Overview & Feature Analysis
Next-generation social media app
There are tons of
social network
platforms available in the market today, but most will often serve you with lots of targeted ads.
MeWe
is a free
social
application created to address such an issue. This app gives its users a platform where they are
free to share
their views without being spammed with advertising. It also provides users
total control and full ownership
of their contents and data—something that has been an ongoing issue with social media apps these days.

What MeWe offers
MeWe works just like any other
social media
app, with features like a timeline, chats, groups, and events. It even includes an
8GB free cloud storage
for your data. Like
, it allows you to share posts and upload videos and photos to your timeline or wall. You are also allowed to add people as your friends and see their posts and comment on them. However, what separates it from the popular social app is that it allows you to
create a special timeline
for your close friends.
With this, you can easily see their posts and comment on them. More than a customized newsfeed, this app also allows users to
connect with other users
and interact directly with them—in a group of two or more people, or an open community forum
formed around your shared interests. The app has
thousands of open groups
built around any interests. You can even create one if there is no forum about your interests.
The app's developers describe the app as a next-generation platform. The app has no
facial recognition
, as well as no newsfeed and content manipulation. Plus, it lets you see every post, comment, and chat in a true timeline order. However, there are still some usability issues that you need to consider. The app
consistently lags
, some chats fail to load, and uploaded photos often glitch out. Long-time Facebook users may also need to adjust as there is a bit of a difference in the navigation.
New social network alternative
MeWe basically offers the same thing as the other social network platforms of the past. It lets you share your experiences and thoughts through texts, photos, and videos and follow anyone to see theirs. However, there are a
few innovative features
, such as a customized newsfeed, that sets it apart from the usual app. Moreover, it
frees users from targeted ads
, so they can browse their timelines without seeing brands that they don’t even follow.
