Shoto App For Secure, Private Photo Sharing Launched On Android And iOS
Went on a holiday trip with friends and clicked a lot of photos? Once back, everyone starts asking for sharing the bulk of photos via email or a Dropbox link. It's a big hassle. So, here comes to the rescue - a new private photo sharing app called 'Shoto' that as the name suggests lets you share photos with friends privately and securely. It's a free mobile app now available on Android and iOS. How it works is - whenever a user clicks a bunch of photos, it organises them into albums and lets your friends (who are also using the app) discover them. The app makes use of several parameters like the time the photo was clicked, the location and has an algorithm that recognises which friends were with you while taking the pictures.
Shoto app also tells the user the number of photos he hasn't seen that his friends took and lets him request them with the click of a button. Moreover, the app uses the location where the photo was taken and your contacts to auto-create private photo albums, while also suggesting you to share them with friend via the app.
Since privacy is a major concern, the Shoto app lets you decide with whom the photo gets shared with. You choose who sees your photos and you can unshare at any time. Interestingly, the Shoto app doesn’t upload your photos. Instead, it transfers them from your camera roll into the app, where everything stored is encrypted and protected.
The app can be downloaded in 120+ countries and supports several languages including - Hindi, Spanish, French and Mandarin. Indian-origin entrepreneur Sachin Dev Duggal is behind the creation & launch of this app, which was funded by Real Ventures and Kunal Nayyar, the popular TV series "The Big Bang Theory" actor.
Among the several new features on the app, there's 'real time sharing' to tell you which friends are nearby within a few minutes, so you can start seeing their view straight away, then there's 'comment and heart photos' to let you chat on photo comment threads and an 'events' feature that lets you send you a unique code you can send to your friends. When they install Shoto it will show them the photos they have from your event and ask them to send photos back to you.
