Flock FAQ: shared event albums, answered

Guests download the free Flock app, then join the event by scanning its QR code, tapping the share link, or entering the 6-character join code. From there they add photos and video straight from their phone.

Yes. Guests use the free Flock app and sign in with Apple, Google or email, then join with the QR code or 6-character join code. That’s what gives them a real camera, a live album and full-resolution saves, instead of blurry browser uploads.

Yes. Every event is free for up to 30 photos and 3 guests: a 2-day event, 2 more days for late uploads, and an album kept for 7 days after it ends. Paid upgrades start at $2.99 and go up to 400 guests, with no photo limit and albums kept from 3 months to a year. Each upgrade is a one-time payment for one event, not a subscription.

Create an event in the Flock app and it generates a QR code and a 6-character join code automatically. Print the QR on a table sign or share the link, and guests use it to join your album from the app.

Yes. You can save the entire album, or just the photos you pick, to your phone’s camera roll in full resolution, any time until the album is deleted. What you save to your phone is yours to keep.

Yes. Flock is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android, and guests on either can join the same event.

Yes. An album is only reachable by people you give the QR code, link, or join code to. On upgraded events the host can remove photos, and every album has a set lifespan, from 7 days to a year after the event, rather than staying online indefinitely.

A free event supports up to 3 guests. Paid upgrades raise the limit in steps up to 400 guests, which comfortably covers most weddings, parties, and large gatherings.

A free event’s album is kept for 7 days after the event ends. Upgraded albums are kept for 3 months (10 or 25 guests), 6 months (50 to 150 guests) or 1 year (200 or 400 guests). The app shows each album’s deletion date, and reminds anyone who hasn’t saved their photos before it’s deleted.

Yes. The host of an upgraded event can add another year at any time before the album is deleted: $4.99 for 10 or 25 guests, or $9.99 for 50 guests or more. It’s a one-time payment for that event, and you can add another year again later.

Yes. After an event ends, guests can keep adding photos from their camera roll for a while: 2 days on a free event, 7 days on 10 to 150 guests, and 14 days on 200 or 400 guests. Free events last 2 days from the start, and upgraded events last 7 or 14.

Find me matches a selfie you choose to take with the faces in an event’s photos, so you see every photo you’re in, including the ones other guests took. Only you see your results. It’s included when an event is upgraded to 50 guests or more, and it’s a $2.99 add-on for 10- and 25-guest events.

Yes. Flock captures both photos and video, and they sit together in the same live gallery, so the toast, the first dance, and the candids all land in one place.

No. Flock is an event photo-sharing app for weddings, parties, and trips. It is not affiliated with Flock Safety, the Flock team-messaging app, the discontinued Flock web browser, or the 2012 Flock photo app by Bump.
