Inshorts' social video app Public gets 10 million users in 6 months

A million videos are being created every month on Public, says the company. It competes with the likes of TikTok, YouTube and other video-based apps

News curator app Inshorts has said its location-based social network, Public, registered 10 million users within six months of launch.

Public works on the idea that people should be able to record and share happenings around them, enabling real-time local updates, especially in tier-II and tier-III cities. 

It is a GPS location-based app and will show users content being generated near them and from people whom they follow (online). 

The beta launch test (the term for pre-release of software, given to a large group of users, to try under real conditions) for Public began in April. The final launch was in July. It
