## What is Flashback?

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.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.21 — 2026-11-08

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.

### 1.20 — 2026-11-04

New: reels. Select photos on Today and tap Reel, or pick Make a reel in the ••• menu. Each photo shows its date and year, with a fade, slide, zoom or flash between them. Share the video to Instagram, TikTok or anywhere. It's made on your phone, and your photos never leave it.

### 1.19 — 2026-11-02

New App Store pictures and small fixes behind the scenes.

### 1.18 — 2026-11-02

A design pass: more photos fit at the top of Today, calendar days are easier to read, Favorites and albums match the Today grid and show each photo's date, and the photo viewer header is calmer.

### 1.17 — 2026-11-01

No release notes.
