LivePost launches public web links for posts

One link, available on the web

On May 15, we released public web links for LivePost posts. Anyone who receives a link to a publicly shared LivePost can now open it in a browser, without installing the app or signing in first.

A shared memory often includes people who use different devices and communicate in different ways. The link gives everyone a common starting point: open it, understand what was shared, and return to it later from the same address.

Designed for the people receiving a post

The web experience presents the media and context that make a LivePost meaningful. A recipient can follow the story from the link itself, while people who already use LivePost can continue into the app for a fuller experience.

This makes a LivePost easier to share in messages, email, or anywhere else a normal web link can travel. The person receiving it does not need to prepare anything before opening the post.

Sharing remains intentional

Public web links do not make every LivePost public. The person who creates a post still chooses how it is shared. Posts shared publicly can be viewed from their link, while restricted posts continue to respect their access settings.

This balance is important to the product: sharing should feel as easy as sending a link, without losing the choices that protect personal memories.

What comes next

We will keep improving how posts look and behave across phones and desktop browsers, how reliably media loads, and how the browser and LivePost app work together. Public web links are a foundation for making connected memory useful beyond a single device or app.
