About
Flashback shows you the photos you took on today's date in past years, one year at a time.
Open the app and see what you were doing on this day 1, 5 or 10 years ago. Each year gets a big year number, how long ago it was, and a neat grid of that day's photos.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Today: photos from this date in every past year, newest year first.
• Calendar: pick any other day. Days with more photos show a darker shade, so you can spot the big days at a glance.
• Full screen viewer: swipe through a day, pinch to zoom, heart a photo or share it.
• Favorites: every photo you heart, in one place.
• Albums: select photos and make an album. Share it through any app, or save it as a real album in Photos.
• Daily reminder: one gentle note a day, at a time you choose, and only on days that have photos.
• Hide a date: keep a hard day out of the app. No reminder, no shade on the calendar.
• Home screen widget: a photo from this day in a past year, a new one every hour.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your photos stay on your iPhone. Flashback has no account, no server and no ads.
• The app reads your photo library only to find photos by date.
• Nothing is uploaded, tracked or sold. The app doesn't even use the internet.
MADE FOR EVERYONE
• English, French, Spanish and Arabic, with full right to left layout in Arabic.
• Light and dark mode.
• Large text and screen reader support.
Flashback is a calm way to look back. Open it each morning and see what this day looked like, every year.

Fixed: tapping a photo on Today could open a different photo, often the one below it or the last one of the year, or do nothing at all. Now every photo opens when you tap it.
