Guests join with a name

Guests scan the event's QR code and the camera opens in their browser, with nothing to install. Guests who already have the LingerCam app join there instead. Either way there's no account and no password, only a name and a set number of shots.

Joining

  • Scan or tapThe code on the table, or the link the host shared, opens the event. Anyone with the six-character code can type it in instead.
  • A nameYour name goes on every photo you take, so everyone knows who took it. A phone that has joined before remembers it.
  • One promptThe browser asks to use the camera once, and then you're shooting. The app asks the same way, the first time.
  • Arrived lateFor an hour after the camera closes, someone new can still join the event, so they're there for the reveal.

The cameraOne camera for the whole event, with the event's film already on it.

  • A set rollThe host chooses between 5 and 36 shots each, or unlimited. The counter beside the shutter rolls down with every photo, and the last three change colour.
  • The look, liveEvery photo gets the event's film, and you see it in the viewfinder before you shoot.
  • The toolsFlash on Auto, On or Off, 0.5x on phones with an ultra-wide lens, and the front camera. In the app, the screen lights up as a flash for the front camera.
  • This camera onlyPhotos come from the event's camera, not from your camera roll, so every photo in the event was taken there.
Your name goes on every photo you take.

Nothing is lost

Each photo stays on your phone until LingerCam has it. On busy venue Wi-Fi, photos wait and send when the signal comes back, and the phone never deletes a photo the event hasn't received.

If the event can't take a photo at all, it tells you, and the photo stays yours. The app saves it to your Photos, and in the browser it waits for you to save it.

Until the revealYou can see that the photos are there, but not what's in them.

  • DevelopingThe event shows a tile for each photo taken, with the first name of who took it, and a countdown to the reveal.
  • In the appA notification at the reveal time. On iPhone, a Live Activity on the Lock Screen shows your shots left while the camera is open.
  • In the browserLeave an email for one note when the photos are ready, or add the reveal to your calendar.
  • Another phoneIf you left an email, the link in the reveal email opens the event as you in any browser, with your name and your photos.

Your photos

Once you can see your photos in the event, you can remove any of them. Anyone at the event can report a photo, and you can hide one person's photos on your own phone. Your email, if you left one, is used for the reveal email and for getting back in, and it's deleted with the event. The Privacy Policy has the details.
