Although the app has been around since 2015, the hype didn't start until February 2018. Many celebrities and influencers have drawn attention to Vero through Instagram. But what can you actually do with this app that other social media platforms don't offer? We summarize the functions for you in our article:

What's new compared to other apps like Instagram, Facebook & Snapchat?

  • In Vero you can share a wider range of media than in the established apps. In addition to photos and videos , you can also post links , music , movies , books or places .
  • There are no advertisements or sponsored posts from companies. Instead, Vero would like to finance itself in the future through an annual fee from its users.
  • The newsfeed is arranged purely chronologically . For your own posts , you can set which group of people can see them (close friends, friends, acquaintances or followers).
  • Because the app does not follow an algorithm , according to the operators of the app, no other data is saved except for your name, your email address and your telephone numbers . Some users criticize the fact that the telephone number has to be given when registering. Vero argues that the number is necessary for verification and connecting with friends.
  • Influencers (people who use social networks for work and have many thousands of followers) can still post articles with product placements and earn money as a result .
