We’re in the middle of an audio revolution that has enabled an entirely new breed of audio-first social platforms. What’s so intriguing about Zebra is the hybrid product they’ve made that combines the best of both worlds: photo sharing + audio messaging. Zebra will enable an entirely new way for users to connect and share. Now when people say ‘a picture is worth a thousand words,’ they can really mean it.
Huge thank you, @alexisohanian, for hunting us!
I am more than excited to announce Zebra today! It's an app to share and talk around photos with your friends by just using your voice!
At the heart of Zebra are photos that talk! Once you capture something you want to share with your camera, you can easily add a voice message. Just hold down on the photo with your finger and start talking. That's it!
When you receive a Zebra (which is what we are calling a Talking Photo) you get to both see the photo and listen to whatever your friend had to say at the same time. Once you want to respond, hold your finger on the photo again and reply with your voice.
Hanging out together on Zebra is easy too. You can sync up with a friend directly from a photo. It's almost like a phone call, but you can continue to share photos while you're hanging out.
Today is really just the beginning of our journey to introduce a more fun and intimate way to communicate, and we can't wait to get it into the hands of everyone. You can pre-order Zebra on the App Store today, but if you really can't wait, make sure to DM me for a TestFlight link to our private beta.
