Retro is a radical new idea: a social app where you share real photos with real friends.
It's the app that we wanted for our own family and friends, and for you, it should feel like a breath of fresh air.
Retro is a weekly photo journal that (1) brings you closer to the people you actually care about and (2) helps you appreciate your own life - all without the distractions and pressure of big social media.
So dust off those photos that are just sitting in your camera roll and spread some joy in the world.

And if you’re still reading, here are some reasons to try Retro:
- EASY TO START: Start by choosing photos you’ve already taken and backfill the weeks on your profile with the photos and videos you want to remember.
- NO PRESSURE: Everything was designed with your comfort in mind. Your friend list is private. Likes on your posts are private. No captions required. Update any part of your profile anytime.
- PRINT & SHIP POSTCARDS: Spread some joy through snail mail by printing your photo as a high quality postcard and sending it to anyone in the world via USPS first class.
- MONTHLY RECAPS: Create a beautiful photo collage or video slideshow from the photos you’ve shared from the week, month, or year. Then share via text or Instagram in a tap.
- GROUP ALBUMS: Start a private album and drop the link in your group chat to collect and share photos after events. Perfect for parties, projects, friends, parents, and couples.
- GROUP MESSAGING: Retro is now an all-in-one home for groups large and small, with the ability to share photos, videos, and notes privately in Albums and start group chats in Messages.
- HOME SCREEN WIDGETS: See the newest posts from friends or time hop back to your own memories with our new widgets.
We've poured our hearts into this, and we hope you love it.

This app makes me happy and I know nobody is judging what I post because there are no public profiles. It works well and because you can’t endlessly scroll it doesn’t take up my entire day or become something I “need” to check.

Super easy to use and a fun way to stay connected with friends and family
Disappointing
Chelle1002
Been using for about 3 weeks. Very unfriendly to use- not intuitive in the UI. Biggest bug bear though which is why I’m going to stop using it, is having to post in order see other people’s posts. I hate that! It’s a shame as there is definitely a gap in the market for a non algorithm based social media platform but unless they make significant improvements, this is not it.

This has become my go to social media platform. It’s doesn’t have an endless feed of content from people you don’t know, sucking you in.
This update includes bug fixes and other improvements.
