LiveStatus is back :) After some time away, we're so excited to bring LiveStatus back to life — and this is just the beginning. We've missed you, and we're back to make it even better. LiveStatus is a simple status-sharing app that helps you share real-time photos, locations and updates with your person and close friends every day. Your status updates sync to the Lock Screen and Home Screen in real time, so the people you care about can stay close to your moments — wherever they are. Capture what you are doing, how you are feeling, and where you are, then share it instantly with the people you love. This is a new chapter for LiveStatus. We're listening, we're building, and we're not going anywhere this time. Thank you for waiting for us! - Terms of Service:https://liveinchat.github.io/livestatus/tos.html - Privacy Policy:https://liveinchat.github.io/livestatus/policy.html

Beam puts a few seconds of your partner on your Home Screen. Record a photo or a short clip, dress it up, and send it. It lands on your partner's Home Screen widget — no app to open, nothing to scroll. The next time they pick up their phone, there you are. SEND A MOMENT, NOT A MESSAGE • Photos and short clips that play right on the widget • Draw, add text and stickers, crop and adjust before you send A THREAD FOR THE TWO OF YOU • Everything you send each other, in one conversation • Messages, photos, clips and voice messages • React to what your partner sends JUST THE TWO OF YOU • Pair with a five-character code, a QR code or a link • No feed, no followers, no strangers, no ads • Take back anything you sent — it disappears for both of you • Report anything, leave the pair, or delete your account at any time Beam needs two people: install it, then invite your partner.
