Hiwe is a new social media app that aims to bring back the personal connections of chatting from the 1990s. On Hiwe, users can create "memos" which are photos or videos with captions to start conversations. Unlike other platforms, the number of followers a user has does not affect the popularity of their memos. Users can chat with anyone on Hiwe and make global connections without constraints of social groups. The app also features separate feeds for people a user follows and random memos to explore conversations more widely. Privacy and security of chats are prioritized on Hiwe unlike some other platforms.
