Everyone in the same moment at the same time, in one epic photo. Too many friends for one selfie? Spread across a party? At a concert in different spots? On opposite sides of the world? Snapt brings everyone together in one synchronized snap. How? Easy! • Host creates a session in seconds • Friends join by scanning your QR code (or entering a code) • Host hits the camera button; 3, 2, 1 - everyone's camera fires at the exact same moment! • Pick your filter and save • Boom! Instant montage of the whole crew! But where?! • Parties where the squad is scattered • Concerts when you can't all squeeze together • Long-distance friendship moments • Group hangs that are too big for one frame • Any time you want to capture the same vibe from different angles And what? • Lightning-fast setup—no accounts, no hassle • Real-time sync across any distance • 8 awesome filters to match the mood* • Automatic montage creation up to 9 friends/participants (cram more in each photo!!) • Share instantly to save the memory • Works with groups of any size • NEW Game Mode; Play Rock, Paper, Scissors with friends - and they can't cheat! Spontaneous. Fun. Together even when you're apart. Snapt turns ordinary group photos into something way more interesting—because the best moments happen when everyone captures them at once. Stop trying to fit everyone in frame. Start Snapting! * known 'not-so-great'; filter previews may vary on device, vs what the montage creates (which is awesome!). We're working on it!
