The network operator's Android app for the younger ones

Thanks to Facebook and Twitter, social networks became popular about 10 years ago. But that doesn't mean they were the first, nor were they the only ones. In Spain, Tuenti was very popular and became known as the Spanish Facebook.

The question is why the invention ended up being bought by Telefónica and the truth is that Tuenti was on the brink of extinction because they didn't know how to keep all the users. Because most of them ended up migrating to Zuckerberg's social network (btw, if you want to figure out how to download your old profile's photos, you can't).

This is how you turn a social network into a mobile operator

However, since his millions of euros would have been spent by Spanish telecoms, wasting them was out of the question. So he took the brand that still had enough commercial clout and used it to launch a mobile operator that catered specifically to young viewers.

This app now offers a range of services based on simple plans and offered at competitive prices, either contract or prepaid. If you download the APK for Android, you'll have access to the following features:
