## What is Fotomania?

Fotomania is your family's private photo library, hosted in Europe. Your photos and videos are backed up automatically, organised, found in a word, and they belong to you alone.

No reselling of data, no advertising, no advertising algorithm looking at your pictures. Our model is simple: a subscription, and we protect your memories. It is our only business.

AUTOMATIC BACKUP
Your photos and videos upload to Fotomania on their own, over wifi, or over 4G/5G if you choose. A setup assistant guides you step by step the first time. Once your photos are safe, free up room on your phone, never without your permission.

TIDY UP WITHOUT SPENDING HOURS
• Bursts: all your series of shots taken in a row, at once. Keep the best.
• Blurry photos: shaky, missed, taken in a pocket, spotted for you.
• Texts & papers: receipts, invoices, business cards, ID papers and screenshots sorted on their own.
• Duplicates: copies spotted, the best one kept.

MAKE YOUR MEMORIES SHINE
• Colourise an old black-and-white photo, enlarge a small one.
• Fix red-eye, blur a face before you share.
• Edit: crop, filters, adjustments, an Auto button, Live Photos included.
• Stabilise a shaky video.
Always as a copy: the original stays untouched.

FIND EVERYTHING, IN A WORD
Type "beach", "dog" or a first name: Fotomania finds them, no captions needed. Your photos are also grouped by face, by place on a map and by date. Every day, "On this day" brings back photos from years gone by.

WITH YOUR FAMILY
Shared albums with comments and likes. Share links protected by a password and an expiry date. With the Family plan, up to 5 people: each with their own account and private photos.

ONLY ON FOTOMANIA
• Genealogy: your family tree, with your photos linked to people and couples. Partial dates ("around 1930"), blended families, GEDCOM export.
• Events: your trips and celebrations placed on a calendar, their photos filed in on their own.

TRULY PRIVATE
A locked folder that only opens with your code or Face ID. Hosted in Europe, GDPR-compliant, with redundant backups: your photos never leave Europe.

BRING YOUR PHOTOS WITH YOU
Bring in a OneDrive, Google Drive or iCloud Drive folder from the app, your Google Photos or Apple archive from the website. Dates and places kept.

WHEREVER YOU ARE
iPhone, iPad, Android, browser and Mac (your photos in the Finder). A home screen widget and a built-in camera: a photo is backed up as soon as it is taken.

A HUMAN SERVICE
A real person answers you. No bot, no dead-end form.

SUBSCRIPTION
Fotomania works by subscription, with several plans depending on how many photos and people. The app requires an active Fotomania account.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.9.4 — 2026-10-28

Edit now works on Live Photos: your edit arrives as a new photo, the original keeps its motion. Blurring faces no longer freezes the screen. A video now stops when you leave the viewer. The “new version available” alert also shows when you come back to the app.

### 3.9.3 — 2026-10-23

New: Texts & papers — receipts, invoices, business cards, ID papers and screenshots sorted automatically, sensitive papers moved to the locked folder in one tap. Colourise an old black-and-white photo, enlarge a small one. Bursts and blurry photos spotted so you can tidy up. Edit reorganised: red-eye, face blurring. Landscape photo zoom fixed, no more backup notification on iPhone.

### 3.9.2 — 2026-10-17

New: a setup assistant. When you first sign in, Fotomania guides you step by step to keep your photos safe: photo access, backup, Wi-Fi or mobile data, photos stored on iCloud, OneDrive or Google, one-tap camera. Run it again anytime from the menu or Settings.
Fixed: the sign-out message displays correctly again.

### 3.9.1 — 2026-10-15

What's new
• Fotomania tells you when a new version is available, with a button to update.

### 3.9.0 — 2026-10-15

What's new
• Birthdays in "On this day": for the people recognized in your photos, using the birth date entered in your family tree.
• Shared albums: people allowed to edit an album can also change its name and description.
• A photo edited in another app (Photos…) is kept with its original instead of showing up twice.
• Import a Google Drive folder: paste its link and its photos and videos arrive in Fotomania, subfolders included, without duplicates.
• Import an iCloud Drive folder: pick it in Fotomania, or share it from the Files app.
• The Fotomania camera in one gesture: widget, long press on the icon, Lock Screen without Face ID, Control Center and Action button. How-to in Settings.
• Import: "Stop", "Resume" and "Cancel" now do exactly that.
• "On this day": every day is available, and each photo opens with its menus (share, download…).

Improvements
• More reliable backup: a photo already in Fotomania is no longer sent again.
• Clearer messages: failed sign-in, storage full, photo access denied or limited.
• Fewer unexpected sign-outs when you come back to the app.
• "Privacy policy" in the profile menu.
• Memories and Random photo widgets, texts and permissions translated into French and English.
