Tapstack transparent 400

We're the same app you’ve come to know and love, now with some pretty cool upgrades and improvements. Check out what’s new, below.

Why the rebrand from Taptalk to Tapstack?

We felt that our first major version update since 2014 was a great opportunity to make the switch and further highlight our two main differentiators - the ‘Tap’ that you’re already familiar with, and the new feature of the ‘Stack’, a shared album of permanently saved Taps between you and those you tap with.

Does Tapstack work the same as Taptalk?

Pretty much - but with a few new features that we think you’ll really enjoy.

Sending a Tap works the same as always - to send a photo, you still tap the face of the person you want to send it to, and to send a video, you still hold your finger down for up to 10 seconds. The upgrades to the Tapstack experience, however, include:

  • A complete UX/UI rehaul, for improved usability
  • The ability to permanently save Taps in the Stacks we mentioned up above
  • The ability to send Taps not only to individuals, but also to small groups
  • A new log, allowing you to view Taps that you sent
  • The ability to customize your grid of contacts

How does Tapstack work again?

Sharing moments on Tapstack is different than anywhere else. Here, you send Taps - photos or videos that are simultaneously shot and sent in one simple action. To send a photo, tap the face of the person you want to send it to and an image is both shot and sent, simultaneously. A video is sent by holding your finger down on the face of the person you want to send it to. You can record a clip of up to 10 seconds, which is shot and sent as soon as you lift your finger up. In addition to sending Taps to individuals, you can create small groups to send collective Taps to, plus add text, drawings or emoji to your Taps before you send ‘em. You can also save any favorite Tap to your Stack, a shared album of saved Taps between you and the sender.

How do I get Tapstack?

If you’re an existing user, simply update your exisiting Taptalk app and the new version will automatically be installed on your phone. If you’re a new user, download Tapstack on the App Store or Play Store, get a friend or two on board, and you’re good to go!
