Guest access
Join depends on chat invites and personal phone habits.

Guests join through QR code or event code directly in the browser.
Keep event photos in a gallery instead of a group chat
A group chat works for quick messages. A dedicated event gallery structures access, visibility, and the later photo export.
Where a typical group chat reaches its limits
- Photos end up spread across private chats and individual devices.
- Hosts cannot control what becomes visible or how access is shared.
- Downloading, sorting, and archiving everything afterwards is messy.

Privacy and moderation
Little control once the chat is active.
Fotospiel
Private gallery, optional PIN, and moderation before photos go live.
Live event experience
The event itself does not gain a shared live gallery moment.
Fotospiel
Uploads, reactions, and slideshow become part of the event flow.
After the event
Exporting and cleaning up the photo set is manual and fragmented.
Fotospiel
Favorites, ZIP export, and your archive stay in one place.
When a dedicated event gallery fits
- You want all guest photos in one private event gallery.
- You need moderation, controlled access, or a cleaner GDPR position.
- You want the gallery to work during the event, not only after it.
When WhatsApp may still be enough
- Very small private circles where no moderation or export matters.
- No need for a live gallery, slideshow, or shared event activation.
- No issue if photos remain scattered and hard to reuse later.
