Getting started with Currently is fast, easy, and free! Here's your step‑by‑step guide to setting up your account and jumping into real‑time sharing:


📥 Step 1: Download the App

  • Search for “Currently – Share Live Moments”.

  • Tap Install or Get to download the app.


🔒 Step 2: Open & Begin Registration

  1. Launch the app.

  2. Tap “Sign Up”.

You’ll have two main ways to register:

  • Phone Number:

    • Enter your number → receive an SMS verification code → input the code to confirm.

  • Email:

    • Enter your email → receive a verification link or code → verify to continue.

Both methods help us keep Currently real and secure.


👥 Step 3: Set Up Your Profile

Once verified, you’ll be invited to build your first impression:

  • Profile Photo – Choose a clear, friendly image of you 😊

  • Display Name – Use the name you’re comfortable being known by

  • Username – Unique handle (e.g., @AdventureAlex) — try to keep it short, memorable, and easy to type

  • Bio (optional) – Share a quick sentence about who you are or what you’re into


🔍 Step 4: Choose What You Care About

Customize your experience by selecting:

  • Favorite activities – Pick things you do often (e.g., Running, Cooking, Gaming)

  • Preferred locations or interests – Choose to help tailor suggestions and initial content

This helps Currently recommend the right people and moments for you.


✔️ Step 5: Invite Friends or Follow Creators

  • When prompted, you can invite contacts via your phone or email.
