India’s indigenous microblogging platform Koo announced the launch of four unique new features, enabling users to upload 10 profile pictures, save a Koo, schedule Koos and save drafts.
Koo recently clocked 50 million downloads, making it the second largest microblog available to the world.
Koo is based on a language-first approach; it pioneered language-based microblogging, connecting 80 per cent of the world’s population who speak a native language.
Features like Multi-Language Kooing (MLK), translation ability, a language-enabled keyboard, topics in 10 languages, language translations, edit functionality, multiple profile pictures, up to 10 image uploads, longer video uploads and voluntary self-verification, make the platform unique.
“We are very happy to announce new features to millions of our users. Some of these are firsts in the social space. We are the first ones to enable users to upload up to 10 profile pictures,” Koo co-founder Mayank Bidawatka said.
“We have made it extremely easy for power creators to now save a draft and schedule Koos for a future date and time. Users have taken well to these features. We are happy to have crossed the 50 million user mark on the back of these enriching features,” said.
New features of KOO:
10 Profile Pictures:
Users can now upload up to 10 profile pictures. These pictures auto-play when someone visits the user’s profile. It’s easy to change the sequence of these pictures with drag-and-drop functionality.
Schedule a Koo:
Power creators can now schedule a Koo for a future date and time. This makes it easy for creators who like to pen down multiple thoughts in one go but schedule them for different times to avoid crowding the feeds of their followers. Users can also edit or reschedule a scheduled Koo.
Save Drafts:
Creators that want to keep working on a draft before posting it can use the save drafts functionality. It gives them the freedom to keep making edits before posting.
Save a Koo:
Users can now save a Koo as Instagram instead of the usual reactions such as Like, Comment, Re-Koo or Share. Saved Koos are visible to the user only and available on their profile page. This is useful for users who want to refer to their favourite or important Koos without having to react to the Koo.
