What is Zepeto
Zepeto is an app from South Korean developer. This is a social network where users are represented not by traditional profiles, but by virtual avatars. A feature of Zepeto is that here avatars are generated using face recognition technology. These virtual figures can then be customized: change their appearance, clothes, houses, and create unique greetings by combining various phrases with gestures or dances.
To change the appearance, buy clothes and equip the character's house, you need virtual currency. At the beginning, Zepeto gives the first coins for free, later they are earned in quests or bought for real money.
You can make friends with other Zepeto users in the Discover tab, which resembles an Instagram recommendation feed. View the profiles of popular and recommended users, or take your Sim for a walk down the Virtual Street, a picture screen where random avatars appear in zepeto.
If you click on a character, he stops and opens his profile. You can follow the people you like or send them a private message in zepeto.
What to do in the app
Zepeto is focused on communication with other users, so the service can be called a full-fledged social network. Users can subscribe to each other - after that they have the opportunity to exchange messages. There is also a Discover tab where you can view unfamiliar avatars, new characters can be found on the virtual street.
