Download ZEPETO for Android

ZEPETO is an Android application built on a social platform where users converse using avatars they've developed.

To build a successful social network from the ground up, you'll need to provide something else than the standard features available on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. And that's exactly what ZEPETO aims to achieve, allowing users to converse with others through three-dimensional avatars based on their own images, due to the app's advanced facial recognition algorithm.

Make your own avatar and communicate with other users.

It's as easy as shooting a selfie or selecting a photo from our collection to transform it into an emoji right away. We can then change its appearance, but we choose to build an environment in which we can introduce ourselves to other users. Our imagination is the only limit. We can send greetings, add plants and furniture to our virtual house, and even participate in daily quests.

Take on the role of a virtual character.

The rest is identical to traditional chat apps. To put it another way, we'll be able to browse various chat rooms, view other users' profiles, follow them, and exchange messages... The influence of programs like The Sims or SecondLife is undeniable, so if you enjoy this type of simulation game and enjoy social networking, download the APK right now and register as a user.

A social network surrounded by controversies

This social network created by the same developers of the instant messaging app SNOW has quickly gone viral and it's not surprising to see their 3D avatars used in other messaging apps and social networks. 

However, it has been immersed in plenty of controversies as of late. A rumor has started to spread over the Internet saying that ZEPETO tracked and monitored its users through the camera and microphone of their mobile devices (very similar to Talking Tom Cat's eyes). It all stems from several Twitter accounts that alerted that if you held your phone up to your ear whilst the application was running, you could hear a strange sound, sometimes static noise, and sometimes a beep sound.

Due to this hoax (it has already been proven that ZEPETO doesn't spy on anyone), thousands of users have started to uninstall the app from their smartphones and tablets, building the credibility of this unfounded rumor, as that noise is usual in any application that makes use of our microphone. Don't worry, it isn't any kind of tracker.
