## What is LE Viewer?

LE Viewer is a photo and video viewer for children and for people with special needs who find the full Photos app overwhelming or hard to use safely. It shows their photos and nothing else.

Everything is read-only. Photos cannot be deleted, edited, or shared, no matter what is tapped. The library stays exactly as it was.

FOR THE VIEWER
 - Albums, each with its cover photo and, if you choose, a color a non-reader can recognize
 - Tap an album to see its photos; tap a photo to see it full screen
 - Swipe between photos, pinch to zoom, and play videos and Live Photos
 - Works on iPhone and iPad

FOR THE CAREGIVER
Setup is inside the app, behind a press-and-hold on the gear and a simple arithmetic question, so a child cannot reach it.
 - Choose exactly which albums are visible; a hidden album is gone from the viewer entirely
 - Give albums colors so they can be recognized without reading
 - Pick the size of album names; it also follows the system text size
 - Have album names and photo dates read aloud on tap
 - Make the close button larger for anyone who finds it hard to hit

GUIDED ACCESS READY
Pair LE Viewer with Guided Access to lock the device to this app. Onboarding walks you through a Shortcuts automation so Guided Access starts the moment LE Viewer opens.

LE Viewer is intentionally minimal. There are no extra menus, no sharing buttons and no editing tools: just the photos and videos you have chosen to show.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 2.0 — 2026-09-18

LE Viewer now runs on iPhone as well as iPad.

Setup has moved into the app. Press and hold the gear for three seconds, answer a simple sum, and you can hide albums, give them colors, choose the album name size, and turn on read-aloud and the large close button. The LE Viewer section in the iOS Settings app is gone; everything you had set there carries over.

Each album now shows its cover photo, with its color as a ring around it.

Also in this release: swiping past the end of an album bounces instead of doing nothing, an album that has been emptied says so, Live Photos display at the right size, and album names follow the system text size.

LE Viewer 2.0 requires iOS 17.

### 1.5 — 2026-06-18

No release notes.
