A really thoughtful camera app for kids
The interface is simple enough for little kids to use on their own, while parents still have control over photo limits and settings. I also really like that there are no ads, subscriptions or tracking.

What's New in Kid Snaps
1.3.2
October 26, 2026
Bug fixes and polish: • Videos now save to your Camera Roll and share as videos • The parent lock falls back to your passcode if Face ID doesn't work • The daily limit now applies to videos too • Switching between Photo and Video keeps the selfie camera • Videos play with sound even when your phone is on silent • Renaming a kid renames their Camera Roll album too • A clear message, with a link to Settings, when camera access is off • Faster, smoother photo viewing • Removed the HDR switch (iOS handles HDR automatically) and the Strip Location Data option, which didn't reliably remove location
