The MeowChat App Combines Social Networking, Dating and Cartoon Cats
Rahul Kalvapalle — July 30, 2014 — Tech
MeowChat is a new app that blends elements of WhatsApp and Tinder. The app features a Tinder-esque matching system that matches you with strangers, but also includes a WhatsApp-like messaging feature that lets you send text, photos and audio clips.
It's essentially an app that allows you to meet people and expand your social network, but also helps you if you're looking for more than just friendship. The app, which is compatible with both iOS and Android, lets you chat one-on-one with strangers or join crowded chat rooms. You can connect with people in the same country as you, but can also strike up conversations with random people around the world by pressing the big orange cat at the bottom of the app interface.
To begin using MeowChat, simply download the app and create a miniature profile by either importing your information from Facebook or creating a username, password and the all-important profile picture.
