Shoto Launches Its New Feature ‘Album Swap’

Shoto matches friends’ photos and videos and allows to swap images taken during shared moments.

 

Shoto, the photo discovery app, has launch its new feature called ‘Album Swap’ that intelligently matches and swaps your friends’ photos and videos with that of your own. The app organizes photos into meaningful albums and then finds out who has photos or videos from those shared moments. Users can swap relevant content with a friend easily and without creating duplicates.

Shoto is the first app that can inform users which friends have relevant photos and videos even if those friends do not currently use the Shoto app.  This insight is accomplished by leveraging artificial intelligence and using passive data to understand which albums have relevant photos accessible from friends via data sources derived from Facebook, phone book, face detection and other photo metadata. The app then groups and highlights relevant images from shared moments to ensure your album is complete with the full experience from all potential sources.

“Unfortunately, manually and tediously sharing photos doesn’t trigger a dopamine response so we loathe to do it on our own,” said CEO Shoto Sachin Dev Duggal. “Shoto’s new Album Swap technology makes it happen automatically so everyone at the party or on vacation together can discover and trade for the photos they didn’t take with a single tap – no more begging friends to share and endlessly sorting through duplicates.   We’ve made it as easy as possible to organize, discover and share all the great memories from a particular experience.”

Featuring a sleek interface that beautifully displays photos and albums, Shoto’s one click design feature allows users to easily add friends and has extensive privacy controls to ensure users understand what is shared with whom at all times.

Shoto was founded by Sachin Dev Duggal in 2013 and is headquartered in San Francisco. Shoto has secured a seed funding round of $1.5million from investors Real Ventures and Kunal Nayyar of The Big Bang Theory fame.

The app is available for download on App Store and Google Play Store.
