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 Chat
/ · · Product
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.

Yik Yak is all about building location-based communities to make the world feel small again — and this means helping you develop real, authentic connections with the people around you.

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.
