## Description

PhotoSwap is a global photo exchange social network. Take a picture of your world and send it as a gift to someone who captured a photo at the exact same moment somewhere around the world. In exchange you'll receive theirs and begin a real photo-based conversation, where every image has a single recipient.

No registration is required—install and start swapping. With over 800 million photos swapped, PhotoSwap offers surprising, moment-in-time glimpses into other people's lives through a gift-driven exchange and replies with more photos.
