What happens when someone challenges my post?

A story that has been challenged goes into moderation for verification. If a story has been challenged multiple times, and the information contained in it is contentious, it will earn a disputed status. A particular story may be replaced by a challenge after a review based on multiple criteria with help from experts in that particular topic. In case of violations of Pixstory’s term of use, the post will be hidden from public view and will be visible only to the author. If a post is replaced or made inactive, a maximum of 20 points will be deducted from the author’s Integrity Score.

Why was my challenge not approved?

There is no approval required for challenges. You are free to challenge any post. However, a particular post may be replaced by a challenge after a review based on multiple criteria with the help from experts in that particular topic. If your challenge does not match the criteria or someone else has a better challenge, your challenge may not be used to replace the original story.

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
