Tinybeans, a private photo-sharing and journaling app for parents, has acquired the parenting website Red Tricycle. Thanks to this acquisition, the brand has announced that it will be introducing "sweeping customization" to all its platforms and will launch a new "safe video social community" for families.
Up until now, Tinybeans has offered users a safe platform to capture, organize, and share images of their children, allowing parents to document their kids' lives in a protected and completely customizable space. Now the company has introduced a new video component allowing for a richer media experience through the app. In addition, the company's updates will focus even further on improving the app's privacy and personalization features.
"I want Tinybeans to be a place where every family feels welcome and heard. We are cutting through the parenting noise with genuinely helpful, relatable content that tackles the fun, challenging, and somehow always messy sides of family life head-on," said Head of Editorial Lauren DuVilla.
