## What is Picoro?

Stop scrolling through staged stories. Start requesting real moments.

Picoro is the photo-sharing app that flips the script — instead of waiting for friends to post, you send them a Pic-Request and they respond with a live, real-moment photo.

HOW IT WORKS
• Tap P+ to send a Pic-Request to any friend or group
• They get notified and snap a real photo right then
• Photos arrive directly in your chat — authentic, unfiltered, real

WHY PICORO
• No feeds, no algorithms, no likes competition
• Just real moments between real friends
• See what your friends are actually doing right now
• Group Pic-Requests — get everyone's perspective at once

FEATURES
• Phone-based sign up — find friends from your contacts instantly
• 1-on-1 and group chats with photo sharing
• Pic-Requests with custom notes and expiration timers
• Reply directly to photos with messages or more photos
• Star and save your favorite moments
• Disappearing photos — auto-delete after 7, 30, or 365 days
• Privacy controls — block users, manage contact sync

Picoro is built for the moments you want to see but can't. The ones that don't make it to stories. The ones that are real.

Request. Receive. React.
