Pamojah is in closed beta. The sign up screen tells you whether you need an invite code. If it does, ask a friend on Pamojah for their code and enter it at the top of the form.

A new profile has no photo or bio, and your name is your username. Open the Profile tab, tap the menu at the top right and choose Edit Profile. There you can add a photo, a name and a bio.

The Feed tab has three views at the top: For You, Following and Drops. For You shows public videos from across Pamojah. Following shows the newest posts from the people and pages you follow.

Pamojah gives credit for content you started and lets the community vote on that credit. It ranks posts in a way you can read, and it lets you leave posts at real places. Here is the short version of each idea.

Tap the + tab to open the camera. Record in clips, then trim, add text and stickers, fill in the details and tap Publish.

Tap Effects on the camera to record with an AR effect. Street Cred floats a crown above your head, and Wave Connect or Pulse Burst place a Pamojah card in the room around you. World Drops are not available yet.

You choose an Audience for each post on the Details screen: Public, Followers Only, Private or Unlisted. Only Public posts appear in For You, search and Currents, and only Public posts can be shared outside Pamojah.

A Ripple is a casual video that disappears after 24 hours. It shows in the row of circles at the top of the Feed for people who follow you. It does not count toward Originator, Street Cred, Pulse or Currents.

A Stitch opens your video with up to 5 seconds of someone else's. A Duet records you alongside their video. Both start from the Share to sheet, and each creator chooses who can use their videos this way.

Currents is the wave tab. It holds this month's charts, from Hot 100 to Brand 50. Tap any post on a chart to see the signals behind its position.

Pulse shows the posts that have just moved the most on the charts, plus the polls and questions getting the most votes and answers right now. Open it from Currents, or from the flame button on a video in your feed.

Tap any post on a Currents chart to open Chart Signals, the watch, sharing and conversation numbers behind its position. Pamojah shows the signals, not the exact weights.

Every Currents chart counts watches, shares, saves, likes and comments from the current calendar month. On the 1st the count starts again, so each month is a new lane for new creators.

Open the camera, pick Live on the strip under the shutter, give your stream a title and tap Go Live. People watch through the link you share. Tap End Live when you are done.

You need the creator's live link. Open it in a web browser, or paste it into Watch a Live in the app (the radio waves icon at the top of the Feed).

A page is a posting identity for a business, nonprofit, campaign or brand. You create it from Settings > Account > Your Pages and run it from your own account. A page has no login of its own.

When you publish a video, the Details screen lets you choose whether it appears from your own account or from a page you run. A post published as a page shows the page's name and photo, not yours.

A page is run by people with a role on it. Owners and admins can both edit the page and post as it. Only an owner can add or remove people, and a page needs at least one owner.

A blue FR mark next to a name means Pamojah has confirmed who is behind that account or page. It says nothing about whether their videos are original. Originator and Street Cred cover that.

Apply from Settings > Account > For Real identity verification. Choose a category, enter the evidence Pamojah should check, and submit. A person at Pamojah reviews it, and it is free.

The FR registry is a public list of every account and page with an active For Real check. Anyone can read it at pamojah.com/registry, with no Pamojah account. In the app it is under Settings > About > FR Registry. Each entry shows the category, the dates and the kind of record that was checked.

Every For Real check has an expiry date. When it passes, the FR mark goes and the entry leaves the registry. You can re-verify in the 30 days before it expires, and Pamojah shows a banner to remind you.

You can send text messages to another person on Pamojah from their profile. Your conversations are behind the speech-bubble icon at the top of the Feed.

You can send a Public post to other apps as a link, or as the video itself when downloads are allowed for it. Tap Share on the video, then tap an app in the top row.

Report a post with the flag on a video, or tap Share and then Report. You can also report Drops, comments, profiles, pages and conversations. Block or mute a person from the menu on their profile: a block hides you from each other, and a mute only affects their Drops.

Pause My Account hides your account from everyone else without deleting anything, and you stay signed in. Come back by tapping Reactivate on the banner at the top of the app. Signing in again does not un-pause you.

Settings > Delete Account hides your account right away and erases it for good 30 days later. Sign back in before that date and everything is restored.

Settings > Privacy > Allow downloads decides whether other people can save your Public videos and share them to other apps as a file. You can change it for one post under Share > Downloads. Downloads off is not copy protection.

Settings > Notifications has a Push Notifications switch and a Notification Preferences screen. There you choose which events notify you: Messages, Likes, New Followers, Poll Votes, Drop Replies, Nearby Drops and Originator Status Changes. The iPhone's own permission for Pamojah lives in the iPhone Settings app.

Pamojah can only notify you when your iPhone allows notifications for Pamojah and the switch for that kind of alert is on in the app. Check the iPhone setting first, then Pamojah's own switches.

Placing a Drop and seeing Drops near you need your iPhone's location. If it is off, tap Open Settings where Pamojah says so, then choose While Using the App under Location. Choose Always if you want Nearby Drops alerts while the app is closed.

On the Log In screen, enter your email or username and your password. "Invalid credentials" means one of them is wrong. If you forgot your password, tap "Forgot password?" and Pamojah emails you a code to choose a new one.
