The Timehop app is a social media platform that allows users to relive their past memories through photos, videos, and posts. It has been recognized as the Best Social App by the Webby Awards in 2017 and has been featured in various media outlets such as The New York Times, Digiday, Washington Post, Time Magazine, and Vox.
With Timehop, users can see their exact memories from the same day in history every time they open the app. They can easily tap or swipe through old photos, videos, and posts, reliving their favorite vacations, parties, and weddings as they unfold. The app also allows users to go back in time, from 1 year ago to 20 years ago and beyond.
Timehop also offers a way for users to connect all their photos and videos from their phone, as well as their social media accounts such as Facebook, Instagram, and Swarm. They can also connect other storage platforms like Google Photos, Dropbox, or Flickr to see their entire history of stored photos. This feature allows users to have all their memories in one place.
The app also has a feature called "Relive the best, Hide the Rest!" which allows users to cherish their best memories and protect themselves from the sad ones. They can hide bad memories so they don't see them again next year and even delete them from where they were originally posted.
Another fun feature of Timehop is "Then & Now" where users can compare old photos with new ones by turning them into a side-by-side collage. They can also take a new selfie or a photo of their pet to see how much they have changed over the years.
Timehop also allows users to reminisce with friends by easily sharing memories via SMS or other messaging platforms. They can also post their best throwbacks and use editing tools to crop, frame, and add stickers to their photos.
The app has become a daily habit for many users as they receive a new day of Timehop memories every morning, which only lasts for 24 hours. Users can set alerts to never miss a day and their Timehop streak is tracked, unlocking badges and rewards the longer they use the app.
For those who love nostalgia, Timehop offers "Nostalgic News" where their dinosaur mascot, Abe, reports on the news of the past. Users can also learn about lesser-known and culturally significant historic moments as they relate to today. The app also features "RetroVideo" which showcases clips of movies, shows, and music memories from the same day in a bite-size format.
To stay updated and learn more about Timehop, users can follow them on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. With Timehop, users can take a trip down memory lane and relive their best moments, making it a happy and nostalgic experience.
