Tired of Instagram getting cluttered with Stories, Reels, and what not? Does everyone seem to be projecting a fake life online? Well, A fresh photo-sharing app has surfaced last week and it didn’t take long for it to take the top spot on the App Store. And well, we are not surprised. Dubbed Poparazzi, the app is developed by a California-based startup TTYL, and it is essentially the opposite of Instagram.
So, what’s different with Poparazzi? Well, as aforementioned, there is no room for any selfies on this app. On this platform, you are your friend’s “poparazzi” and they are yours. 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.
For instance, instead of the “Following” and “Followers” sections on your Instagram profile page, your Poparazzi profile page contains “Views” and “Reacts” sections. Moreover, it puts the camera tab at the bottom bar. Whereas on Instagram, you swipe right from your feed to open the camera and share a new post.
How Does It Work?
Poparazzi was recently launched and is only available for iOS users. However, despite being restricted to a single platform, the app has gained a lot of popularity. The company plans to release an Android version very soon. The app has caught the attention of Gen-Z and some are even calling it the start of a “new age” for social media.
