Helo is an up and coming social media network that is exclusive to India. The app gives users a great way to access Helo, but this exclusivity to India serves to limit international growth.

First, some background about Helo. Helo was first launched in 2018 as a start-up that was designed to directly take on some of the giants in social media in Asia. It has been very successful over the past two years, raising millions from investment firms while gaining thousands of users a day. The app itself was launched by Toutiano, a popular and successful start-up company in China. The company has the technical experience and marketing expertise to make an app and network like Helo, and thus far, their expertise has been rewarded.

According to available information, the network currently has over 50 million users. The network itself allows users to create their own audio or video content, using any number of the fourteen different languages spoken in India. Users can create videos or just join to follow celebrities. You can download videos and other content on the app, while also using it to send messages to your friends and followers. An extensive array of Indian celebrities are also on Helo, giving users a great chance to follow and get to know cultural stars.

It is clear that the app is very popular: According to the Google Play store, it has been downloaded more than 100 million times. The app has been reviewed by more than 2.3 million people, with users generally liking the app, giving it an average of 4 out of 5 stars. Users tend to like the app and have repeatedly noted that it comes with a variety of features that they enjoy. Furthermore, the app is easy to use.

Helo brags that it has a variety of features that differentiate it from its competition. This includes a variety of network-specific content, the ability to create one's own video, share statuses, get "good morning" messages, and more. The app also notes that it comes with a variety of robust privacy measures that can help shield users from exposing their personal information to others.

The app is free to download and use, although like most social networks, users will see in-app purchases available, as well as advertisements. These in-app purchases can be as inexpensive as $.99 or as expensive as $100.
