Your medical and progress photos are nobody’s business
What to do
Underlock is coming soon to the App Store. Here’s how it will work.
For new photos
- In Underlock, tap the Add button (a plus sign), then Take photo or video.
For photos already in your camera roll
Importing puts a copy of each photo in your vault. The originals stay in the Photos app until you remove them.
- In Underlock, tap Add, then Import from Photos.
- Choose the photos.
- Keep Underlock open until the import finishes.
- When the import finishes, Underlock asks whether to remove the originals from the Photos app. Tap Remove.
- When iOS asks to delete the originals, confirm. The originals move to Recently Deleted in the Photos app.
- While the originals are in Recently Deleted, check that the photos are in your vault.
- To remove the originals for good, delete the originals from Recently Deleted. Until then, Recently Deleted keeps the originals for 30 days. After 30 days, the originals are gone for good.
For notes about symptoms or medicine
- In Underlock, tap Add, then New note.
What Underlock does
- Straight from the camera to your vault. Photos you take in Underlock skip the Photos app, so iCloud Photos never sees them.
- Folders, with private names. Group each set of photos in a folder. Folder and file names are encrypted along with your photos.
- Keyboard suggestions off in notes. In Underlock’s notes, keyboard suggestions stay off unless you turn them on in Underlock’s settings.
