Walki – Walks & Steps

About Walki – Walks & Steps

• Post up to 10 photos in a single post: others swipe through them, with a counter. Each photo is cropped to a square and stripped of its place and date on the iPhone, then redrawn by the server. • Or post a video of up to 3 minutes, chosen without access to your photo library; if it is longer, Walki offers to trim it with the iOS editor. It is converted on the iPhone without its place or date, then sent in pieces, with a progress bar; after a short interruption, the upload resumes where it stopped. • A video is visible to others only once it has been prepared by Walki's server, which checks and re-encodes it. Until then, only you see it, marked "Video being prepared…". • No video starts by itself: tap it to play it, muted at first, then turn the sound on or go full screen. • Six reactions: Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Sad and Bravo. Tap "Like", or touch and hold to choose. The "Who can send me a bravo" setting applies to all of them; only the author sees who reacted. • Share another walker's "Everyone" post in your feed, with a few words if you like, if they allow it (new "Allow sharing of my public posts" setting). A share never widens its audience: anyone who cannot see the original reads "Post Unavailable". • Edit the text of your posts ("…", then "Edit Text"): others see "Edited". The previous version is kept for moderation only. • Mention your followers and the people you follow, in a post or a comment, by choosing them from a list (up to 10). Find where you were mentioned in Me > Mentions, remove yourself from a mention, or refuse mentions ("Allow mentions of me"). • Reporting a post also sends its photos or video to moderation. A person reviews every report within 24 hours. • VoiceOver announces the photo shown in an album and the length of a video. • 15-17 year olds: posts never shareable, no photos or videos in their World feed; between a 15-17 year old and an adult, mentions and reactions only if they follow each other mutually. • No notification for a reaction, a mention, a share or a ready video. The "My Data" file includes your reactions, your mentions and the previous versions of your posts. • Walks now happen on the Today screen: the map, timer and controls stay there, with no full-screen view; on the other tabs, the "Walk in progress" pill brings you back. • Expand the Today map, before or during a walk, with the button in its corner; the same button shrinks it. • The weekly leaderboard moves to Me, under Statistics. • The feed now shows posts only: walks stay on each walker's profile and in My Walks. • The active walkers box is removed: Walki 2.4 no longer shows it and no longer sends the "I am walking" signal during your walks. • Exercises > Walking: 12 walking exercises as guided sessions, a 30-day plan, a posture guide and an optional voice. Your progress stays on your iPhone. Read the precautions before your first session: this is not medical care. • Messages: delete a message for yourself or, if you wrote it, for everyone, with no time limit (the other person sees "Message deleted", or nothing at all with an older version of Walki); select several, or delete a whole conversation, removing your messages on the other side if you wish. A message deleted for everyone can still be reported, for up to 30 days, by the person who received it: Walki keeps a copy set apart, for moderation only. • The Privacy Policy and Help page describe these features; the Terms of Use cover the feed and message changes.
