How It Works

Getting Started

Start Exploring Spime.

Whether you want to see what's happening around you, join an existing Spime or create your own, getting started takes only a few moments.

Here's everything you need to know.

Three places. Everything you need.

THE BASICS

Worlds

My Zone

Everything connected to you and where you are.

Find Spimes Near Me. Now. or Near Me. Past., along with your Favorites and Archives.

Worlds

Worlds

Explore beyond where you are.

Discover Spimes and photos from around the world through Latest, Popular and Map.

Global Map

Profile

Your account. Your settings. Your preferences.

Manage your profile, Tokens, Premium Membership and other personal options.

Start by exploring.

NEAR YOU OR AROUND THE WORLD

From My Zone, open Near Me. Now. to see active Spimes around your current location.

Tap any Spime to enter it and explore its photos, videos, comments and activity.

Want to look farther away? Open Worlds to explore Latest, Popular or the Map.

Nearby is where you participate. Worlds is where you explore.

Enter the Spime. Become part of it.

WHEN YOU'RE THERE

When you're within an active Spime's area, you can participate.

Open the Spime and use its camera to capture photos and videos. Your contributions appear alongside those captured by everyone else participating.

Depending on the Spime's settings, you may also be able to chat, comment, like content and interact with other participants.

Photos and videos are captured through Spime—not uploaded from your photo library.

If you're there, you're part of the moment.

Creating a Spime takes only moments.

YOUR PLACE. YOUR MOMENT.

1

Start a New Spime

Tap the Create Spime control to begin.

Create New Spime

2

Give It an Identity

Add a name and cover image for your Spime.

3

Choose How It Works

Set its radius, duration and participant limit, then choose any privacy, visibility or other options you need.

4

Create

Your Spime becomes active and people within its area can discover and participate according to the settings you've chosen.

Leave the place without leaving the Spime.

STAY CONNECTED

When you find a Spime you want to keep, Follow it.

Following lets you return to that Spime later and helps preserve it in your Archives after it expires.

Follow the Spimes you don't want to lose.

The moment ends. The memories don't.

YOUR ARCHIVES

Spimes are designed around a period of time, so eventually an active Spime ends.

Spimes you've created or followed are automatically moved into your Archives, keeping their photos and videos organized so you can return to them later.

And Near Me. Past. gives location another dimension—letting you discover past Spimes associated with where you are now.

Now becomes Past. Spime keeps both connected to the place.

There's more when you're ready.
