On Currently, you have the power to decide who sees each moment you share โ€” whether you want it to reach the public or just your followers.


๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Set Privacy While Posting a Moment

When you tap the โ€˜+โ€™ button to create a new moment:

  1. Add your photo/video, activity, caption, location, etc.

  2. Scroll to the Privacy setting (usually near the bottom before posting)

  3. Choose from the following options:

Privacy Option

Who Can See Your Moment

Public (Default)

Everyone โ€” shows up in Discover, Map, Profile

Followers Only

Only people who follow you

Close Friends (Coming Soon)

A custom list of trusted people

  1. Tap Post โ€” your moment will be shared with the selected audience.


๐Ÿ’ก When Should I Adjust Privacy?

  • Sharing a personal or casual update? Use Followers Only

  • Want your moment to appear in Discover or on the Map? Use Public

  • Posting from a private place or sensitive moment? Keep it to Followers Only for more control


๐Ÿ”’ Your Privacy, Your Rules

Youโ€™re always in control. No moment is ever forced to be public โ€” and each moment can have its own privacy setting when you post it.
