Posts and comments

Share photos, videos and text with everyone, with your friends or only with yourself.

Create a post#

  1. In Spiral, tap the round spiral button at the bottom right.
  2. Write your text ("What's going on?"). Use @ to mention people and # for hashtags.
  3. Add up to 10 photos and videos from the Gallery or the Camera.
  4. Choose the audience: Public, Friends or Private (only you).
  5. Optional: Add location (saved as "City, Country", about 1 km), music, a Spotify song or a schedule.
  6. Tap Post.

Long videos are fine: uploads can take up to an hour. If you cancel while uploading, the app asks for confirmation.

Music, filters and drawing#

  • Add sound: For you, Trending, New, Saved or search; choose the part of the track, keep or mute the video's own audio and set the music volume.
  • Spotify: attach a song as a "Listen on Spotify" card (a link, not audio in the video).
  • FILTERS on each photo or video: Natural, Warm, Cool, Film, B&W, Creative, with intensity; Adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth, tint, fade, highlights, shadows, grain and vignette; Save as my filter. Hold the photo to compare with the original.
  • Draw (pen, marker, neon, eraser), text and stickers.

Schedule a post#

In the composer tap Schedule your post, pick date and time and confirm with Schedule post. It is published by itself at that time.

Edit, delete or promote your post#

Open ⋯ on your post: Edit post, Delete post (with confirmation), Share post, or Sponsor post to show it to more people (see Ads). Linework Fans creators also see Who can see this post (see Linework Fans).

Likes, reactions and comments#

  • Tap the heart to like; long-press it to react with 😂 😢 🔥 🙃.
  • Comments can be text, a GIF or a voice comment (up to 60 seconds). You can reply to comments and translate them.
  • Under a post, Translate post translates the text into the app language; Show original only brings it back.

Share#

  • Repost to your Spiral.
  • Send in chat to one or more people.
  • More opens your phone's share sheet; you can also copy the link. Linework links open directly in the app.
