About

Multivers

Read full description

Multivers flips social media on its head. You don't post about yourself — your friends do. Request photos, videos, and stories from people around you, and they decide whether to share. Every post is a moment someone else thought was worth capturing. HOW IT WORKS Want a photo or story of yourself? Send a request to a friend nearby. They capture the moment, and you choose to accept or decline before it goes live on your profile. It's social media through the eyes of the people who know you best. STORIES Request stories from friends and see your life through their perspective. Stories disappear after 24 hours, keeping things fresh and authentic. REAL-TIME MESSAGING Chat one-on-one or forward posts to friends. See read receipts, reply to specific messages, and react with emoji. DISCOVER Search for people and explore content with visual search. Follow accounts that interest you and build your community. DUAL CAMERA Capture front and back cameras simultaneously for authentic, in-the-moment content when fulfilling a friend's request. STAY IN CONTROL Accept or decline any post before it appears on your profile. Private accounts, mute and block, close friends lists, and granular notification settings give you full control over your experience.
