How can we help?

Relay is invite only, so you need a code from a friend who is already on it. When you have one, download Relay from the App Store, tap Sign up, and enter the code when it asks. That is it, you are in.

No invite yet? Ask the friend who told you about Relay. Every account can invite a few people.

Tap the add friend icon at the top left of your feed, search their username, and send a request. Once they accept, you will see each other in the feed and can message and share.

Relay stays small on purpose, so it is built for the people you actually know, not for collecting followers.

That is the film look. Relay develops every shot with a warm, slightly vintage grade, kind of like a disposable camera. It is part of the vibe and it happens automatically.

When the shot finishes developing you can add a caption and choose where it goes.

• Journal is your story, your friends can tap in and see your recent shots.
• Feed drops the photo into the main feed your friends scroll.
• Instant sends it to one person and it disappears after they open it once.

You pick which one right before you post, in the develop screen.

Boosts are how you react to a photo, with emojis instead of a like button. Press and hold an emoji to boost more. There is no public like count and nobody gets ranked, it is just a way to say you saw it and you are into it.

Streaks count the days you and a friend keep sharing back and forth. Best Friends is just the people you talk to and share with the most, ranked by how much you actually interact, not by anything public.

Your friends. Relay is private and invite only, so what you share stays between the people you have added. There is no public profile and no way for strangers to find your photos.

Open the profile or the photo, tap the menu, and choose Block or Report. Blocking removes them from your feed and stops them from contacting you. Reports come to us and we look at every one.

If someone is making you uncomfortable, you can also email help@relayyyy.com and we will help.

Go to your profile, open Settings, then Privacy and data. You can delete your account from there, which removes your photos and your data for good. If you would rather we do it, email us from the address on your account.

Double check your username and password, they are case sensitive. If you are still stuck, email help@relayyyy.com with your username and we will get you back in.
