Relay is a film camera for your friends. The group chat kind, not the ones who follow you. No followers, no ranking. Your feed is your friends and your DMs are friends only, so no randoms. That's it. Nobody's grading you here. Post the blurry ones. Take a photo and it develops with a warm film look, like a disposable. Post it, or send it to one person as an Instant: one look and it's gone, and if they screenshot it, you'll know. Friends boost a snap with an emoji or comment on it. Keep streaks with the people you talk to every day, and put the ones who'd notice if you stopped posting on Best Friends. Stuff it does: - Film camera that develops your photos warm and a little vintage - A Journal for your snaps and a feed for your friends' - Instants that vanish after one look - Emoji boosts, comments, streaks, and a Best Friends list - Group chats with polls and games, and shared albums for up to seven people - Runs and rides from Apple Health, with your route on a map and a flyover video - A visibility setting on every post, down to exact names If your friends aren't on Relay yet, bring them. Export a snap as a black and white card with a clock stamp and drop it in your Instagram story, or let Relay find people you know from your contacts. Got an invite code from a friend? It goes in Friends. Posted, not performed.
