Winnie Launches First Photo-Sharing Product for Parents

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today local parenting app Winnie announced the launch of the first photo-sharing product specifically for parents, with privacy at the forefront.

"Parents love taking and sharing photos of their children, but rarely share them publicly especially when there are other people's children in the photo," said Winnie Co-founder and Chief Product Officer Anne K. Halsall. "We want parents to feel safe and have fun sharing their photos, so we created a set of masks that let you cover people's faces without making the photo any less delightful."

The photo sharing experience in Winnie uses face detection to automatically mask people in the photos. The photos are also integrated into the local directory product, so a parent checking out a local playground or activity can see photos other parents have taken at that place.

"Parents tell us that the photos we show are one of the most useful parts of Winnie," said Winnie Co-founder and CEO Sara Mauskopf. "It helps them imagine what it would be like to take their kids somewhere, before they make the trip."

Winnie is free and currently works best in the United States, but can be used anywhere in the world. Download the iOS app or visit Winnie's website https://winnie.com to join their growing community of parents and share your photos.
