBO?

Yubo (formerly Yellow) is a location-based social media app for teenagers to connect with other young people in their local area. Users can connect with new friends by swiping right on their pictures. If both users accept, they are matched and can become friends and start interacting. Live streaming is a core feature of Yubo, which lets up to 10 users create a group live stream that can be viewed by an unlimited number of viewers, who can send comments to interact with the streamers. Yubo is for ages 13 years and above and requires multi-factor age authentication plus parental permission for anyone aged 13-17 years.
