Myseum Debuts 'Picture Party by Myseum' Social Media Platform with iOS Beta Launch
New instant private social networking technology designed to make it easier, more fun and private to share photos and videos
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., Dec. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Myseum, Inc. (NASDAQ:MYSE) ("Myseum" or the "Company"), today announces its launch of Picture Party by Myseum, a new instant social networking and social sharing platform designed to address growing concerns around content control, security, and intentional digital connection. The platform was developed to capitalize on the widespread need for a more controlled and purposeful way to share photos and videos—one that solves persistent privacy and ownership challenges not adequately addressed by existing social media offerings.
Picture Party by Myseum is currently available for download in the iOS app store with Android expected to be released before year end. A use case video can be seen here.
Picture Party by Myseum introduces a new way to make sharing your photos and videos easier, a lot more fun and private. Picture party is much more than a shared album; it's a complete personal and private social network with a live feed that updates instantly as all your guests' posts. You can share a post with dozens of pictures, comment and react. It even organizes your photos in an album, or you can relive the Picture Party with all the comments and posts as they happened. Unlike group chats that are unorganized, no matter when you join the Picture Party, you can see everything from the beginning. Picture Party makes it easier and more fun to share with the people right next to you, or anywhere in the world.
Picture Party solves everyday sharing frustrations by eliminating the common headaches of modern photo sharing:
- No more passing around your phone for others to view your photos and videos.
- No more crowds gathering over your shoulder to see a clip.
- No more debating whether to text, drop, email, or tag group photos.
- No more struggling with social media privacy, data exposure, or AI training risks.
Whether you're at a family gathering, wedding, sporting event, vacation, concert, school function, or business meeting, everyone becomes a photographer, and no moment is missed. Instantly share group shots without ever chasing people for their copies again.
How it works:
Picture Party lets users instantly create private, encrypted spaces — called Picture Parties — to share photos and videos in curated, personal feeds.
Users can:
- Create unlimited Picture Parties.
- Invite anyone via text, QR code, or in-app invite.
- Launch a Picture Party (a timed or ongoing shared event) in under a minute.
- Add titles, comments, and reactions to posts.
- Maintain complete control over privacy, interaction settings, and who can view or contribute.
Privacy:
The only people that can see your pictures are the ones who you invited to the picture party. All your media and texts are private and encrypted. You decide if pictures can be saved by your guests or who can invite people to the party.
"Picture Party by Myseum was built to address a clear gap in today's social media landscape—where users are increasingly concerned about privacy, content control, and how their personal moments are shared," said Darin Myman, Chief Executive Officer of Myseum. "By combining time-bound events, user-specific media permissions, and a simple, intuitive experience, we are redefining how users engage around shared moments."
Importantly, the technology underpinning Picture Party by Myseum is supported by a newly allowed U.S. patent. The patent covers the core personal and private social networking architecture behind Picture Party by Myseum and represents a significant milestone in Myseum's intellectual property strategy. The Company believes the new IP is foundational to a new category of private social interaction and a key driver of long-term platform value.
Following the initial iOS beta launch, Myseum plans to expand Picture Party by Myseum to Android devices before year-end, broadening platform accessibility and supporting continued user adoption across mobile ecosystems.
