How can I apply an interest filter on my photos?

You can add one or more interests while creating a story, photo or a page. These interests will be automatically added to the list of interests in your profile. People with interests that match those in your posts will get these posts in their default home page feed. You can also check for people with similar interests in the connect tab. You can also prevent others from seeing your interests by adjusting your privacy settings.

How do I set up my profile?

Go to the hamburger menu on the home page and tap on the default profile image next to your username. This will take you to your profile page. You can enter the details you wish to share and also hide your profile or specific details such as age in your privacy settings.

Why aren't my messages updating?

Pixstory does not provide a real time chat function. Exiting and returning to the chat screen should display new messages. Also, check your privacy settings to see if you have turned off the messaging functionality.

Why can't I message someone on Pixstory?

You have to be friends with another user to message them. You can send them a chat request, which that user has to approve. You can also become friends if both of you follow each other. The other user could also have disabled messaging from his/her privacy settings.

How do I create a post?

Use the “+” icon at the bottom of the app. Choose the option “Story+”. You have the option to select photos from the Pixstory gallery, favourites, phone gallery, and the option to click an image from your camera. Once a photo is selected, you can crop it to fit in the display frame on Pixstory. You can add captions, credits and interests by selecting each photo. Go to the next page and add a Title and Narrative. You can either type the text or record it. The voice file can be converted to text, but we suggest you edit it before publishing. A voice narrative can be one minute long. Then add interests to the post. The interests will be displayed along with the post and added to your profile. You can hide them from your privacy settings. You can then choose the effects for your photos and then preview the story before publishing. In preview, you have an edit button that allows you to change the photos and text. You can also edit your post after publishing
