Question 1

What is YOLLO?

Accepted Answer

YOLLO stands for You Live “Life” Only Once.

It’s a social app for sharing your day with your friends - while it’s actually happening.

You post quick photo updates called YOLLO Moments 📸

When you post, a countdown starts. Every reaction adds more time - so you and your friends keep replying, laughing, and checking back in just to keep the moment alive 🔥

Like trying to save one horrible bathroom selfie at 2 AM for 10 more minutes 💀

Your photos stay alive as long as people keep reacting. The second everyone moves on, they disappear into your private memories.

Just like real life - you talk, react, laugh, keep it going for no reason… then move onto the next thing.

Question 2

Where can I find the YOLLO App?

Accepted Answer

YOLLO: Live in the moment is available currently only in US. For iOS users, you can currently download the YOLLO app on the Apple playstore. The YOLLO app is available in beta version on Google Play Store for Android users.

Question 3

Is YOLLO free?

Question 4

What are Active posts?

Accepted Answer

Active Posts are YOLLO Moments still buzzing with friends - fresh, relevant, and trending 🔥

They stay alive while friends keep reacting and hyping up your post, with more time getting added to the countdown ⏳

The second everyone moves on, the moment disappears into your private memories.

On YOLLO, only active posts show up in your feed - no old or outdated content hanging around forever.

Every day feels like a fresh start - your past doesn’t define your present.

Question 5

How many pictures can I add in one post?

Already posted it? Tap the “...” menu on your post, select “Edit Post,” and make your changes anytime.

Question 7

What is the YOLLO feed?

Accepted Answer

The YOLLO Feed is different. No endless scrolling. No boring chronological timelines. Here, you control the moment - deciding how long a post stays alive and when it disappears. Yep, you’re basically the algorithm god ⏳

Your feed shows only what’s fresh, relevant, and buzzing right now - so you always know what your friends (and the world) are up to. Every day is a clean slate - no past posts creeping back, no pressure, no curated nonsense. Just you, in control of your feed and the hype.

Question 8

What is YOLLO Search 🔍?

Accepted Answer

For Gen Z, social apps have basically become the new search engines - but most results are old, outdated, and already irrelevant.

Like last year’s restaurant trend, a recipe from months ago, or some celebrity drama pretending to still be “new” 😭

With YOLLO Search, you only see Active Posts - so results are always fresh, trending, and happening right now 🔥

No outdated posts.
No dead trends.
No cheugy leftovers.

Just real moments from real people - while they’re actually happening.

Question 9

What is the best-24 on YOLLO?

Accepted Answer

When Active Posts run out of time, they’re saved in your private YOLLO Memories calendar 📸

Your Best-24 is a dynamic showcase of your top 24 expired moments - a sneak peek into your YOLLO life.

It updates as you post new moments, so it always stays fresh.

Since these posts have already expired, there are no late likes, comments, or reactions - no trolls, no noise.

Just your most vibrant moments, always fresh on display.

When your timer hits zero, the post disappears from the feed and moves to your private Memories 📸

You can revisit it anytime - and if the moment feels relevant again, you can always repost it and bring the vibes back 🔥

Question 15

How do likes, views, and comments extend my post trend time?

Accepted Answer

On YOLLO, every post starts with a limited life, and the countdown begins the moment you post ⏳

Every like, view, comment, and reply adds +10 seconds to your trend timer, keeping your moment alive longer 🔥

Friends can also use their YOLLO Coins to add extra time and hype up your post.

More hype = more time on the feed 🤩

When the hype slows down, the timer keeps ticking down until it hits zero and the post fades away.

That's how moments live on YOLLO: relevant, real, and happening right now. 🔥

Question 16

Do replies to comments also increase my post trend time?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Every reply adds +10 seconds to your countdown timer ⏳

So the more you and your friends keep replying, reacting, and hyping up the post, the longer it stays alive 🔥

Question 17

Can my friends comment, like, view or increase the time of my expired post?

Accepted Answer

Nope! Once the timer hits zero, your post is gone from everyone else’s feed and moves into your Private Memories Calendar.

Want to bring it back? Just hit the repost button on the corner of your expired post and let everyone hype it up all over again!

Question 18

How do you convert a troller into your biggest fan on YOLLO?

Accepted Answer

Tired of rude comments on your posts? Most of the time, all you can do is block or report - but they just come back with a new account and a fake name.

On YOLLO, you can troll the troller! Delete mean comments but keep their timestamp - and watch your post trend even more. The more they troll, the trendier you get.

Their negativity? Just extra hype pushing you toward your next big trend! Trollers? They’re basically your new fans 😍

Question 19

Where do my expired posts go and who can see them?

Accepted Answer

Expired posts are saved in your YOLLO Memories - your personal archive of past YOLLO Moments 📸

To view them, go to your profile and tap the Calendar tab in the top right corner. Your memories are organized by date, so you can revisit them anytime.

Only you can see your YOLLO Memories unless you choose to repost them again.

Your moments stay private, and you stay in control of who sees them.

Question 28

Why YOLLO and who built it?

Accepted Answer

YOLLO is built by students, friends - people just like you - who understand what it’s like to feel lonely in a crowd, to want to connect but feel unseen, and to navigate the messy ups and downs of real life. We know what it’s like to ghost friends we care about, feel jealous, exhausted, or left out, yet still want a way to show up and stay connected. That’s why YOLLO feels different - real conversations, real moments, and a space where human connections actually matters, just like real life.
