Patently Apple joined MeWe and added it to our site as another social media option for our fans, especially for those looking for an alternative to Facebook. Today, just as people across the globe are staying indoors by self-quarantining, MeWe launched 'MeWe’s' - the first dual-camera videos available on any social network. The company thinks that MeWe’s are the perfect way for people to stay virtually connected in a fun and safe way with their friends and family.

MeWe's allow members to simultaneously film and share videos using their phone's inward ("selfie") and outward-facing cameras. With MeWe's, your phone is recording you talking ("Me"), and what you're talking about at the same time ("We") – creating a unique double-view video. MeWe’s can be created by members with iPhone XR or newer, and viewed on all platforms (desktop, Android, iOS).

MeWe also announces the launch of MeWe Stories, allowing members to create slideshow stories of their day that disappear after 24 hours. In tandem with MeWe's, members now have a brand-new way to create and share Stories not possible on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, TikTok, or any other social network. MeWe Stories can be created on iOS and Android and viewed on all platforms.

MeWe's Founder and CEO Mark Weinstein: "MeWe is a force for good in the world. In a time when people are isolating and ‘social distancing’, MeWe’s bring us together in a fun and uplifting new way. MeWe members enjoy cutting-edge features with friends and family, under the umbrella of trust, control, and data privacy."

The ad-free social network has over 7 million members and expects up to 40 million by the end of 2020.

MeWe’s Advisory Board includes Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the Web. MeWe's groundbreaking "Privacy Bill of Rights" guarantees members have total control of their data, newsfeeds and privacy. MeWe safeguards members with a strong Terms of Service.    

MeWe was named a 2020 Most Innovative Social Media Company by Fast Company.
