/ · · Product
We created Yik Yak to help you connect with the people right around you, whether you know them or not. Whether it’s a partner to tackle that impossible chem set with or just a crew to hang with, having authentic connections with the people right around you is a key part of feeling at home in your community. Since the start, we’ve been building Yik Yak to help empower these local connections – and today, we’re adding a bunch of features (and giving the app a fresh new look!) to match your fresh new start to the school year. Let’s take a quick tour!

Introducing Profiles
/ · · Product
How many times have you come across a truly laugh-out-loud yak and wished you knew more about the witty Yakker who posted it? Noticed someone in your community who consistently shares spot-on tips for the best grub in town and wanted to know more about your fellow foodie neighbor?
From the beginning, our goal has always been to help you connect with the people around you, whether you know them or not. As your herds have grown, we’ve been adding features like handles and chat to help you build even more tightly-knit communities.
Today, we’re excited to introduce our newest feature – profiles! – as yet another way to help you develop great local connections.

Yik Yak is all about helping Yakkers discover and create local connections within their community. We’ve seen Yakkers come together to do awesome things like giving back to a beloved campus employee and finding help for wounded campus wildlife, and we absolutely love it when communities unite like this. That’s why we introduced handles last month; to help communities feel even closer and more connected.
What comes next is even cooler. Today, we’re excited to announce that we’re adding chat to Yik Yak so that users who’ve posted with a handle can talk individually with other Yakkers in their local herd.

With Yik Yak, you can have these conversations with anyone and everyone in your herd, whether you know them or not – but now, we’re introducing a new way for you to also establish your unique voice in your community.
Today, we're introducing handles on Yik Yak.
