Conversation: Co-founder of Indian social network Koo releases a new photo sharing app Crunch

A: Hey there! Did you hear about the new app that came out?
B: No, what's up?

A: So, this guy named Mayank, from that Indian social network Koo, just launched a photo-sharing app called PicSee.
B: Oh really? What's so special about it?

A: Well, it automatically finds photos of your friends in your camera roll and shares them with them, without you having to use any messaging system like WhatsApp or Instagram.
B: That sounds useful! But what if my friends aren't on PicSee yet?

A: You can send them a sharing request. If they accept, it'll start sharing your photos of them automatically. They can also choose which ones to keep or not.
B: What if I don't want to share a photo right away?

A: No problem! The app waits for 24 hours before sending the photos if you haven't done it manually. And, you can review the photos and choose not to send some.
B: That's pretty cool, but what about privacy concerns?

A: They said they have a bunch of privacy controls in place. All processing is done on your device, and nothing is stored in the cloud. It also has a filter for NSFW pictures and blocks screenshots.
B: I see... But will people want to change their habits for this app? Seems like a small circle of relationships.

A: Yeah, that's a challenge. But they plan to add more social engagement features, like chatting under photos, creating albums, and integrating with Google Photos/iCloud.
B: That sounds interesting! How much did they raise for this app?

A: They raised $4 million last year, led by Blume Ventures with participation from General Catalyst and Athera Ventures.
B: Cool! Keep me posted on any updates, will you?

A: Absolutely! Let's catch up soon to discuss more about this and other cool tech stuff. 😊
Summary
