The Koo app is the Indian alternative to Twitter micro-blogging, all you need to know.
The Koo app was developed and grown entirely in India and is considered an Indian alternative to Twitter.
The Koo app has been trending on Twitter for a few days. Many Indian personalities, such as Union Minister Piyush Goyal and others, have tweeted about using the micro-blogging platform to share information.
For those of you who don't know, the Koo app was developed and developed entirely in India. Due to disagreements between Twitter and the Indian government, many users see the Koo app as the Twitter alternative they can switch to.
The government asked Twitter to remove more than 1,000 accounts that spread misinformation about farmers' protests. When Twitter took no action against specific accounts, it created a struggle between the government and the world's largest micro blogging platform - more details on the story to come.
Micro blogging Koo app key features
Koo is a micro blogging platform like Twitter. The app was launched last year and won the Digital India Aatma Nirbhar Bharat Innovate Challenge. People can use this app to share their ideas in the local language. Since only a small percentage of India speaks English, millions of Indians have to communicate in their regional language. The Koo app is here to fill this market gap.
The application can be downloaded on iOS and Android devices. It allows users to view and follow other accounts on the platform and browse through a content source such as Twitter. Users can also share content in video and audio formats. Messages can be up to 400 characters long and are called "Koo" just like a Twitter message is called "Tweet".
Users will need to set up their account before they can share or follow other accounts on the platform. Setting up the profile is a very easy thing to do within Koo and users can also choose to show or hide their personal information in the profile. There is also a "bio" section where users can write something about themselves.
