Our take
Social media has become a large part of our everyday lives, but concerns over bullying and privacy have caused many consumers to question the security of longstanding social networks. Ultraviolet, formerly Octi is a social media platform aiming to take on these problems.
After lengthy trials, Ultraviolet was released to the public in 2021 with the backing of James Murdoch and a host of entertainment industry heavyweights. The app debuted at number one on the app store, and it has undoubtedly benefited from its high media profile. Its use of facial recognition technology promises users better security and safety online, and its pioneering in-app purchasing economy replaces the need for invasive advertising.
Ultraviolet has enjoyed impressive popularity since its public release and its enviable funding should allow the company to scale its marketing efforts even further. This will be vital if Ultraviolet is to compete effectively with the likes of Facebook, which has recently made inroads into AR with Metaverse.
