## 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- “Event expired” or “not found” usually means the invite link is outdated—ask the event team.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.
|
|
