“Show Now” is an app feature that allows you to select a photo or video and display it on a frame. It’s a great way to feel connected with someone, plus you get the satisfaction of seeing the item on the frame.
Show Now works a little differently depending on your frame:
- Ink frames (US only): Show Now sends photos only, over Bluetooth, and you need to be where the frame is.
- All other Aura frames: Show Now sends photos and videos, over Wi-Fi, and you can be anywhere.
How to use "Show Now"
- Open the Aura Frames app and select the correct frame.
- Open the “Photos” section and tap the photo or video you want to view full screen. Ink frames display photos only, so videos can’t be sent to an Ink frame.
- Tap the “Show Now” icon in the lower-left corner.
- The item then displays on your frame.
Note: Show Now is not available while a frame is in gift mode.
Show Now on Ink frames (US Only)
Show Now on Ink frames uses Bluetooth, so you need to be where your Ink frame is to use it. Ink frames display photos only, so Show Now works with photos, not videos. Expect a short lag before the photo appears.
Show Now on all other Aura frames
Show Now on all other Aura frames sends the photo or video to the frame over Wi-Fi, so you don’t have to be in the same location as the frame. It's a great way to surprise family members near and far to let them know you're thinking of them! You can use Show Now regardless of where you are or which Wi-Fi network you’re on.
Note: The Aura app shows you which photo is currently being displayed.
If the Wi-Fi connection is not strong enough on either the frame or your device, the photo may take longer to display. It will still be selected for display; it just might take a few seconds to appear on the frame.
