What is Vero and why do people prefer it over Instagram

If while you have been viewing the Instagram Stories you have seen that many of your contacts 'passed over to Vero', don't worry, right now we are going to explain what this is all about. It's no secret that Instagram algorithms annoy us. And a lot. It's very frustrating, especially on a social network as visual as Instagram, not being able to choose to see posts in real time We see a photo of a friend of ours, partying , and it is 12 noon on a Monday; we look at a photo of a concert and think that it is taking place at that moment, when, in fact, it took place two days ago.

This is the Instagram algorithm: it offers you the publications that may interest you the most, before those that users have just posted. Many will think, and rightly so, that who is Instagram to decide what I want to see first. That they should enable the option to view posts in order But, for now, this is impossible.

Vero is a new social network very similar to Instagram. Maybe too similar. However, it increases and expands the possibilities of this, by increasing the privacy settings and, of course, offering us the publications in real time. If you are interested in knowing what you can do with Vero, what her strengths and weaknesses are, be sure to read our special.

Vero, the new Instagram

Under this peculiar name is a social network that is presented as an attractive alternative to Instagram.You can download it from this link in the Play Store. Its installation file is a bit large, 70 MB, so it's up to you to download it with data or with a WiFi connection. Once downloaded and installed, we proceed to open it and create a new user, with our email.

Notice: Vero application is still in BETA phase This means that they have not yet released the stable and bug-free version. When we have tried to subscribe to the app, it has given us numerous errors, as well as when we have wanted to upload a publication. Keep this in mind.

As soon as we open the app, we have the page to upload our first publication. And here comes the first, pleasant, surprise: we can not only upload photos, but also book covers, movie posters, URL links, places... What have you read a book and want to recommend it? Well, click on 'book' and search for it until you find its cover.Then, you will only have to publish it and that's it. That you feel obliged not to recommend a very bad movie? Do the same from the Movie/TV section.

Before publishing the photo, we can edit it, with various filters, as we do on Instagram. You can then choose who you want to share the photo with. Vero classifies your contacts into four:

• Intimate friends
• Friends
• Acquaintances
• Followers

When you ask a user for friendship in Vero and he accepts it, you can apply alevel of friendship pto later know if he wants to see the photo or not. You can say that it is a close friend or an acquaintance. In Vero, we can also 'follow' users without having to ask them for friendship, something like Twitter. You can also choose to only see the post and keep it private.In addition, we can place a profile photo according to the level of privacy.

Just like on Instagram, you can create collections of photos, as well as movie and book recommendations or places to visit. You can also chat with your contacts on the chat page.

The best of Vero in front of Instagram

• Real-time postings
• Best privacy settings
• Access to news articles from specialized media
• Possibility to publish movie and book recommendations

The worst of Vero in front of Instagram

• There are no Stories
• It does not have a huge community of users like Instagram does
• It is still in beta phase, so it can give many errors

As we can see, Vero may have more advantages than Instagram, but its drawbacks are terrible. Without Stories and without its large community, it is difficult for it to cope. Although, why not try it? Nothing to lose.
