A feed of where you are
Bubbles shows what people are posting near you — the roadworks, the queue at the clinic, the band playing tonight, the bus that never came. Set a home town, or let it follow you, and the feed follows with it.
Bubbles
See what your neighbourhood is talking about
Bubbles is a local feed with a 24-hour memory. Post what is happening around you, read what everyone nearby is saying, and watch it pop a day later. No profiles to keep up with, no history to live down.
Everything pops after 24 hours
Every bubble has one day to live. There is no archive, no timeline to scroll back through and nothing to dig up later. What you read is current because it is the only thing that still exists.
Nothing to keep up with
No follower counts, no streaks and no profile to curate. You post, people nearby answer, and by tomorrow it is gone.
Questions
What is Bubbles?
Bubbles is a local social feed. Every post — a bubble — is tied to where it was posted and disappears 24 hours later, so what you read is what is happening around you right now rather than what someone said last year.
Do bubbles really disappear?
Yes. A bubble pops 24 hours after it is posted and is removed from the feed. Shared links to it stop working at the same moment, which is the point: nothing you post here follows you around.
Do I need an account?
No email address, no phone number and no profile to fill in. The app signs your device in on first launch and asks only your age, so it can keep under-16s out.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Bubbles is free to download and free to use.
