Social Networking App

Hype

Hype is a chat service built into a mobile browser that allows users to easily set up an account and chat instantly with secure end-to-end encryption. The app was developed for Africans to give them new ways to express themselves. It lets them browse the web, chat with friends, and share self-created memes and stickers with other Hype users. The app offers a range of sticker packs created by African artists such as Musonda Kabwe from South Africa and Jonathan Agyei-Peprah from Ghana, featuring everyday expressions currently popular in sub-Saharan Africa.
