About On This Day: Photo Widget
On This Day finds photos you took on today's date in earlier years and puts one in a widget on your Home Screen. One photo a day is free. Full Version is a single purchase and unlocks a gallery of up to five photos a day. PHOTO SELECTION On This Day looks through every earlier year in your library for today's date. It scores what it finds using Apple's Vision framework, entirely on your device, and picks the best photo from each year, so the day's set reaches back across the years. Years with your Favourites come first, and screenshots are excluded. HIDE WHAT YOU'D RATHER NOT SEE Hide a photo from the photo viewer, or hide whole dates and albums in Settings. Hidden photos stay hidden in the app and on your widgets, and photos in your Hidden album never appear. Hiding is free. WIDGET SIZES Small and large Home Screen widgets, plus a Lock Screen widget. The large widget shows how many years ago the photo was taken. THEMES Four looks for the widget, from a vintage TV to a plain frame. Tap any theme to preview it with today's photo before you choose. FREE • One photo from this day in an earlier year • Small and large Home Screen widgets, and a Lock Screen widget • Two themes, the vintage TV and a plain frame • Hide photos, dates and albums • Tap through to see the photo full-screen FULL VERSION — A ONE-TIME PURCHASE • Up to five photos a day, rotating from midday into the evening • Page through the day's whole set in the app • Pin a photo to hold it on the widget until midnight • Two more themes, Mixtape and Pocket PRIVACY Everything happens on your device. On This Day needs no account and uses no cloud. Your photos never leave your device. No tracking, analytics or cloud-based algorithms are ever used. If today's date has no photos, the previous set stays on the widget.
