FAQ

Is it free?

Yes. It’s free to download on the App Store, with no in-app purchases at this time.

Which devices are supported?

iPhone running iOS 17 or later.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Original photos, videos, and Live Photos are read only on your device. Thumbnails, previews, and most processing also happen locally.

Content only leaves your device when you share it yourself using the system share sheet.

What information is sent over the network?

To recognize place names, search places, load region outlines, and translate names, the app sends only what each request needs — such as coordinates and place keywords — to our service. Some requests use Apple's built-in geocoding instead.

This information is used only to return place results. It is never used for ads, sold, or rented.

Where is my travel data stored?

By default, everything is kept in a local database on this device.

If you turn on iCloud Backup, backups are written to this app's private container in your own iCloud account, stored and synced by Apple — never through our servers. Backups contain photo metadata and in-app records only, not the original photos or videos.

Why are some photos missing from the map?

The map only shows photos with coordinates. Common reasons a photo is missing:

  • Most mirrorless, DSLR, and action cameras have no GPS, so their photos have no location.
  • Location access was off for the Camera, or the image was saved from the web.
  • Screenshots aren't included, and only the key photo of a burst is kept.

Photos without a location are listed under Settings → Data → Unlocated Media.

Why does it show a country or city I never visited?

The most common cause is photos taken on a plane. A photo's location is the point directly below the aircraft, so countries and cities you flew over get counted as visits.

Open that destination's photo list, tap Select, choose the photos taken on the plane, then tap Hide.
