The official getting-started guide

How to use LivePost

Start with the photos already on your phone. LivePost keeps each moment together, prepares a post you review before anything is shared, and lets you ask your own memories anything.

Chapter 1

Capture a moment from photos you already have

Nothing has to be filmed or written for LivePost. Open the library on your phone, pick what belongs to one experience, and it becomes a Capture that holds those photos, videos, place and date together. Each Capture starts as its own entry in Moments; when several of them belong to the same experience, you can merge them into one.

  1. Selecting photos and videos from the library with a description and quick questions below
    1

    Pick what belongs together

    Choose the photos and videos from a single experience — a hike, a birthday, an ordinary afternoon. A description appears as you select, and LivePost asks only about what it cannot know: who is in the picture, what kind of event this was.

  2. An open entry in Moments with its media, description and what LivePost understood
    2

    Review what LivePost understood

    Open it and everything sits in one place: the media, the description, the place and the date. LivePost lists what it worked out — the people, the time, the kind of event — and you confirm it or correct it. All of it stays private.

Chapter 2

Home turns a moment into a post

You never have to remember to post anything. Home shows what is ready to become a story, next to the people you follow and the occasional question LivePost genuinely needs answered.

  1. Home with a suggested post, stories from friends and a clarification card
    3

    Home brings it to you

    A suggested post sits at the front of Home under a title LivePost proposed. Below it, a short clarification when something is unclear — who was there, what kind of event this was. Answer with a tap, or choose Not now.

  2. The Create LivePost screen prepared from a suggestion
    4

    Nothing is shared without you

    The suggestion opens as a finished draft: title, media, description, and who may open the link. Change any of it. The post exists only once you create it — LivePost never publishes on its own.

Chapter 3

The post never leaves the memory behind

A published post stays attached to what it came from, so the private original and the shared version remain one thread instead of two copies drifting apart.

  1. The personal timeline showing entries in Moments and the post one of them produced
    5

    Your timeline keeps the link

    Moments keeps them in the order they happened, each with its media and description — and the post it produced right underneath. Anything you never posted stays exactly as private as it was.

  2. A profile page with the newest post at the top
    6

    Your profile shows the result

    The post appears on your profile with its audience and the number of people who made it live. This is what someone sees when they arrive from a link you shared.

Chapter 4

One living link, everywhere

A LivePost is a single address. The same link opens the app when it is installed and a safe web view when it is not, and it always shows the current version of the post — so a correction never means sending a second link.

  1. A post with its link, preview section and a story video
    7

    Check it before you send

    Copy the link from the post itself and open Preview to see exactly what a viewer gets, including the story video LivePost assembles from the media.

  2. The post delivered in Telegram with its media and link
    8

    Send it in a message

    Share the link through Telegram, Messages, email or anywhere else. The people you send it to see the media and the description straight away, without installing anything.

  3. The post opened in a browser with an Add Images control
    9

    It works in a browser too

    In a browser it reads like a post, not a download. If you allow it, the people who open it can suggest their own photos and videos right there — as proposals, not additions.

Chapter 5

The story keeps growing after you share it

Most memories belong to more than one person. A LivePost can take in what others contribute and can be owned by several people, while what actually appears in it stays your decision.

  1. Reviewing photos suggested by another person before adding them
    10

    You review what others suggest

    Suggested photos wait for your review. Take all of them, take some, or take none — nothing joins the post until you add it.

  2. Adding co-owners to a post from friends and family
    11

    Share ownership, not just a link

    Add co-owners when the memory is genuinely shared. They can edit the post, review suggestions and manage its content exactly as you can.

  3. Home showing a post with several co-owners and pending suggested media
    12

    Home shows what needs you

    Back on Home the post carries its co-owners, and anything waiting — like photos someone suggested — is one tap away.

Chapter 6

The people and places behind your memories

LivePost keeps relationships the way you actually have them, gives shared spaces to the people who publish together, and can show you where those memories happened.

  1. The Friends screen with family, groups and friends
    13

    Family, groups and friends

    Family and Friends describe your relationships. Groups are shared spaces you create for people who organize and publish together. What someone can open depends on each post’s access setting, direct shares and active Group membership.

  2. A map showing family memories around the viewer
    14

    See where it happened

    Switch the map to Family and your memories appear next to the ones your family shared — the same trail, the same lake, seen through someone else's eyes.

Chapter 7

Ask your own memories anything

Everything you organized becomes searchable in plain language. Ask a question, narrow the answer, and let LivePost write the story — which brings you right back to a post you can share.

  1. Asking which lakes were paddleboarded last summer and getting three results
    15

    Ask in your own words

    “Which lakes did I paddleboard on last summer?” LivePost answers from your own photos, Captures and posts, and shows you which of them the answer came from.

  2. Narrowing the answer to mountain lakes visited with family
    16

    Narrow it down

    Keep going: “Which of those were mountain lakes I visited with my family?” The answer narrows, and LivePost says plainly when it left something out because it could not confirm it.

  3. A story written from the selected memories, ready to become a post
    17

    Turn the answer into a story

    Ask for a story and LivePost writes one from those memories, with the photos in place and a note of what it used. Edit it, or create a LivePost from it — and the guide starts over.
