I’ve lost all my photos which were valuable to me. One day they just disappeared.

### 1/5 — Lost all photos

*2024-05-21, version 6.0*

All the photos are blank white boxes now. I changed phones and this is what happened. I am on the latest app. I can’t export the photos as it says photo library permission but I gave the app full permissions.

### 3/5 — IPad Pro Support

App looks the same as on my iPhone. Used to have two different apps or at least two versions formatted correctly (for iPad, larger, and sort like iPhone, via date)..

I had this app years ago on another phone  and i recently downloaded it again to regain my pictures and it won’t restore my old pictures.
