Social Feed Page

The page where you and your attendees post, comment and like. Also the basis for Announcements and Crowd Pics.

Written by Cyril Fluck

A Social Feed page is your app's own private feed, where you and your attendees post updates, photos and videos, and comment on each other's posts.

Three phone screens showing the same page type set up three ways: text posts only, a grid of photos, and text with photos.

When you add one, it starts out like this:

  • Everyone who has your app can post

  • Comments and likes are on

  • Posts appear as a list, newest first

  • A notification goes out when somebody posts

All of those are settings you can change, and to see them all in one place read our Getting Started with Social Feed Pages Guide.

It is also the basis for two other pages

Announcements and Crowd Pics in the page picker are Social Feed pages that start with different settings — Announcements is admins-only with notifications on every post, Crowd Pics is a photo grid with comments off.

Because they are the same page type, you are not choosing permanently. Pick whichever starting point is closest to what you want and change the settings from there. You can also add several of these pages and set each one up differently, such as an admins-only page for announcements alongside an open one for conversation.

Adding a Social Feed page

Go to Add Page in the Editor and choose Social Feed.

Posts are written in the Yapp app on a phone or tablet, not in the online editor. Follow these instructions.
