Yik Yak was founded in 2013 by Tyler Droll and Brooks Buffington and became popular on college campuses and high schools in 2014. But it has also lead to some serious problems.

People post anonymous text posts on Yik Yak that are often funny or relatable. Yes, seriously, the once-popular app Yik Yak has relaunched, and the premise of the app is basically the same. Yik Yak is a location-based anonymous social media app with a controversial past. Yik Yak is back after a four-year hiatus.
