Yik Yak is the new and fun way to talk with your friends in the most authentic way possible. It is a free, social messaging app that lets you talk with everyone around you. 

The way this works is that you get a number, and you have to verify your identity. This means that you have to give a phone number and an address in the United States. This gives the app the ability to know if you are a real person or not. Once you verify your identity, you can start talking to everyone around you. The great thing about this is that you don't have to worry about labels and all that other stuff.
