How to pick the right name

Say what is inside

A name like Photo Dump Central or Study Break tells friends exactly what kind of snaps to expect before they tap.

Remember who can see it

Friends you add can see the story name, so keep it kind. Never name a story about someone you left off the list.

Keep it short

Two to four words is plenty. Short names are easier to spot in a busy list of stories.

Make one story per crew

You can create more than one Private Story, so give school friends, close friends and family their own names.
