ASKfm for Android: application for anonymous communication
Each of us, at least once, would like to ask our interlocutor a question of interest, but at the same time remain anonymous. All this became possible with the help of the ASKfm application for Android, with which you can not only ask anonymous questions, but also answer those addressed to you.
ASKfm is a unique social network that has more than 100 million active users. The peculiarity of this service is questions and answers, and the questions you ask can be either in open form, that is, the user will know who is asking, or anonymously.
Installing the application
You can install ASKfm using the link at the end of the article from the official Android application store. By clicking on the link below from your device, the Play Market will automatically launch on your screen on the ASKfm application download page. Just click on the button "Install" and confirm the download, and then just wait until the application is downloaded and installed.
First start
When launching ASKfm for the first time, you will need to log in. If you do not yet have an account, you will need to create one by completing the usual registration using your email address or using an already registered account with Facebook or VKontakte.
The registration process via email should not be difficult for any user: you will need to fill out a short questionnaire, which includes entering your email address, a new password, username (login), first and last name, as well as your gender, age and language. Finally, for your account to be activated, you will need to go to your email account profile, where an email will be sent with a confirmation link.
When registration is completed, the service is prompted to set an avatar for your profile, as well as add a list of interests.
Using the app
And finally, when all the details have been entered, you can start using the application. First of all, pay attention to the tab "Wall", which is your profile. Here you will be immediately asked to find friends from other social networks who are already registered with ASK. If necessary, you can tell your friends that you have a profile in ASK.
Go to the second sub-tab on the left where random questions will be displayed for you. As soon as you answer these questions, they will be added to your profile, and your friends and other users will be able to see the answers to the questions you previously asked.
The central button is responsible for publishing the post: it can be a simple question, a photo question, for example, which photo is better, as well as a geolocation question that will be asked to users nearby.
The fourth tab on the left is your profile. Your friends, likes, the number of questions asked and answered, as well as profile information will be displayed here, which can be edited at any time.
And finally, the final fifth tab on the right is reserved for your friends. Both the list of friends and their activities will be displayed here.
If you return to the first subtab, you can navigate to the tab "Interesting". This section allows you to pass the time: here you can anonymously participate in surveys or answer questions from completely random users.
