Stories are the quick, in-the-moment side of PopIn, photos and short videos that vanish after 24 hours. Throwbacks is where the keepers live on.
Posting a story
Add a story from your feed (the "your story" bubble at the top) or directly on an event. Pick a photo or short video and post, it shows as a bubble for the next 24 hours, then disappears on its own.
| Where | Who sees it |
|---|---|
| Profile story | Your friends, in their feed's story row |
| Event story | The event's guest list (including no-account guests on their invite link) |
For the host's side of event stories, pinning, hiding, see Event photos and stories.
Throwbacks
A story is gone in a day, but the good ones don't have to be. Throwbacks (in your account menu, or at /throwbacks) is one place for the stuff worth keeping:
- Saved, posts you bookmarked.
- Memories, stories you chose to keep before they expired, plus look-backs at past events.
- Year in review, your PopIn year, rounded up.
Save before it vanishes
Want to keep a story? Open your own story and save it before the 24 hours are up, it lands in Throwbacks. Once a story expires unsaved, it's gone.
