The anonymous social networking app Secret was released internationally on Wednesday and is now available to download on Android.
The app, which was first launched on iOS, lets users share thoughts and feelings with other people, according to Tech Crunch.
The app uses the consumer's address book to let them see posts from their "friends" and "friend's friends."
Secret was previously only available in the U.S., the U.K., Ireland, New Zealand and Australia. It is now available in every country except the few where it is banned, Mercury News reported.
Two streams of anonymous messages are offered with the Android version of the app. One merely shows messages from friends and their friends, and the second only shows messages from users who are closeby, or in the same neighborhood or city, but are not in the user's network. The San Francisco-based company said the app comes with a new "explore" stream that will provide users with trending news and gossips.
Sara Haider, former mobile engineer for Twitter, joined Secret six weeks ago. The company has since been looking to create a new Secret app that is different from the iOS version, Tech Crunch reported.
"I didn't want to make just an OK version of Secret for Android," Haider said.
Haider said she wanted to instead make a more beautiful and immersive app.
"Beautiful and immersive aren't words that are usually used to describe apps on Android," she said.
Users can share Secrets with a button in the upper right-hand corner that brings up a prompt for Facebook, SMS, email and Twitter, Tech Crunch reported.
Secret also includes "Icebreakers," prompts that push users to share their thoughts on the app. Members of Secret's community team will submit Icebreakers and prompts for users and their friends to answer.
Secret is aiming to use the international expansion to engage with more users in other countries while keeping their identities concealed, Mercury News reported.
"You see people in London, England, and Australia and New Zealand using the product when we go to bed," David Byttow, co-founder of Secret, said in an interview. "And it's funny because they post a lot of the same things that we see here in the U.S. People come on the platform and talk about their love life or their aspirations or things they are thinking or feeling."
