Hornet V9 Is Here: More Features. More Chat. More Fun.
Hornet continues to set the pace for gay apps with the introduction of Version 9.0, bringing users closer with immersive video chat and enhanced privacy.
West Hollywood, Calif., Nov. 20, 2024 — Hornet is proud to announce the release of Version 9.0, a major update transforming how gay men connect digitally. This update centers around authenticity, user safety, and, most importantly—fun.
“We wanted to give gay men an outlet to express themselves freely in a relaxed environment of their mutuals,” says Hornet CEO Christof Wittig, “We’re empowering our users to connect on a deeper level with new features, which help to create more genuine relationships through face-to-face interactions, all within a safe and secure environment.”
These new features, including video chat and messages, make conversations come to life with faces, voices, and expressions—bringing real human connection back to digital interactions. Users are no longer limited to the confines of a chat bubble. Instead, they are invited to engage with users in the flesh— allowing them to feel the thrill of video chat in real-time.
Hornet V9 makes every user’s app experience more personal. Connecting face-to-face brings authenticity and excitement to every conversation, whether users check compatibility before meeting up or seek more intimate experiences through one-on-one video. And with enhanced privacy, like screenshot prevention and new private photo management, users can engage with other guys confidently, knowing their candid moments are protected.
“We are committed to pushing the boundaries of what gay chat means,” says Hornet Head of Product, Delfina Young, “The latest updates function seamlessly alongside Hornet’s already thriving user experience, including more complete profiles, a feed-based design, face verification, and live-streaming— creating a well-rounded platform through multiple product shipments.”
Hornet Version 9.0 is available for immediate and free download in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
