Hike, the social networking and instant messaging application, has finally received the much-awaited Hike Land feature. The India-based company has already rolled out the Early Preview of it’s highly anticipated offering. HikeLand is a mobile-first virtual world, where friends can hang out together.
HikeLand, as of now, allows two friends to sit in a room and watch TV together. Currently, the content is being streamed via YouTube. The streaming will take place simultaneously on both the users’ smartphones. Moreover, the two friends can chat while watching a video and even go on a voice call to share the experience together.
