Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
My name is T, an editor at our company, and I love SLR cameras, and more specifically, film SLR cameras.
What camera do you usually use to take photos?
…Most people would probably answer "smartphone" here, right?
Even if you don't, there are still people who take photos with digital SLR cameras or mirrorless cameras.
What's more, I think there are also people who enjoy taking photos with the Instax.
But...people in their 40s now probably made albums of their memories with instant cameras like the "Utsurundesu" when they were younger, right?
Did you miss the time you had to wait for the film to be developed?
This time, it reminds me of the fun I had back then.Dispo: A new type of photo SNS appI would like to introduce how to enjoy and use it.
Dispo...I'm sure you'll get hooked!

What is "Dispo"?

Dsipo is an app that lets you take LOMO-like photos in the same way as the old-fashioned "Utsurundesu" disposable camera.
And the biggest feature of this app isThe photos you take can't be viewed until 9am the next day (or they won't be developed).)"is.
That's not possible these days, is it?
I think young people are dumbfounded when they can't see the photos they've taken right away.
But this was common in the past.
A photograph is only completed through a process called "development," so
Dispo has brought this to the stage of a photo SNS.
These two elements are everything, and they are the key to why Dsipo is so nostalgic and emotional.
A slow, relaxing camera app that lets you share the moment "now".
The photo you posted has no information whatsoever. Just a photo on a white background.
All it has is a like button and a comment section for interaction.
But for some reason it's warm...
The author feels that there is something we have forgotten about this social networking site.
How to enjoy Dispo
So how can you actually enjoy this app?
The connection through photography creates bonds
DAnother feature or limitation of sipo (disposable) isYou can only invite a maximum of 20 friends.
Instead, you can record lifelong memories with a limited number of friends without worrying about the present, and then share albums...I think that's the way to enjoy this SNS app.
*As of August 2021, 8, the invitation system has been abolished and anyone can join the app.
An app that strengthens connections with friends.
Similar to the SNS app "Gravity" that I introduced the other day, this app can help you take a trip out of your tired days, and I think it's a unique way to relax and have fun...
The photos are developed at 9am.
As mentioned earlier, photos on Dispo are not developed until 9am the following morning.
With old instant cameras, once you'd taken all the pictures you wanted and handed the film over to the photo shop, all you had to do was wait.
By using this app,Waiting time = Making good use of free time" can also be interpreted as "
Instead of just idly taking photos, you can use your free time to go on dates with your girlfriend or boyfriend like you used to, and having that kind of mental space can be a source of enjoyment and relaxation, right?
It's a return to the origins of photography.
Dispo installation instructions
Now, I'll give you a brief explanation of everything from installing Dispo to taking photos and publishing them.

①I created an account using "Continue with Apple."
②Enter your own phone number.
③A verification code will be sent to you via SMS. Enter it, set your handle name, and your account creation will be complete.
Let's get started by taking some photos with Dispo!
Now let's actually take a photo.
So exciting and thrilling.

Very narrow viewfinder lol
Look through this to take a photo. By the way, the camera can be held either vertically or horizontally.
By the way, the dial next to the viewfinder is the wide-angle to telephoto switch dial.
The shutter button is the yellow circle below.
The interface has a very retro feel to it, which makes me feel attached to it.
Also, Dispo does not have photo editing filters like Instagram.
This also feels like a disposable camera.
*After the photos have been developed, you can frame them.
Once the shooting is finished, the developing process begins, as shown in the image on the right, and then all you have to do is wait until 9:XNUMX a.m. the next morning to see the finished product.
You can choose to make your Dispo photos public or private.

Here's the finished photo.
The photo has quite a retro feel to it.
Once the photos are developed, you can choose between two types: "Private" and "Public", so you can enjoy them privately without showing them to others.
If you select "Public", you can select the follower you want to share with and make your camera roll public to that person.
You can also create as many camera rolls as you like, and set the public settings for each one individually.
As an added bonus, it has a timeline feature similar to Instagram's "Stories," allowing you to create short clip movies.
The above is the basic usage of the photo SNS app "Dispo."
How do I invite my friends?
Here's how to invite your friends:

①Tap "..." in the top right corner of the profile screen.
② Under "Invite from Contacts," tap the phone number of the friend you want to invite.
③The invited person will receive an invitation notification via SMS, and once they tap on it the invitation is complete.
Additionally, to follow someone who has already created an account on the app, tap the search mark in the top left corner of the screen and enter the handle name of the person you want to follow to complete the process.
Come on, let's share our memories together!
Is there an Android version of Dispo?
As of April 2021, 4, Dispo is only available for iPhone, and the release date for the Android version has not yet been decided.
Now that they've created a social networking app that helps deepen the bonds between friends, I hope they'll release an Android version soon...
It's lonely being the only one out of your friends who uses Android...
I sincerely hope for an immediate response.
Dispo's Twitter Reputation
Now let's take a look at the reviews and reputation of Dispo to see how it is being enjoyed on Twitter.
According to Dispo's official Twitter account, the number of photos posted by users exceeded 1 million just yesterday.
Looking at it this way, it hasn't become a huge topic yet, but word of mouth is slowly spreading, and on Twitter you can see people gradually enjoying the app. Also, the reviews from users who have actually used it are very good.
Dispo is an app for sharing the present, but when you look at Twitter like this, the resulting photos give you an interesting illusion, as if they were photographs of the distant past.
Latest news: Dispo finally enters the Japanese market!
Finally, driven by the wave, Dispo is finally coming to Japan!
Career-related SNS "YOUTRUST" is launching a Japanese branch of Dsipo.
The company is currently planning an "Amazing Side Job" and will begin recruiting members from July 2021, 7. Although the launch date has not been announced, it is likely that the Japanese branch will be established by the end of the year.
It's great for users to know that the company is now fully established in Japan and that we can look forward to new initiatives and improved services!
It will be exciting to see how Dsipo will grow in the future.
Summary
What did you think?
All modern social networking apps are social networking apps that convey "real-time" information, and I feel that this trend is only accelerating.
So what is Dispo?
To me, this app is gradually becoming more popular, but perhaps it's evidence that many people are tired of modern social media and are looking for some peace of mind somewhere in their hearts.
From the generation that grew up with disposable cameras to the generation that is now accustomed to smartphone cameras, why not try the Dispo app once again and find peace in your new life in the style of the good old days?
