About
iFunny is a mobile app available for iOS and Android opporating systems which features user submitted pictures.
Origin
The first version of the iFunny app cited on the Apple App Store was released on April 26, 2011.
Featured Section
The iFunny “Feature Team” chooses 40 pictures a day to display in the featured section. They post 20 in the morning and another 20 in the afternoon. The pictures chosen to be published in the featured section are selected from popular pictures in the collective section of the app.
Collective Section
The collective section contains every user submitted picture. The pictures in the collective section are rated on the like/dislike system, similar to the karma system on Reddit. The collective section is often looked down upon for its lack of quality content. The average picture seen in the collective section of iFunny is a picture asking for likes or asking for the viewers to “repost” the picture.
KIKs
Midway through 2012, the collective section of iFunny began to become littered with pictures of users asking for others to contact them on the free messaging app KIK.
Frustration between the users posting “KIK Me’s” and the “OC” (Original Content) users grew throughout the following months.
On Febuary 5th, 2013, iFunny added an option to report “KIK Posts”. The addition of this option cleared the app of many KIK related posts but the occasional “KIK Me” can still be found in the collective section of the app.
