ALBAWABA – Foto, a new photo-sharing application, was recently launched. The app is strongly competing with Instagram.

Foto new app, now released

The new photo-sharing application, Foto, is designed for photographers, artists, and anyone who simply loves images. The app is gaining popularity by marketing itself as the best photo-sharing platform without the noise of traditional social media.

Users can share their photos without pressure, comparison, or the need for validation — unlike what happens on other social media platforms.

Additionally, the app allows users to share their photos based on a chronological display of content, without ads or algorithms.

According to the company, the application is now available on both iOS and Android stores and is strongly competing with Instagram, the American photo and video-sharing social networking service owned by Meta Platforms.

The Foto application offers subscription plans for its users, including the Foto Ambassador program, priced at $5 per month, $50 per year, and $500 for a lifetime subscription. (Foto)

The application solely focuses on photos and images, avoiding the invasion of videos, the over-reliance on algorithmically selected content, and short-form features like Reels.

No followers or likes

The Foto application is limited to sharing photos, and the number of followers and likes for each user is always hidden.

This move comes as the team behind the application aims to focus on the purpose of sharing photos and high-quality content without digital interference or social media propaganda.

However, the app still allows the use of hashtags and provides the ability to search for specific content through tag search.

Users can easily search and view content in chronological order without the interference of ads or promoted content. Each user has their own account, which the app refers to as a 'portfolio.' Users can add their photos and arrange them freely.

Subscription and benefits

The Foto application offers subscription plans for its users, including the Foto Ambassador program, priced at $5 per month, $50 per year, and $500 for a lifetime subscription.

This plan gives users a special badge on their portfolio, early access to updates, and additional pro features.
