Znap is a story app built around real connections. Post photos and short videos that disappear after 24 hours, react to your friends' stories, and keep your streak alive by posting every day. Stories Capture or upload a photo or video, add text, tag friends, and share it. Stories expire after 24 hours so the feed stays fresh and relevant. Daily streaks and badges Post every day to build your streak. The longer your streak, the more badges you unlock. It's a simple way to stay consistent and see how active your circle is. Comments and reactions Leave comments on stories, reply to specific comments, and mention friends directly. Likes and comment counts are visible so you always know what's resonating. Search and follow Find people by name or username, follow them, and see their stories in your feed. Mutual followers appear first so your closest connections are always at the top. Safe by design Every image and video is screened automatically before it is posted. You can report any story, comment, or profile with one tap. Block users to remove them from your experience entirely. Our moderation team reviews every report. Your account, your control Change your email, password, or profile photo at any time. Request a verified badge if you meet the requirements. Delete your account from Settings and all your data is removed permanently. Znap is free. No ads. Just the people and moments you choose.
