Connyct could become college students’ replacement for TikTok. Though a host of college campus-centered apps have come and gone, Connyct’s creators hope enhanced privacy features, like only allowing users to join with a .edu email, will make it one that sticks. Plus, it’s going live just weeks before the impending TikTok ban. And it’s got many mirrored features to make it a next platform for this demo: personalized video feeds, private messaging, music sharing, and even an ambassador program. Yes, Connyct users could monetize their video content and get rewarded for having others sign up through their referral link. The app also has an event discovery section where users can organize and share campus activities, alongside community channels for shared interests, all without having to worry about someone outside their campus seeing the details.
