Just a few weeks ago, Instagram added the ability to upload videos on their platform. Big deal. Streamzoo, the better alternative to Instacrapgram had that feature a long time ago - and more. But with the latest update released for Android, Streamzoo has gone beyond Instagram's league to become the BEST photo-sharing app. The latest update, aka Streamzoo v4.0, comes with a fresh UI and two new features.




Streamzoo gets a make over!


Streamzoo gets a more polished look in the latest update. If you felt some lagging in previous versions when scrolling, v4.0 fixes that too. The new user interface looks sleeker than before and scrolls more smoothly.

New features


The latest version of Android offers two new features: cover photo and groups.


Cover Photo



We've seen cover photos on Facebook and Twitter but this new feature is still a welcome addition to Streamzoo. It lets you spruce up your boring profile and add more personality to it!


Groups

 

With the new release, you can now create and join public and private groups. Share your photos in secret among private group members or share them with friends in a public group.

 And get this - now you can send messages to the whole group. Group chat, anyone?

In a private group, the photos you share will only be visible to group members.



Uploaded photos will appear on your profile, feed, and private group feed but only you and private group members will see them.

In a public group, all photos shared will be visible to everyone including non-members. Uploaded photos will appear on your profile, feed, public group feeds, and streams (if you use hashtags).

It doesn't make sense at first but uploading a public group has its advantages. Since everyone will be seeing your photos, you get more likes, more points, and a shot at making it to the Popular Wall. At the same time, you can limit your interaction within public group members.

If you want to join a group, you do need an invitation from the group owner or one of the moderators. Of course, you can always start your own group.

What are you waiting for? Download the latest version of Streamzoo for Android on Google Play! (Existing Streamzoo users, check out the FAQs section below for more info about the Groups feature)

FAQs on Streamzoo Groups Feature (will add more later)

Q: If I upload a public photo on my profile or anywhere else outside a public group, will it still appear on my public group feeds?

A: No. You have to upload a photo in a public group for it to be visible on the group feed.

Q: If I upload a photo on a Public Group Feed, will it appear on my followers' Users Feed?

A: Yes. Members and non-members of the public group who follow you can see, like, and shoutout your photos from their Users Feed.

Q: What is the difference between an owner and moderator?

A: The owner is the creator of the group. Each group can only have 1 owner. The moderator acts as a manager of the group. A group can have one or more moderators. Owners and moderators can add members into the group or kick them out. They can also remove photos from the group feed and change the group's profile picture and cover photo. However, only the owner is entitled to promote and demote members into moderator status, change the group name and description, or delete the group.
