What is YOLLO?

YOLLO stands for You Live "Life" Only Once. YOLLO is a new kind of social networking app built for real-time connection with your real-life friends. It’s fast, fun, unfiltered, and all about now. Instead of endless timelines or old posts, YOLLO shows you what your friends are doing in the moment through quick, time-limited photo updates called YOLLO Moments.📾 Your content doesn’t live forever—it lasts only as long as your friends engage with it. The more they interact, the more it trends, making it easier for you to spot what’s trending at the moment.đŸ”„ Once the moment’s over, it fades, just like in real life. YOLLO makes social networking feel social again.❀

Where can I find the YOLLO App?

YOLLO: Live in the moment is available in beta version on Google Play Store for Android users. For iOS users, you can currently download the YOLLO app through TestFlight. We are launching soon!

Is YOLLO free?

Yes, YOLLO is absolutely free and on top of that, we give you back the worth of your time spent on the app, with in-app rewards đŸ„ł. You will never be found wasting time on YOLLO.

What are Active posts?

Active posts are the YOLLO Moments still buzzing with your friends - fresh, relevant, and trending. They stay alive while friends engage and the YOLLO trend-timer ⏳ is still ticking. On YOLLO, only active posts show up in your feed, so you never see old or outdated content. Every day is a fresh start - your past doesn’t define your now.

How many pictures can I add in one post?

Yes! You can create a carousel post with up to 3 images. Users can swipe through them within a single post.

Can I customize my YOLLO posts with filters and text?

Yes! Just go to your post, tap the “...” menu in the bottom right corner, select “Edit Post,” pick your editing tools, and update your post. You can also do it before posting by tapping the edit icon in the center, then customize your post before it goes live.

What is the YOLLO feed?

We’ve all seen endless news feeds and boring chronological feeds - but the YOLLO Feed is different. Here, you decide how long a post stays trending and when it disappears. Yep, you’re the algorithm god now. Your feed only shows what’s fresh, relevant, and happening in the moment, so you’ll always know what your friends (and the world) are up to right now. Every day is a clean slate - no past posts creeping back, no pressure, no curated nonsense. Just you in control of what matters.

What is YOLLO Search 🔍?

For Gen Z, social apps have basically become the new search engines - but they’re full of outdated results. Think last year’s restaurant, a recipe trend from months ago, or some old celebrity breakup pretending to be “new.” Annoying, right? Not on YOLLO. With YOLLO Search, you only get the latest, trending results through Active posts. That means you always know what’s actually happening now - what’s fresh& relevant, and whatever is cheugy is left behind. 100% real moments, straight from you and your besties.

What is the best-24 on YOLLO?

When Active posts run out of time on the YOLLO trend-timer, they’re saved in your private YOLLO Memories calendar. The top 24 expired posts then show up on your profile as your Best-24 - like a sneak peek into your YOLLO life. Best-24 stay dynamic and update as you post new YOLLO moments. Also, as the posts have expired, no one can like or comment on them - so no awkward late likes or comments, no trolls or creeps messing with your vibe.

What are YOLLO Minutes?

At YOLLO, we believe time is your most valuable connection. Every minute with friends should feel real, not wasted - that’s why we created YOLLO Minutes. You earn Minutes by being present: sharing moments, engaging with friends, or just showing up for your crew. You can use your Minutes to keep your moments active, support your friends, or highlight the ones that matter most. Instead of feeling guilty for being online, YOLLO helps you invest your time where it counts - in your relationships.

What is the YOLLO Boost where users add extra time? Can I Boost any post?

What is the YOLLO trend-timer ⏳?

Each YOLLO moment has a trend-timer⏳that shows how much time is left on each post, showing how much longer it’ll stay visible. The more the engagement on your post, the higher the trend-timer goes and the trendier you get. Add more time to reach a bigger audience, catch your crush’s attention, or show love to your bestie.

Can I also boost my own post on YOLLO?

Absolutely. With YOLLO Minutes, you can boost your own posts and your confidence - no validation needed from anyone else. YOLLO is all about keeping control in your hands.

What happens when my post timer runs out?

When the timer hits zero, your post disappears from the feed and moves into your private Memories for you to revisit whenever you like. If the moment feels relevant again or you want to spark a fresh conversation, just repost it and keep the vibes rolling.

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

On YOLLO, every post has a limited life. But the more your friends engage, the longer it stays alive. Each like adds +10 seconds, every view adds +10 seconds, and every comment or reply adds +10 seconds to your post’s trend-timer. More engagement = more trend time đŸ€©.

Do replies to comments also increase my post trend time?

Absolutely! Just like comments, every reply adds +10 seconds to your post’s trend-timer, keeping it alive longer.

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

No. Once the timer hits zero, your post is no longer accessible to others and moves into your Private Memories Calendar. If you want, you can reshare it using the repost button on the right-hand corner of your expired posts.

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

Tired of rude comments on your posts? Most of the time, all you can do is block, report, and they just come back with a new account and fake name. However, on YOLLO, you can troll the troller! Delete mean comments but keep their timestamp, making your post trend even more. The more they troll, the trendier you get—turning their negativity into your popularity! Trollers? They’re just your new fans, pushing you toward the next big trend!😍

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

YOLLO Memories are your saved or archived posts, stories, or moments from the past. It’s like your personal journal of past expired YOLLO posts. Go to your profile and tap the “Calendar” tab icon on the right hand corner. You’ll see all your content organized by date for you to savour whenever you like.

Why YOLLO and who built it?

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.
