Los Angeles, right now.
Los Angeles is live on Portal. Skip the filtered highlight reels and see real LA moments as they happen, from the beach to downtown.
The first social network you can trust.
Portal is a camera-only social app: every photo and video is filmed live inside the app and tagged to the place it was taken. No uploads, no filters from a camera roll, no AI, no bots — just real people showing you what’s actually happening in Los Angeles right now. Posts expire after 48 hours, so the feed is always what’s happening now, and everyone competes on school, city, state and national leaderboards.
- 100% camera-only — nothing can be uploaded or faked
- School vs school — every post counts for your high school or college
- Students-only side that only verified students can see
- Leaderboards just launched, so top spots are wide open

Why Los Angeles needs a real feed
Every guide to Los Angeles shows you the same stock photos. What they can’t show you is which spots in Los Angeles are actually worth leaving the house for right now.
Portal flips that. Posts in the Los Angeles portal are filmed live and tagged where they happen, so you can check Venice Beach, Santa Monica or Hollywood the way you’d check the weather — and see the real thing, posted minutes ago.
And because Portal just launched, Los Angeles’s leaderboard is genuinely open: the people posting from California today are the ones who’ll own the top spots when everyone else shows up.
