How it works
Four steps. None of them a sign-up form.
Ping is your private social network. Here's the whole thing.
-
Start
Open it. There's no sign-up. Pick a name and a picture; your iPhone is your identity.
-
Add friends
In person, or with a link. One at a time. No one can find you, request you, or be suggested you. There's no people search.
-
Post
Photos, videos, a voice note, where you were, what you were listening to. It goes to your friends. No one else.
-
Keep
Everything your friends post arrives at full quality, and stays. You choose how far back.
Near instant. At full quality.
Everything your friends post — photos, videos, all of it at full quality — lands in seconds, on 5G or Wi-Fi. Nothing queued. Nothing compressed.
They arrive at the quality they were shot at, not the quality a network was willing to pay for. And nothing sits on a company's server waiting for you. It goes from your friend's phone to yours.
If you want to know exactly how that works, we wrote it out.
What you'll need
iPhone 15 Pro or later, running iOS 26. Everything happens on your phone instead of on a server, and keeping what your friends post at full quality takes a recent chip and the memory to go with it. No Android version today.
