Buddies is a new way to stay close to your friends — more private, more meaningful, more lasting. Throughout the day, capture photos and videos with your friends without being able to see the result after taking them. No preview, no editing — like a disposable camera, you discover the result later. REVEAL During the day, you and your friends add your photos and videos to the Reveal without being able to see them. You can see how many pieces of content were taken, but you have to wait until the evening. Every day at 6:00 PM, everything is revealed at once: you discover their day, and they discover yours. RUSH Send instant photos and videos to your friends. Choose an opening time — 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 1 hour — and they’ll have to open them before time runs out. Otherwise, it disappears. CHAT Chat with your friends in private or group messages. Send messages, voice notes, and stay connected every day. STREAKS Post every day to keep your streak going. The more consistent you are, the more rewards you unlock. MEMORIES Find all your memories in your calendar. Relive your best moments anytime. HIGHLIGHTS Showcase your favorite Buddies on your profile. Your friends can see them instantly.
