Unfortunately you won’t be able to tell if someone has watched a Marco Polo you sent to them. That’s due to the fact that when someone watches a Marco Polo, the app doesn’t send a notification or anything to let you know they’ve watched it.
The only real way to know if someone has watched your Marco Polo is if they respond directly to you in some way – either with a follow-up video, reaction emoji, or by sending you an audio or text message after.
Additionally, if you send a particular person multiple Marco Polos and they never seem to respond then it could be an indicator that they haven’t watched them.
How do I turn off active status on Marco Polo?
To turn off active status on Marco Polo, you need to sign into the Marco Polo app with your email address or phone number, then go to the ‘Settings’ located in the upper right-hand corner of the app.
Once in ‘Settings’, tap on the ‘Active Status’ section, and there you should be able to switch the toggle off, which will stop you from being seen as active on Marco Polo. Additionally, you can also choose between a few different active status settings, such as ‘expire after 24 hours’, ‘expire after 2 weeks’, and ‘turn off permanently’.
Choosing any option other than ‘turn off permanently’ will still show you as active on Marco Polo, just with a timer of sorts. That said, if you wish to be completely unseen on Marco Polo, it’s best to select ‘turn off permanently’.
Can someone block you on Marco Polo?
Yes, absolutely. Marco Polo allows users the ability to block another user if they no longer want to interact with them. To block someone on Marco Polo, you can open their profile, tap the ellipsis in the top right-hand corner, and select ‘Block user’.
Doing this will remove the blocked user from your contacts, and you will no longer receive messages from them or be able to respond to messages they might’ve already sent. You can also unblock people on Marco Polo by going to the blocked user profile again, tapping the ellipsis, and ‘Unblock user’.
It’s important to note that it’s not possible to tell someone you have blocked them on Marco Polo.
How long does Marco Polo Keep videos?
Marco Polo allows you to keep videos from other people for as long as you like. When it comes to your own videos, there is no hard and fast rule – the default setting is to keep videos until you manually delete them, but you can also set a time limit of 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month for automatic deletion of your videos.
Can you delete a Marco Polo before someone sees it?
Yes, you can delete a Marco Polo before someone sees it. To do so, you’ll need to open the message in the Marco Polo app and select the “Delete” option from the menu. This will remove the Marco Polo from the conversation, and it will no longer be visible to anyone else in the chat.
Keep in mind, however, that even if you delete a Marco Polo before someone sees it, it is still possible for them to have seen it in the past if they had previously opened the conversation. Therefore, if you want to be sure that a certain message is not seen by anyone, you should consider checking the “Hide in Screenshot” option before you send it.
What happens if you delete a chat on Marco Polo?
If you delete a chat on Marco Polo, all content associated with the chat – including messages and videos – will be removed from the Marco Polo app. This includes any messages or videos that you have sent or received.
You won’t be able to restore or recover the content or chat after it has been deleted. Keep in mind that the other participants in the chat may still have copies of any messages and videos that had been sent or received, so it’s best to delete any chat with information that you don’t want to share publicly before deleting it from the app.
How is Marco Polo different from Whatsapp?
Marco Polo is very different from WhatsApp. Whereas WhatsApp is a messaging app that primarily functions to allow users to send text messages, images, videos, and audio messages, Marco Polo offers users a unique platform to communicate through video messages.
Marco Polo allows users to easily share video messages back and forth without a time limit, making it easy for users to share stories and updates. Additionally, Marco Polo also provides users with “Real Talk” video chat rooms that allow up to 32 people to join in real-time.
These chat rooms don’t have recordings, allowing complete privacy. Marco Polo also provides users with “Polo Plus”, an optional subscription to access polls, challenges, and other features for a more interactive experience among friends.
WhatsApp, on the other hand, does not offer these features, and primarily focuses on providing users with a way to send messages to one another in a private and secure way.
Is Marco Polo free to use?
No, Marco Polo is not free to use. There is a subscription cost to use Marco Polo’s services which includes access to their messaging app and unlimited video messaging. To get access to the free version, users need to sign-up for the Basic Plan for $4.99/month.
This will provide users with access to all the same features as the paid plans, including one-on-one video messaging with unlimited group messaging, group video messages of up to three people, and unique backdrops.
Users can also upgrade to the Advanced Plan for $9.99/month for access to additional features, including the ability to doodle, create voice and text polls, and use custom emojis.
What happened to my old Marco Polo videos?
Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to the question of what happened to your old Marco Polo videos. The app stores them on their servers, and if you have not subscribed recently or updated your account, your old videos may no longer be accessible.
Additionally, if the app is no longer supported, your videos may not be available. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to recover old videos, and unfortunately the only way to access them would be to re-subscribe in hopes your videos will be restored.
If you have backed up your videos to a cloud storage service such as iCloud or Google Drive, you may be able to access them that way. However, it is best practice to back up your videos as often as possible to guarantee you’ll have access to them in the future.
Does deleting Marco Polo delete messages?
Yes, deleting Marco Polo will delete all conversations and associated messages. All of the conversations you have will be archived or deleted when you delete the app, so it is best to save any content or conversations you would like to keep before deleting the app.
Once Marco Polo has been deleted, all messages, videos, and photos associated with it will be permanently erased.
Do Marco Polo videos get deleted?
No, Marco Polo videos are not deleted. Marco Polo is an app that allows users send video messages that self-destruct after they are watched by their recipient. However, after a video is watched, it will no longer be visible on the app, but can still be seen by downloading it to a device before it self-destructs.
MarcosPolo also provides an optional feature, ‘Save to Memories’, in which users can save their Marco Polo videos to their device or Camera Roll, creating a backup and preventing the video from being lost.
