When creating a VSCO profile, youвЂ™ll be asked to enter a Username, Description, External Link, First and Last name, and e-mail address.

I always suggest limiting location sharing to only those who need to know. Otherwise anyone who stumbles upon your photo will be able to see where the photo was taken.

Then make sure that the PRIVACY page looks like this (all the options are deselected):.

Click this little circular icon at the bottom which takes you to the settings.

One privacy feature worth noting, is that you can choose not to include location data within images, either for pictures you capture with the app, or those that you import or export. Profile links will use the pattern .ДЇrom within the app itself, there is an вЂњExploreвЂќ feature where you can view photos from random users, or search by name or username. How might they happen upon one of your photos or your profile? As noted earlier many teens are posting their VSCO profile link directly in their Instagram profile area. Anyone can follow you if they happen upon one of your photos.

I did not find a way to make a profile private. This wasВ readilyВ observed duringВ an Instagram search for the hashtag #vsco вЂ“ 72,817,000 posts! And 109,909,984 tagged with #vscocam. SomeВ use the app just to edit and use the filters, then share to otherВ social networks such as Instagram. I actually did this by mistake вЂ“ oops вЂ“ and the originator of that photo did receive a notification (yep, my daughter). You can easily share someone elseвЂ™s photo too вЂ“ not just your own. Or you can saveВ the photo from VSCO to your phoneвЂ™s photo library, then upload it to Instagram or anywhere else. This can be done directly from the app using the appвЂ™s sharing options. WhileВ there isВ no direction interaction within the app, you can easily share a photo from VSCO to other networks for that social commentary. She mentioned that on VSCO, not as many people she knows will see it вЂ“ perhaps giving her a bit more freedom to experiment with her photos, without judgement. Since my daughter uses this app I asked her what would make her want to share a photo to VSCO and not Instagram. This is even part of the app description: вЂњBecause beautiful imagery trumps social clout, the number of followers, comments, and likes are absent from the platformвЂќ.ДЄnd that might be a reason that teens are starting to use VSCO. The emphasis is on great looking photos and not how many likes or comments you can get. VSCO seems to have a reputation for more вЂњseriousвЂќ photography enthusiasts. There are no вЂњlikesвЂќ, there is no commenting on photos. A key difference between VSCO and Instagram is that there is limited social interaction.

They also sell presets (collections of filters for editing) for use in photo editing software programs. The app was launched in 2012 by Visual Supply Company. VSCO, also called VSCO Cam, is a photography app where you can create an account and upload or take photos, edit and add filters, and share them with other VSCO users or on other social media sites. Have you seen links to a website called вЂњвЂќ in your kidвЂ™s Instagram profile or that of their friends? If not you might soon and youвЂ™ll be like me, wondering, what the heck is VSCO? As is my nature, I immediately clicked the links, visited the website and downloaded VSCO to see what this photo app is all about.
