Moving photos from another vault app
Underlock is coming soon to the App Store. Here’s how moving will work.
First, save your photos and videos from the old app to the Photos app. How to save your photos out of a vault app. Until you finish step 4, anyone using your iPhone could see the photos in the Photos app, and in iCloud Photos if it’s on. So save the photos only when you can do steps 1 to 4 right away.
Open Underlock. Tap the Add button (a plus sign), then tap Import from Photos. Choose the photos and videos. Keep Underlock open until the import finishes.
Underlock asks whether to remove the photos from the Photos app, now that your vault has its own copy. Tap Remove. Confirm when your iPhone asks. The photos move to Recently Deleted, in the Photos app.
Before you delete anything for good, open your vault and check that the photos are there.
In the Photos app, delete the photos from Recently Deleted. The photos then leave iCloud Photos too. In the old app, delete the photos you moved. Then delete the old app, if you no longer need it. Deleting the old app doesn’t cancel a subscription to it.
