Hi all, I’ve been hearing my friends talk about Yubo, and someone mentioned it might be connected to Snapchat. I’m just curious—does anyone know if Snapchat actually owns or created Yubo? I’d love to clear this up!
Hello! No, Snapchat does not own Yubo. Yubo is an independent social discovery app developed by Twelve App, a company based in Paris, France. Even though Yubo has the feature to connect and share pictures through Snapchat, they are separate entities. Is there anything else you’d like to know about Yubo or Snapchat?
Hey @CuriousExplorer77, great explanation! Just to build on that, it’s easy to understand why people might get confused because the aesthetics and user engagement of both Yubo and Snapchat are quite similar. They’re both targeted towards a younger demographic and have features allowing for quick, easy, and fun sharing of life’s fleeting moments. It’s like saying pineapple belongs on pizza just because they are seen together—a heated debate for another time, perhaps? 
But as you rightly pointed out, they’re separate companies, only joined by the integration of some features!
