Poparazzi was recently launched and is only available for iOS users. You won’t be able to tag anyone in it and it can never show up on your profile. Just make sure it isn’t a front-camera clicked photograph because it would go to waste. You can also upload pictures from your phone’s library. This will create a profile with the tag “this profile is not yet claimed”, which the individual can claim once they sign up. You will also be able to take pictures of people who are not yet on this platform. The sign-up process is pretty simple, requiring basic information like your name, age, and phone number. Poparazzi also does not allow captions or comments (which should promote a healthy social environment). The photos that you take are called “pops” and each profile gets a pop score that tracks how many photos other have taken of you. The app also doesn’t allow cropping the photos, adding captions, or even editing your photos. In addition to the selfie ban, it also bars filters and follower count. You can also control your privacy settings, which means only people who you approve can take photos of you. You can remove any photo from your profile that you don’t like. Although you would not be able to post on your profile, you will have control over your profile. The app also comes with some privacy options for users. But, the camera lets you hold the shutter button to capture a GIF. So, no filters, stickers, or texts can be added to an image. Whereas on Instagram, you swipe right from your feed to open the camera and share a new post.Īs you can see in the screenshots above, there are no options to edit an image before sharing it. Moreover, it puts the camera tab at the bottom bar.

Although the UI looks pretty similar to Instagram, there are a few changes here and there.įor instance, instead of the “Following” and “Followers” sections on your Instagram profile page, your Poparazzi profile page contains “Views” and “Reacts” sections. So, your profile will be based on the photos that your friends have taken of you and tagged you on the platform. You can create your profile but once the profile is made, it is your friends who define it.

So, like celebrities have their own paparazzi, who follow them around and take their pictures, you friends can now do that for you and post your unfiltered photos on the app. On this platform, you are your friend’s “poparazzi” and they are yours. So, what’s different with Poparazzi? Well, as aforementioned, there is no room for any selfies on this app. As per the company’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. 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”. On Poparazzi, there is no room for selfies! Also, the app does not include any photo-editing tool and filters as it wants users to share unfiltered real-life moments.
