Well, A fresh photo-sharing app has surfaced last week and it didn't accept long for information technology to take the top spot on the App Store. And well, we are not surprised. Dubbed Poparazzi, the app is adult by a California-based startup TTYL, and it is essentially the opposite of Instagram.

On Poparazzi, there is no room for selfies! Also, the app does not include any photo-editing tool and filters as information technology wants users to share unfiltered existent-life moments. Dislocated? Allow me explain in detail.

The new photo-sharing platform is different from its competitors as it claims to create a space where there is no pressure to be "perfect". As per the visitor's official blog post, people's real lives are made up of many not-so-perfect moments that are worthy of being captured and shared.

What Is It Like?

So, your profile will be based on the photos that your friends have taken of yous and tagged you on the platform. You cannot tag yourself in photos. Although the UI looks pretty like to Instagram, there are a few changes here and there.

For instance, instead of the "Following" and "Followers" sections on your Instagram profile page, your Poparazzi profile page contains "Views" and "Reacts" sections. Moreover, information technology puts the camera tab at the bottom bar. Whereas on Instagram, y'all swipe right from your feed to open the camera and share a new post.

Every bit y'all can encounter in the screenshots above, in that location are no options to edit an paradigm before sharing it. So, no filters, stickers, or texts can be added to an image. But, the photographic camera lets you hold the shutter button to capture a GIF.

The app also comes with some privacy options for users. Although you would not be able to post on your profile, you lot will have control over your contour. You tin can remove whatever photo from your profile that you lot don't like. You can also control your privacy settings, which means only people who you approve tin can have photos of you.

In addition to the selfie ban, it as well bars filters and follower count. The app also doesn't allow cropping the photos, adding captions, or even editing your photos. This is as real as it gets!

How Does Information technology Piece of work?

The photos that you take are called "pops" and each profile gets a pop score that tracks how many photos other take taken of y'all. Poparazzi too does non allow captions or comments (which should promote a healthy social environs). You can, however, react to the pops.

The sign-up process is pretty simple, requiring basic information like your name, age, and phone number. You lot will also be able to take pictures of people who are not yet on this platform. This will create a profile with the tag "this profile is not yet claimed", which the individual can claim once they sign upwards. You lot tin can besides upload pictures from your phone'south library. Simply brand sure it isn't a front-camera clicked photograph because information technology would go to waste. Y'all won't be able to tag anyone in it and information technology can never testify up on your contour.
