OLX has launched a new mobile app, and replaced its desktop and mobile websites with a progressive web app.<\/p>\n
On the new platform, buyers and sellers will now need to register and login using mobile or Facebook verification.<\/p>\n
Users will have their own profile and will be able to see who they are talking to, and if they have any mutual friends via Facebook.<\/p>\n
OLX said the new layer of security will help prevent potential scammers and fraud.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is our biggest update to the platform since the OLX launch in 2012,\u201d said OLX South Africa manager Sjoerd Nikkelen.<\/p>\n
Listings will also appear in a newsfeed-style layout – similar to social media platforms – and the system will use GPS information to provide location-specific offers.<\/p>\n
