Yay! is a popular and secure social networking app built for people who want to connect based on shared hobbies, interests, and age groups. With over 8 million users, Yay! makes it easy to find someone to chat with, study with, play games with, or simply pass the time.
Circles – Join Groups Based on Interests
Find or create groups related to your favorite hobbies, such as anime, games, studying, sports, idols, or even just for sharing daily worries. These Circles are great for building small communities where you can belong.
Chat & Messaging
Start one-on-one text chats with new friends or send pictures to share your day. You’ll need to interact at least five times with someone before calling them, which helps keep unwanted calls away and interactions safe.
Free Time Chat (“Hima Now”)
Feeling bored? Tap the "Hima Now" button to instantly see others who are also looking for someone to talk to. It’s a fun and spontaneous way to meet new people outside your regular circles or followers.
Individual & Open Voice Calls
Yay! offers two types of voice calls:
· Individual Calls: Private 1:1 calls available after some interaction for safety.
· Anyone Can Call (Dare Tsuu): Post in public spaces or circles and wait for others to join your voice chat session. Perfect for talking while gaming, drawing, or studying!
