When you first open Factum you will see a Story Mix playing in the app home, it's made up of all the group stories from all the groups you’re a member of. As new group stories are added through each day you will see them playing in full screen behind the Group sheet, use this sheet to create or navigate to groups. Dismiss the group list by swiping down and sit back and celebrate the achievements of all the groups you’re a member of!

While in the app Home you can also access the settings (top right) and calendar view of all the events you have taken part of - perfect to find the photos from a past event easily.

A group consists of members, group chat, group stories and events.

We’re all about achieving things together and nothing says that more than groups. At the heart of Factum is groups and the groups you’re a member of. Think of a group the same as that WhatsApp group you organize the Saturday morning run or ride with but so much more!

Instant messaging similar to WhatsApp is part of every Factum group. As we evolve the Factum App we will also do the same for instant messaging.

You can access messages from each group you are a member of from each group home page at the top. You will notice the last message sent to the group as the preview.

Currently we don't support the uploading of video into instant messaging (photos are fine). We do support links to videos on YouTube and other services though which will render a preview thumbnail. If the video is that good add it to a Group Story!
