About Latent Photos: Review & Tag
Latent Photos is a calmer app for the photo library you already have. It opens your Apple Photos library as it is: nothing to import, nothing uploaded, and every change lands back in Apple Photos and syncs through your iCloud as usual. You get a quiet, fast place to look at your photos, plus the things the built-in app never had: go through your library a set at a time, see near-duplicates side by side, and tag photos into real albums. JUST YOUR PHOTOS A fast grid with nothing between you and your photos, newest at the bottom like Apple Photos. Videos and Live Photos play right in the viewer. Filter by tag, media type and period, sort newest, oldest or random, and group by day. Share a photo, or a whole selection, to any app. YOUR LIBRARY, A SET AT A TIME The Review tab deals a set of photos you haven't looked at yet, from 10 to 300, newest, oldest or random. Keep, tag or delete as you go. Your place is kept across relaunches, your review marks follow you to your other devices, and every review shows what you kept, tagged and deleted. An overwhelming library becomes a five-minutes-a-day habit. SIMILAR SHOTS, SIDE BY SIDE The Similar tab gathers near-duplicates from across your whole library: burst leftovers, retakes, almost-twins. Open any photo and its similar shots line up in the filmstrip. Drag one slider between two shots and keep the better one. You decide, not an algorithm. Deleted photos go to Apple's Recently Deleted, so nothing is lost by accident. TAGS THAT BECOME ALBUMS Tag photos with a flick. Every tag becomes a real album in Apple Photos, synced through iCloud, so your categories show up on all your devices and stay yours even without the app. Prefer tags that live only in the app? One switch. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device, using Apple's on-device Vision framework. No accounts, no tracking, no servers of ours: nothing is ever sent to us. Your review progress is kept in your own iCloud. The App Privacy label says Data Not Collected. Lock the app with Face ID if you like. ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION Every feature is unlocked from day one. After a week and some real use, a single Lifetime Unlock keeps it all, including future updates. No subscription, no ads. Downloaded version 1.0? Everything stays free for you, as promised. Latent Photos works on your Apple Photos library, so editing, People and Memories are still in Apple Photos whenever you want them. Fully localized in 24 languages.

What’s new
Version 2.0 · Updated October 15, 2026
Latent Photos 2.0: a Review tab to work through your library a set at a time, a Similar tab that groups near-duplicates from across your whole library, and your progress kept in your own iCloud. Already unlocked? Your unlock carries over, nothing to buy again. NEW • Review: open View and pick the Review tab. It deals a set of unreviewed photos (Newest, Oldest or Random, 10 to 300 at a time) and keeps your place across relaunches. The grid title offers "Resume", then the "Next" set, and "Stats" shows what each review kept, tagged and deleted. • Similar: the View page's Similar tab turns your grid into groups of similar shots from across the library, Strict or Balanced, newest or largest first. Tap any photo and the viewer opens already comparing its group. • Share: send the photo you're viewing, or your selection, to Messages, Mail, AirDrop or any app. It's in the viewer's "…" menu, and next to Delete in Select. • Sync with iCloud: reviewed marks, resets, review stats and your tags' colors, covers and order follow you to your other devices through your own iCloud, and survive a reinstall. Nothing is sent to us. It is on by default, with its own switch in Settings. Using more than one device? Update them all to 2.0. • Require Face ID: lock the app behind Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode, from Settings. • Report a problem: Settings, Help & feedback can email us a short report on slowdowns and errors. You read it first, and nothing is sent unless you send it. • Landscape on iPhone: the filmstrip and buttons move to a side column, so the photo gets the full height. • Each similar shot shows its size and format under the title and in Compare, so you can tell which copy to keep. • A short tip the first time you use Similar, Pin, Compare, Tags or the review corner. CHANGED • Mark a photo reviewed by tapping the top right corner of its thumbnail, in the grid or the filmstrip. The viewer's Review button is gone. • The viewer's buttons are now Delete, Info, Similar, Tags. In Similar mode, Pin and Compare sit in the photo's own bottom corners. • Swipe down closes one layer at a time: tags, then Similar, then your selection. • "Sort & Filter" is now "View", with All, Review and Similar tabs, and the year and month chips became a Period slider. • The two helper albums "Latent Photos Reviewed" and "Latent Photos Unreviewed" are retired. Once your marks are in iCloud, the app offers to remove them. Your photos are not touched. • After the free trial, the Similar tab needs the unlock, like Compare and tagging. FIXED • A tap between the photo and the filmstrip no longer hides the controls. • The Info sheet no longer shows empty headings or the camera maker twice, and no longer spins on a photo kept only in iCloud. • Music you were playing resumes when a video ends, and a muted video no longer interrupts it. • After a long time in the background, the app recovers if Apple Photos stops answering. • iPad: in a resized window, the grid, filmstrip and viewer fit the window.
