The latest Simple Booth® app update expedites photo delivery for a frictionless social sharing experience. As we redesigned the social flow, we also wanted to push the boundaries of what it means to receive your photos from Simple Booth.

We took a lot of feedback into consideration and made many improvements for both our customers who set up the booth and their guests who enjoy and share their photos. Most importantly, our delivery and social sharing experience had an opportunity to be simplified and we seized the opportunity to stand behind our name—Simple Booth!

Galleries make the fun last

The digital photo booth experience doesn’t end at the photo booth. It continues on guests’ phones through the Gallery, live during the event and long after it’s over.

If you have a retail store or venue with a photo booth, the experience goes beyond a single visit. Traditional booths delivered paper prints, but modern booths deliver digital Galleries that guests can access, share, and return to anytime.

Even months later the event host and guests can view the photos again and relive or re-share the moments. Photos are uploaded to the online Galleries in real-time giving you the opportunity to share in the moment or save for the next day.

Real-time & mobile-first

Mobile is where it’s at. With most Simple Booth Gallery views happening on phones, we designed the new Galleries to feel fast, social, and fun to use.

Infinite scrolling loads new images as you go, while real-time updates keep the feed fresh so guests can instantly see new moments pop up.

You can tap into full-screen mode to view a single photo, then swipe effortlessly back into the Gallery feed to keep browsing.

Branded Gallery

It’s easy to toggle between different grid views of your photos and filter based on what you want to see, from most popular to even finding photos on a specific date for galleries that span a longer time period.

Almost all Simple Booth Gallery views occur on mobile devices, so we optimized the new Galleries to be mobile-first.

When you set up your event with Simple Booth HALO, you can select a delivery option between text message or email. Guests are then given the choice to enter their phone number or email, based on your preset, and receive a link to their photo immediately that takes them to the Gallery experience.

From the Gallery, guests can easily share to Facebook, Instagram, X, or LinkedIn. We’ve also added new delivery methods—QR code, AirDrop, and Picture Message for Instagram—so guests have even more ways to access and share their photos.

We spent a lot of time improving the end-user Gallery experience for your guests, but we also made sure it’s simple for you to set up and manage.

Instead of being tied to the desktop dashboard, you can easily access your account from a mobile browser while viewing the Gallery the same way your guests do. Catch any typos before your event goes live, tweak your title or hashtag, or moderate photos on the fly without digging through settings.

Galleries connect your photo booth to the world

The impact of Galleries become massive when you start networking multiple photo booths into one online experience. A single Gallery can stream photos from one or more activations happening in multiple locations at the same time. The Gallery connects and curates a rich media experience that brings people together for a rewarding and sentimental look at your event.

An example of this is the Austin Startup crawl, where six HALO’s were running simultaneously at different startups across the city. Talk about some fun photo booth ideas!

Is HALO right for you?

The new Galleries come with great features for everyone. But if you’re using HALO, you’ll unlock advanced options to customize the viewing experience and go beyond the standard Simple Booth design.

For brands and agencies, HALO delivers the most customizable brand experience—allowing you to set background colors, add clickable top and bottom graphics of your choice, and fine-tune privacy settings to fit your event or campaign goals.
