Keep WhatsApp for the quick ping
“Running late.” “Which platform?” “Love you, call you later.” Chat still wins for that. AmongFolk is for the photos of the day, the address for Sunday, and the birthday messages you want to open again.
Alternative to WhatsApp groups
When the group chat is full, and the photos are gone.
WhatsApp is brilliant for the next five minutes. AmongFolk is a private place to keep the photos, find the plan and come back to what people said, without digging through months of chat.
Invitation only
Always chronological
No adverts
01 / The snag with group chats
Chats are for now. Groups need a place to keep things.
A busy WhatsApp group is easy to mute and hard to search. Photos vanish under stickers. The Sunday plan is three screens back. AmongFolk keeps the day in order, inside a group only the people you invite can see.
-
Photos and replies, in the order they happened
Post a photo, a short video or a few words. Everything stays chronological, with replies alongside it. Nothing is ranked to keep you scrolling.
-
Plans you can find again
Put the next get-together in the diary. One-off events are free. Date polls and recurring plans come with Plus, so you are not chasing “does Saturday still work?” in the chat.
-
Private by design
Invitation only. No public profile, no discovery feed, no adverts. What you share stays with the people in that group.
One host. Everyone else free
Create a group, invite by private link or QR code, and share the first moment. People join on Free, Plus or Together depending on what the host chooses. Guests never pay to be there.
Plans
Start free. Bring everyone with you.
One person hosts. Everyone they invite joins free. Current prices for Plus and Together are shown in the app.
Try Plus for 30 days, with no card and no automatic charge.
02 / Be honest
When WhatsApp is still the better choice
Stay in the chat if you need…
- Instant back-and-forth all day, for everyone already on WhatsApp
- Voice or video calls built into the same thread
- SMS-style delivery for people who will not install another app
- A huge broadcast list rather than a small private group
AmongFolk is for groups that want a quieter home for everyday life, not a replacement for every message you send.
A few things you might be wondering
Before you move the photos out of the chat.
Is AmongFolk a messaging app?
No. AmongFolk is a private group for everyday life: photos, voice notes, plans and little keepsakes. Use WhatsApp when you need a quick back-and-forth. Use AmongFolk when you want those moments to stay findable.
Can we keep using WhatsApp as well?
Yes. Many groups still ping each other in WhatsApp for “on my way” messages, and put the photos, plans and longer updates in AmongFolk.
Who can see what we share?
Only the people in that AmongFolk group. There is no public profile, no search, and no staff screen for browsing posts.
Do people I invite have to pay?
No. One person hosts. Everyone they invite joins free. The host chooses Free, Plus or Together.
Life, a little closer.
Ready for a quieter group?
Start on Free. Keep WhatsApp for the pings. Give the photos and plans a place that lasts.
