Houseparty, the app, is the current quarantine fave!

From “where are you clubbing tonight?” — a frequently asked question — it has changed to “what are you doing at home?” in the last few days when the country (and the world) has come to a standstill because of coronavirus. So how are party people staying connected with their friends? How are they making up for all the missed catching up sessions and house parties? The answer is Houseparty — an app that has become a rage worldwide, across age groups. The app’s new-found popularity is making staying indoors slightly bearable and fun. The Telegraph decodes the features of the app and why we love it.

Called a social “video calling app”, Houseparty is free and can be downloaded on iPhone and Android phones, ipadOS and MacOS.
