Lapse, formerly known as Journal by Lapse, rebranded in August and has become the top app in the Photo & Video category on the Apple Store. Lapse sets itself apart by delaying photo access for one to three hours, encouraging spontaneity and authenticity—similar to a disposable camera. The app currently boasts a 4.8-star rating from nearly 20K reviews. To join, users need an invite from five contacts, since Lapse focuses on sharing photos with friends in group chats where 36 photos develop over a 24-hour period with reactions, comments, and watermarking. But users be warned, deleting an account may permanently block them from creating another one with the same phone number. (Bustle)
