Retro is a new social media app designed to emulate the early days of Instagram by focusing on sharing moments with friends rather than algorithmic content. Co-founded by Nathan Sharp, who previously led Instagram's Stories feature, Retro encourages users to post at least one photo per week, which is then visible to their followers. The app utilizes photo metadata for context and offers features like albums and a unique timeline navigation, while a premium subscription unlocks advanced features such as sharing older photos and videos, and granting access keys to multiple friends.
