Prove it happened

Any post on Present can be shared, with its proof attached.

Anyone can post a photo and say they were there. It's getting harder to tell what's real.

Everything on Present really happened. Each post has a receipt showing when it was captured, on what phone, and anything that's changed since.

That proof doesn't have to stay on Present. Tap Share after you post, or later from the post's receipt. You get a card with your photo and its code, ready for your story or a group chat. There's a version sized for Instagram Stories too.

Whoever sees it can open the code at prsnt.au and check the receipt for themselves. They don't need the app or an account.

You can add an invite link to the share, so if they like what they see, they can join you.

I'm doing this with my own posts from now on. If you're on Present, try it next time you're somewhere worth remembering.

Present is invite only. If you know someone on it, ask them for an invite.
