FAQs

How do I start creating pins?

Chevron
You can create a pin for a city in two ways: automatically via the gallery sync feature (found in settings) ormanually from the “My Pins” screen. Each pin requires a location and a photo. Once you’ve created a pinwith your chosen photos, it will appear on your map, allowing you to add stories placed on that location.

What are stories and how do I upload them?

Chevron
Stories are photo posts linked to cities where you have created a pin. Once your pin is set up, you’ll see agrid for each city. You can upload stories directly from this grid, either from your profile or the “My Pins” screen. Each story can include up to 10 photos, which will be displayed as a carousel. Feel free to uploadas many stories as you’d like for each city!

How does the gallery sync work?

Chevron

What can I find on the Feed and Explore pages?
