If you've been spending time on Twitter these days, you're probably aware that the app called Peach is the hottest new thing.

Developed by Vine co-founder Dom Hofmann, Peach is a simple, fun way to connect with friends through the Internet. As such, there's no denying that the app is quickly gaining traction among netizens.

Android users should not get their hopes up though, as this app, said to be a mix of Slack and Twitter, is only available for iOS.

Here's how to use the new craze in town.

Create An Account

Just like any other social media platform, you need to create an account and a user name first.

It is worth noting that scores of new users on Peach have reportedly been using names of celebrities – the likes of Tim Cook, Taylor Swift, Taye Diggs, Tila Tequila, The Rock and more – as their handles.

Peach is quickly being taken over by people using celebrity names like Taylor Swift, Tila Tequilla, The Rock and Tim Cook.

Add Friends

Once you have registered, you then get to add some of your friends before streaming updates from other people you are associated with.

The app's home screen is akin to Twitter's interface. Tapping into a person's post, however, will reveal a bunch of other details.

It is worth noting that there is no direct messaging in this particular app. It's actually all out in the open.

Familiarize Yourself With "Magic Words"

What makes the social network out-of-the-box and interesting is that it lets you play around with things the site calls "magic words." Specific features are activated when you key in these magic words. For instance, these trigger words will let you add a doodle, a location, a GIF or other forms of media to your home screen.

Full List Of Magic Words

Here's a full list of magic words you need to keep in mind when using the new app.
