Poparazzi topped the free apps chart on the Apple s US App Store after debuting on Monday.
Venture capitalists have been buzzing about the app that could challenge Instagram and Snapchat.
Here s how the new platform that bans selfies and filters works.
A photo-sharing app that bans selfies launched on Monday, generating buzz online and quickly topping the free-downloads chart on the US App Store.
Poparazzi operates as a social-media platform that mimics a paparazzi shoot. It only allows users to take photos of other people. It doesn t allow filters, follower counts, captions, or photos taken by a phone s front-facing camera.
Group-chat platform Discord reportedly turned down a $12 billion acquisition bid from Microsoft.
Discord CEO Jason Citron talked with Insider about the platform s path forward.
From expanding audio features to new options for monetization,
we re very focused on the future, he said.
Discord had quite the year. In 2020, the group-chatting platform doubled its members, tripled its revenue, and expanded its usership well beyond its original gamer crowd.
It s no wonder Microsoft reportedly offered $12 billion to buy it. Just don t expect Discord CEO Jason Citron to spill any details. We received numerous offers, but, you know, are under strict NDA, so I can t comment on anything specific, Citron told Insider.
