What's New in Told

3.0.0

October 12, 2026

Told 3.0 is our biggest update yet. Three new ways to share what matters with the people who matter. BITS Short videos for your Space. Record a Bit from either camera, and everyone in the Space sees it right away. A glowing ring on a Space shows there's something new to watch, so you can catch up straight from the top of your feed. Bits are temporary, so share the small stuff without worrying about the record. PROMPT PACKS Not sure what to write? Browse Prompt Packs from the Search tab and add one to a Space. Start with our fall collection: Cozy Season Bucketlist, Spooky Halloween Bucketlist, and The Harvest Table. Answer a prompt and it becomes an Entry titled by the question, so everyone can see how each person answered. Your answers also live on a new Prompts page on your Profile, and your feed will nudge you when a pack has prompts waiting. SPACES, REBUILT Spaces are now the heart of Told. Invite people with a link or directly, and choose their role when you do. Manage members, transfer ownership, and move a Journal between Spaces with all its Entries. Swipe between a Space's Activity and Journals, and see at a glance which Space and Journals an Entry belongs to. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE • A new Entry detail page with a full-screen media viewer • Share an Entry with a public link, and see or revoke every link you've shared • Notifications tab for comments, reactions, invites, and new Bits • Faster, smoother navigation throughout Told keeps everything end-to-end encrypted. Only you and the people you share with can read what you write.

User reviews

Exactly what I needed

This app made sharing the right photos with the right people easier than it’s ever been!

Journaling is actually fun!

So easy to upload and do as long or short of an entry as I want! Love the layout too!

Awesome

Love the ability to see all the grandkids.

The solution to extended family group chats

Everyone has those big family or friends group chats where you only care about half of the things on it. Told solved that problem as you can set up journals for different topics and you can post and comment on each others stuff with just the people you care about. It also has a great UI so you can visually see everything that you’ve posted. It’s the only social media I want to post on.

The perfect journal for my kids

I use this for my daughter and son, I have a journal for each of them and I’ve invited all their aunts, uncles, grandparents, and close friends. I love getting to share all their little moments, but also I love that I get this beautiful journal in chronological order of my kids lives. I want them to get to see these little moments when they are older, and I’m glad that through this I’ll be able to save everything. I’m a big fan of the text entries as well because I like writing quick notes of the funny things they say or do.

I also love how I can have collaborators who can add to their journals. I love seeing posts from grandma of the fun things she did with my kiddos.

And, on top of it all, my siblings use it for their kids, so I get to see all the adorable photos of my nieces and nephews.

Love this app.
