About BeloPle
Built for African voices, stories and creativity.
BeloPle is an African-focused social platform where people discover videos, share stories, connect with creators, go Live, express their opinions and build communities. It was built in Africa, for the people who create here and everyone who wants to hear them.
Why BeloPle exists
Africa is full of storytellers, musicians, comedians and people with something to say. BeloPle was built so those voices can be found close to home, by people who understand them, and supported by the people who follow them.
- A real chance to be seen. New creators get room to grow, not only the accounts that are already big.
- Support from your own audience. Your followers can send you gifts, and supporters pay with mobile money in supported African countries.
- Room for opinions, not only entertainment. Q o D gives communities a shared question to answer, country by country and across Africa.
One place for your whole story
Videos
Record and edit in the Android app with filters, cuts, text, stickers and a sound, or upload a file on the web.
Photos and text
Posts with up to ten photos, a sound and a place, or text posts for your thoughts.
Live
Real-time video hosted from the Android app. Viewers comment, send hearts and gifts, and vote in polls, in the app or on the web.
Daily
A photo or video that disappears after 24 hours, seen only by the people who follow you.
Q o D
One Question. Many Voices. One Africa. Questions from the community, reviewed by BeloPle, plus an Africa Q o D.
Music
Artists upload songs on BeloPle Music, and creators add them to their posts as a sound.
How new creators get discovered
You do not need a big following to be seen on BeloPle.
- The Belo feed recommends videos based on what people watch, and it gives newer creators an extra push so their videos can reach people who do not follow them yet.
- Hashtags in your captions link to tag pages, and search finds accounts, videos, posts, hashtags and sounds.
- A question or answer people love on Q o D can bring you new followers.
Your followers can support you
Followers can send gifts on your videos, during your Lives, on your Q o D questions, and on your answers once you have posted a few public videos. Creators who grow can unlock monetization and earn from their content and community, and earnings can be cashed out from the wallet. Supporters buy coins on belople.com with mobile money in supported African countries.
Gifts, coins, cash-out and hosting a Live are for adults 18 and over, and the requirements are shown in the app. Read the creator guide
