Gapo, a recently launched Vietnamese social network, is a formidable competitor to Facebook with significant backing. Users can now create Gapo accounts and build their own brand.
Another competitor to Facebook from Vietnam, Gapo, has officially allowed users to create Gapo accounts . Although Gapo's CEO has stated that their social network doesn't compete with Facebook and isn't targeting Facebook, we all know that Facebook is a major competitor to all social networks today. Gapo will have a lot of work to do to attract users to register and use Gapo daily as a habit, just as Facebook has successfully created.
Register and create a Gapo account.
Currently, Gapo is not available on the web but only on mobile phones. Therefore, users who want to create a Gapo account and use this Vietnamese social network must download its application here.
Refer to this link for instructions on how to download and install Gapo on your phone .
Step 1: After downloading the Gapo app, users will become familiar with Gapo's basic, vibrant blue interface. Here, click on the "Personal" section > then select " Register a new account" to create a Gapo account.
Please note that you can absolutely use your Facebook account or your Google account to register.
Step 2: If you choose the regular Gapo account creation method, you will need to enter your phone number and password > then wait for the verification code to be sent to your phone, and the system will automatically activate your account without you having to do anything else.
Step 3: So, the Gapo account creation process is complete. This is your personal main interface; try changing your avatar first. Gapo allows users to use photos from their phone's photo library and make minor edits to suit their needs.
Step 4: However, Gapo is probably still too new and has many bugs, so the main avatar isn't showing up yet. Nevertheless, ignore that and upload your new photos/videos to this social network. Posting statuses is the same as on Facebook; there's no difference.
Step 5: Some accounts may see their name listed as Anonymous when posting photos or articles on Facebook. This is a rare error on Gapo and can be resolved simply by changing your information within your Gapo account.
Step 6: Specifically, you need to go to the menu in the upper right corner > then select "Edit Information" > and here you will find all the information you need to understand and edit it appropriately. Of course, Gapo is newly launched, so errors are completely normal and we can accept these minor bugs.
Step 7: Finally, when you upload your information and photos, you will see notifications whenever someone interacts with you, and these are Gapo activity notifications.
There are many more features we can explore after creating a Gapo account. TipsMake leaves it to readers to evaluate and discover Gapo to see if it will be strong enough to compete with Facebook in the future, at least in terms of market share in Vietnam.
Whether Gapo is a potential replacement for Facebook remains an open question, and TipsMake hopes that some social network, at least in Vietnam, could become a Facebook replacement in the not-too-distant future.
Because Vietnam ranks 7th in the world in terms of Facebook users, getting users to give up their Facebook habit is a significant challenge.
Lotus is also a social network developed by Vietnamese people, and VCCorp has just announced its upcoming launch date. Therefore, you will get to experience another social network in a very short time. All you have to do now is wait and then create a Lotus account to make friends and chat.
