Hey everyone, I am back here with a new topic, “PENPAL” apps. Most of us don’t know what pen pal apps are?.
I had to surf to know about what are penpal apps, so basically, a pen pal app is just like other social media but has a different way to allow you to communicate, i.e., through letters.
Yes, you read it right. On such apps, you make friends under an anonymous name; you have to create an avatar and choose a nickname for yourself.
After this, you are ready to send letters to random people worldwide and talk to them in the form of a digitized letter, which takes the same time as standard letters to deliver and receive a reply as the actual letter would.

The penpal apps are not only in the form of letters. They also provide a chat room and video chat facility.
