Plutoid
Plutoid is a Nigerian-developed photo-based social media application that emphasizes content visibility based on user engagement rather than follower count. Users can share photos, explore trending content, interact through likes and comments, and communicate via private messaging. The app was developed by a team led by Nigerian undergraduate Master Akporhiegbe OgheneRukevwe King and launched in 2025.[1]
Background and development
[edit]
Plutoid was developed by Master Akporhiegbe OgheneRukevwe King, a student at the Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun (FUPRE), Delta State, Nigeria.[2] Nigerian media coverage noted that the app was created to provide an alternative to social media platforms where content reach depends largely on follower count.
Features and functionality
[edit]
Plutoid is primarily a photo-based social media platform that allows users to upload and interact with visual content. Media reports indicate that the application focuses on engagement metrics such as views and likes rather than follower numbers.[3]
The app also includes private messaging functionality, with an emphasis on privacy features.[4]
Plutoid is available on the Android operating system through the Google Play Store.[5]
Plutoid received media attention in Nigerian outlets following its launch. Coverage in The Trumpet and Niger Delta Today highlighted the app as a locally developed social media platform created by a Nigerian undergraduate and noted its engagement-based content distribution approach.[6][7]
