The Upshot app provides the perfect solution for those who are looking for an easier way to share photos with friends. Unlike other photo-sharing platforms, this app eventually erases each image so that users don't have to live with their photos forever.
The Upshot app functions as a combination between WhatsApp, SnapChat and Facebook Moments. The app works by giving users to option to create specific events and then invite their friends. Each user must then turn on auto-share so that all of the photos taken will be posted to the app. The app's private feed allows all of the invited users to view, like and comment on the photos for a period of seven days. After this time, the photos will be erased from the feed.
The advantage to the app is that users can easily share photos with their friends without the need to post the images to public platforms such as Facebook.
