SharedShot automatically sends photos to the people in them. Photo sharing made easy with no effort required. Take a photo with your friends and SharedShot instantly identifies who appears in it using face recognition, then delivers it directly to their inbox. By the time you put your phone away, everyone already has their photo. How it works: Set up your face scan once. From that point on, every photo you appear in, you will receive, no photos left behind. Every photo you take automatically finds your friends and sends itself to them. No selecting people. No sending to group chats. Just take the photo and walk away. Shared Albums for Group Events: Create a shared album for a formal, tailgate, or trip, and invite your whole group with one link. Everyone can add their photos to the same shared pool, then instantly filter to see just the photos you're in, or photos of any specific combination of people. No more scrolling through hundreds of photos looking for yourself. Your photos stay private. SharedShot only sends photos to people who actually appear in them. Nothing is posted publicly. Nothing goes to an algorithm. Your photos go to the right people and nobody else. Perfect for: Formals and date nights Tailgates and game days Birthday parties and celebrations Beach trips and vacations Any moment worth sharing with the people who were there Two ways to share: Take photos directly in SharedShot, or upload from your camera roll. Either way, face recognition handles the rest automatically. Download SharedShot and never miss a photo you were in again.
