When to read this

You received an event link or QR and want to start right away. This assumes a modern mobile browser (Safari, Chrome, Edge, Samsung Internet) and one initial online session.

The essentials

• No account needed: You only need the invite link or QR.
• Camera first: The large camera button is the fastest way to start.
• Gallery & tasks: After uploading you can share photos or complete tasks (if enabled).

Steps

1. Open the invite link or scan the QR. The landing page detects the event automatically.
2. Paste the code or link if needed. You can enter a link or code manually.
3. Choose a display name. This appears next to your uploads. No account or email required.
4. Get oriented. Bottom navigation includes Home, Tasks (if enabled), Achievements, and Gallery. The center camera button starts capture.
5. Install if you want. Tap Add to Home Screen (iOS) or Install app (Android) for quick access.
6. Grant permissions. Allow camera/photo access. You can enable push later from the bell menu.

Tips

• Sharing a device? Change your name in Settings → Profile between sessions.
• “Event expired” or “not found” usually means the invite link is outdated—ask the event team.
• Help is always available via Settings → Help.
