# Dedicated Selfie Apps 'Selfie' is an App for Selfies Where You Can Connect with Other Photo Lovers By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-07-28 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/app-for-selfies References: [engadget](http://www.engadget.com/2014/07/28/new-photo-app-is-all-selfies-all-the-time/) & [getselfies](http://getselfies.com/) As you might expect from its simple name, 'Selfies' is a dedicated Android app for selfies with one large feed showing all of the photos taken with the app. The Selfies app is a project by [Automattic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/livebox), the same company responsible for Gravatar and [Wordpress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aiohm). Since you're able to upload photos, add captions and react to content by other users with your own images, the app is like a cross that's somewhere between [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instagram-edits) and Snapchat. The app is extremely new and was developed over the course of a few weeks, so for now, the only way to browse content is a through the one large feed, although there are plans for better filtration soon. If you're someone who would consider themselves a little selfie-obsessed, this is one community that would benefit from having you constantly post content—plus, it's totally free to download. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Dedicated Selfie Apps:** The rise of dedicated selfie apps creates opportunities for innovative social media platforms to emerge. - **Selfie Communities:** Selfie apps that facilitate community building among avid selfie-takers create opportunities for brand promotions and user-generated content campaigns. - **Photo-centric Social Networks:** Selfie apps that offer a cross between Instagram and Snapchat present opportunities for the emergence of photo-centric social networks that cater to niche audiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Social Media:** Social media companies can leverage dedicated selfie apps to tap into younger demographics and expand their user base. - **Mobile App Development:** Mobile app developers can capitalize on the growing trend of dedicated selfie apps by innovating new features and functionalities that cater to niche audiences. - **Digital Marketing:** The rise of selfie communities offers digital marketers opportunities to tap into user-generated content campaigns that rely on image-sharing for product promotions and brand advocacy. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI Selfie Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roast-my-selfie.md) - [Private Social Photo Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-app.md) - [Creative Photo Communities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hipstamatic.md) - [AI Avatar Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfie-ai.md) - [Sunset-Sharing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharing-sunset.md) - [Home Screen Photo Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/locket.md) - [In-App Face Swaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swapmyface.md) - [Creative AI Editors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfyzai.md) - [Social Camera Fitness Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapfit1.md)
