What is Yubo: Make friends & chat now?

The Social Network for Gen Z

Yubo (formerly known as Yellow) is a social discovery app built almost entirely for teenagers and young adults. Instead of focusing on follower counts or 'Likes' like Instagram, Yubo is designed to help you socialize in real-time and make new friends globally.

Swiping and Live Streaming

The app combines swipe-based discovery with live social rooms. First, you can 'swipe' left or right on profiles to find friends with similar interests, similar to Tinder. Second, it features a heavy emphasis on Live Streaming. Users can host or join video chat rooms with up to 10 people on camera at once, while an unlimited number of viewers can type in the chat.

Safety and Age Segregation

Because its user base is predominantly young, Yubo has implemented some of the strictest safety measures in the industry. The app uses facial recognition to estimate a user's age and requires ID verification if the AI detects a discrepancy. Furthermore, users are strictly segregated by age (e.g., 13-17 year olds cannot interact with adults over 18).

Yubo Premium

Yubo uses a freemium model. Buying 'YuBucks' or subscribing to a premium 'Power Pack' allows users to boost their live streams, see who swiped right on them, and send special gifts.

Yubo: Make friends & chat now — FAQ

How does Yubo work for meeting people?
Yubo is an 18+ social discovery app rather than a dating service. Members build a profile, add interests, browse people in Swipe, chat after connecting, react to profile content, and join Live video rooms. The app is designed for friendship and real-time social interaction; a connection or verification badge does not guarantee compatibility or safe conduct.
Is Yubo free to use and chat?
Yubo can be downloaded and used for core discovery, connections, chat, and joining Lives without a subscription, but optional paid plans and feature purchases add visibility or convenience. Free limits and paid benefits can change by account, platform, and country. Check the current purchase screen instead of relying on an old price or feature list.
What is the current age limit for Yubo?
Yubo is currently an adults-only platform and requires users to be at least 18. Older articles and reviews may still describe separate teen communities because the product changed in 2025. Use the current official terms and app listing, not historical screenshots, and report an account if you believe the person is underage.
How does Yubo age and identity verification work?
Every Yubo user completes age verification with a live selfie analyzed by Yoti's age-estimation technology. If the result is unclear or inconsistent, Yubo may request an identity document and another live image for review. A separate yellow Verified badge can involve optional official-ID confirmation. Verification reduces misrepresentation but is not a guarantee of behavior.
Is Yubo safe to use?
Yubo uses age checks, profile review, automated and human moderation, real-time Live monitoring, blocking, and confidential reporting. These safeguards reduce risk but cannot prevent every scam or harmful interaction. Never send money or private codes, limit personal details, leave uncomfortable Lives, meet only in public with your own transport, and report suspicious accounts.
How do Yubo Live rooms work?
Lives are real-time video rooms where members can talk, play games, or watch a group conversation. You can first join as a watcher with microphone and camera off, then request to participate. Lives are moderated and subject to the Community Guidelines, but they are still public social spaces, so avoid sharing private information or content you would not want recorded.
How does Yubo Swipe work?
Swipe shows profiles based on the preferences available in Settings, such as gender, age range, and country. Swiping right expresses interest and can lead to a connection when the other person accepts or connects back; the exact prompts may vary by version. A profile can also be hidden from Swipes, and location visibility can be reduced or disabled.
How many Yubo Swipes can I use per day?
Yubo does not publish one permanent worldwide daily Swipe number in its current public FAQ. Limits may vary by account, experiment, region, or paid plan and can change without notice. The counter or upgrade screen in your account is the reliable current source. Avoid third-party tools that claim to bypass limits because they can compromise the account.
What do Yubo subscriptions cost and include?
Yubo offers optional subscriptions and purchases whose names, benefits, billing periods, and prices can differ by platform and country. They may add discovery, visibility, or convenience rather than being required for basic social use. Review the exact live offer, renewal date, and store cancellation terms before paying; do not quote a price from another user's region.
How do I delete my Yubo account and cancel a subscription?
Use the delete-account option in Yubo Settings and follow the confirmation steps. Cancel any recurring purchase separately through Apple, Google Play, or the provider that billed you; removing the app does not stop renewal. If you cannot access the account, use official Yubo support. Download any information you need before deletion because recovery may not be available.
