FAQs — Posting moments
Q. Why can't I upload a photo from my gallery?
A. Currently is camera-only — every moment is taken in real time. This keeps the app honest. If you want to share something already in your gallery, you'll need to take a fresh photo of it (e.g., a screenshot from your phone screen).
Q. Can I edit a moment after posting?
A. Yes. Tap the more-options menu on your own moment and tap Edit Moment. You can change the caption, location, and visibility, but not the photo itself.
Q. How do I delete a moment?
A. Tap the more-options menu on your moment and tap Delete Moment. You'll be asked why (this is just feedback for us). See Managing your own moments for full details.
Q. Can I post a moment without tagging an activity?
A. No — the activity verb (Drinking, Eating, Playing, etc.) is required. It's the heart of what Currently is. Pick one that fits, even if it's general like Stalking for casual scrolling.
Q. Can I post the same moment to Friends and Plans?
A. Each moment goes into your home feed. Plans are a separate kind of post for upcoming activities. To post a plan, look for the Plans-specific posting flow inside the Plans tab.
Q. Why does the location say it's far from where I actually am?
A. Currently uses the GPS reading from your phone. If your GPS is inaccurate (indoors, weak signal), the location might be off. Tap Add Location to manually pick the right place.
