You can anonymously post about just about anything, and it\u2019s viewable by any other Yik Yak users within a five-mile radius. You can also read and reply to other users\u2019 messages, creating an anonymous party that everyone is sure to want to take part in.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if the internet has taught us anything, it\u2019s that anonymity doesn\u2019t always bring out the best in people, and the previous life of Yik Yak was no exception.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We aren\u2019t showing up at the top the results in the App Store, so use the link in our bio to easily find Yik Yak.

I live in a medium city, so I did have a couple of posts from other users around me already, but if you live in a rural area, the app will probably be useless for you.<\/p>\n<p>While using the app is\u00a0anonymous, you will need to verify that you\u2019re human with a phone number, which definitely makes it feel like a less faceless experience. There\u2019s also a brief tutorial that breaks down the Yik Yak rules that you\u2019ll have to run through before you can enjoy the app and what it brings to the table.<\/p>\n<p>Yik Yak has lots of community guidelines available on its <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/yikyak.com\/community-guardrails\">website<\/a>. These include not identifying people, not posting personal information, no bullying, and so on. Whether users will follow these guidelines remains to be seen, of course.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yik_Yak_Availablity\"><\/span>Yik Yak Availablity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Currently, Yik Yak is only available for users in the United States on iPhone.
