Some photos are meant for one person
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 you already have
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.
What Underlock does
- Encrypted on your iPhone. Every photo is encrypted on your iPhone before it’s saved. We, the people who make Underlock, never receive your files, your pattern or your keys.
- Straight from the camera to your vault. Photos you take in Underlock skip the Photos app, so iCloud Photos never sees them.
- Asks before anything leaves. Underlock asks before you share a photo, because Underlock can’t protect the copy you share.
