Flashback is a camera-first way to build shared photo and video collections with the people who were actually there. Snap a photo or capture a video right inside the app — or shoot both cameras at once with dual camera mode — and drop it straight into a shared flashback. Everyone in the album sees new moments the instant they're added, so the whole trip, party, or night out comes together in one place — instead of scattered across a dozen camera rolls. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your flashbacks are private. Every photo and video in an album is visible only to the people you invite — and you're always in control of who's in. SHARE WITH FRIENDS Invite friends with a link or QR code, add them as members, and build the album together. Find friends already on Flashback, send friend requests, and keep your crew close. REACT AND RELIVE Like your favorite shots and leave comments right on the photos and videos. When an album wraps, relive it with a recap that replays every moment — and save the ones you love straight to your camera roll to keep forever. MADE FOR EVENTS Create albums for trips, parties, and everyday hangouts. Party and vacation albums can run for a set window and reveal the memories together — with a live countdown right on your Lock Screen. YOUR ALBUM, YOUR AUDIENCE Keep a flashback private, share it with just your friends so it appears on your profile without hitting Discover, or make it public for anyone to find. Public, friends-only, or private — it's always your call. STAY IN THE LOOP Get notified when friends add photos, like your moments, comment, or join your albums — and tune notifications exactly how you want them. No ads. No selling your data. Just your memories, shared with the people who made them. Questions or feedback? Reach us anytime at support@flashbackalbums.co.
