In a recent announcement, location app startup Highlight has revealed that it has launched a new app called 'Shorts.' The app is initially being released only on the Apple iOS platform; but an Android version of the app will also likely be released in the near future.

The basic concept of the new Shorts app by Highlights is the same as that of the original location-based meetup service, but with a tweak to the location technology --- the key focus of the new app is on the camera roll of the users' mobile devices.

Highlights has described the Shorts app as the "most personal sharing experience," which gives people a peek at the users' most raw and intimate look while still maintaining a shred of privacy.

The Shorts app essentially shows the users the photos, videos -- up to 15-second duration -- and screenshots in their mobile device's camera roll. Whenever the users use the app, they are asked to share all the content on their camera roll since they last opened the app.

If the users of the Shorts app want to share the photos, videos and screenshots on their camera roll with their friends and other contacts, they have to swipe up; and if they want to keep the content private, they have to swipe down.
