The weight of the app is only 42Mb. This is because the app doesn’t collect a lot of data or information about users. The app is made in such a way that it won't consume more space on your smartphone. HiHi has gained over 700k downloads since the app was released in the country, added the release.

"There is an increase in returning users and in-app purchases. Previously, the app came up with three new features which were liked by the users. The two new features planned are audio and video calling. Through these features, one person can audio and video call their matches and learn more about the person, taking the relationship to the next step. This new feature also gives you the option to plan virtual dates with your matches. This will also make the interaction and bonding more interesting. In this pandemic situation, people prefer to take the dating process slowly, know the personalities of their matches and check how compatible they are with them," said HiHi executive Jitesh Bisht.
