Posting on PopIn is quick, and so is reacting to what your friends share. Here's the lot.
Write a post
Tap the compose box at the top of your feed. You can add:
- Text, with @mentions of friends and automatic link previews.
- Photos, one or several.
- A GIF, via the bold "GIF" button in the composer.
Choose who sees it
Each post has an audience: Public, Friends, or Only me. Set it before you post; it's per-post, so you can share something widely or keep it close without changing any global setting.
Reactions
Every post has a set of reactions, tap one to react, tap again to remove it. It's a quick way to say "saw this, liked it" without a comment. You can see who reacted and with what.
Comments
Open a post to comment. Comments are rich too, text, a photo, or a GIF, and you can react to individual comments. The author of a comment can delete their own; the post's author can moderate comments on their post.
