Hive is a social networking application that has recently grown in popularity due to an influx of users looking for a Twitter alternative.
Hive allows users to share text posts, as well as photos, videos, GIFs and more. Users can follow other users on Hive, and they can even add music to their personal profile through connectivity with Apple Music and Spotify.
Before someone can use Hive, they’ll need to sign up for an account. Our guide will show you how to sign up for Hive.
