This function is a built-in feature. Once you’ve completed your downloadable content, you can share them on WhatsApp, Facebook, and Xender.
Helo users tend to post short-form videos. The app allows you to use its library of filters, effects, music, and soundbites to overlay on your videos. The editing tools are similar to those of TikTok. The reason for this is because ByteDance owns both TikTok and Helo. Helo users can also gain notoriety with the content they create. These Helo stars include famous Indian personalities, musicians and actresses. But, you can also use the app’s features to gain followers of your own.
