A new photo-sharing app called Flashes has launched in beta, but vanished from the test store due to technical difficulties. Developed by Sebastian Vogelsang and linked to X-alternative Bluesky, Flashes allows users to post up to four images or one-minute videos. Posts will also appear on Bluesky, where comments can be replied to. This move could attract users looking for an alternative to Meta’s social media ecosystem.
The app has gained interest among testers, with 3,500 users signing up within its first hour. However, the sign-up form for Flashes beta is still live, indicating that Vogelsang may have decided to keep it open. Apple’s engineering team is reportedly working on a fix, but no comment from the company was received.
