World By People is a living world map created by people themselves.
Here, photos and short videos become part of real places. Explore the map, discover the world through other people’s eyes, and leave your mark wherever life takes you.
BUILD THE MAP TOGETHER
Every post captures a real moment connected to a specific place.
A city street, a favourite café, a famous landmark, a small village, or a remote corner of nature — show others how you see it.
Together, these moments create a living map filled with events, emotions, and perspectives from people around the world.
CLAIM MAP SECTORS
The map is divided into sectors approximately 100 × 100 metres in size.
With your permission, the app detects your current location and displays the corresponding sector. Take a photo or record a short video of up to 20 seconds, and your post will appear on the map where it was created.
You can claim an available sector with the first post. If a sector is already occupied, you can compete for it according to the app’s rules and add your own moment to the map.
EXPLORE THE WORLD
Discover photos and videos near you or explore other cities and countries on the map.
See what is happening in familiar places, find interesting locations, and experience the world through the eyes of people who are actually there.
Like posts and join conversations in the comments. What matters here is not only people’s reactions, but also the place, time, and story behind every image.
COMPETE IN BATTLES
Challenge other participants, claim new sectors, and rise through the daily and monthly rankings.
The most active participants earn rewards and become a visible part of the project’s history.
UNLOCK MORE FEATURES
