Summary
Houseparty was first released in April of 2019 and was created as a social media website that allows users to video chat with their friends while playing games. After setting up an account, you'll be able to edit your profile and add friends. When a friend gets online and is available to video chat, you'll get a notification through your profile. You can then invite them to a chat or accept an invitation from them. Afterwards, you both can add more friends. The interface will be set up like a grid and each box will have a different person.
There are multiple games to choose from and most features can be used without a subscription or fee. There are some premium items, like certain games or profile accessories, that can only be used once purchased. There isn't a limit to how many friends you have on your list and you can invite any of them for a chat. With that said, though, it's important to remember that a group can only have up to 8 people, so anyone else will need to wait until someone leaves or create their own video chat.
Key Functions
Besides video chatting, the biggest key feature of this app is the ability to play games with the people you're chatting with. There are many different options and you can play games with another person or an entire group. Another great benefit is that you have several settings that can be used to edit your profile, including your icon, information sections, and privacy settings. If someone you don't know tries to send you a friend request or chat request, you can block them with a few clicks.
You'll also be able to set your status right from the app. The three options you can choose from are online, around, or away. Once you choose online, you'll let your friends know you're able to chat. The around status will let them know that they can say hi but you might not be able to chat and the offline status will let them know you aren't available. There are a few issues that tend to pop up, but most users are happy with their experience and love all of the available features. The app works like other social media sites and has many options to give you a more enjoyable experience.
Review/Conclusion
The Houseparty app is a great option for those that want to video chat their friends while having fun playing games. This is especially true during these hard times because you can't really visit people the way you used to be able to. You can have fun without paying anything and you have the option to purchase premium items if desired. The app has been installed over 17 million times and has regular updates to make sure the app runs as it should. If you aren't sure whether this app is for you, try it for a few weeks and go from there. If all else fails, you can delete the app and try to find another way to connect to your friends.
