Place is a private photo diary you can share with the people you actually care about. Not a feed. Not a group chat that buries everything by Friday. One place where a day becomes a few photos and a line of text, and where the people you choose can add theirs next to yours. YOUR LIFE, IN ONE PLACE Add a photo, write a line, done. Place turns quick captures into entries that feel like memories, not posts. Scroll back through a month and you'll actually remember it. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything starts as yours alone. Nothing is public, nothing is discoverable, and nobody can find you by name. SHARE ONLY WITH PEOPLE YOU CHOOSE Open a shared collection with your partner, your best friends, your family. Everyone adds their photos to the same place. Skip the group chat. Keep the memories. NO LIKES, NO FEED, NO STRANGERS There is no algorithm and no audience. Just your things and the people you said yes to. THE PHOTO-FIRST JOURNAL If you've tried to keep a journal and stopped, this is the one that sticks: a day takes seconds, and the photos do most of the writing.

Place Daily ($7.99/month or $39.99/year) is for people who just want a private daily photo diary.

Your feedback means a lot to us. • Small visual polish on the home screen. ### 1.1.4 — 2026-09-17 • Add videos to your posts as a block, right alongside photos and text. • Place now speaks Japanese and Portuguese (Brazil). • Long-press a profile picture to see it full size. • Fresh look for Home and Profile: new invite button, softer palette across collection covers, streak pill and empty states. • Faster start: a shorter sign-up (just your name and handle) and a cleaner welcome screen. • Publishing is instant: your post goes live right away while the safety check runs in the background. • Pro badge on AI blocks and gentler hints throughout. • Home, collections, timeline and friends stay up to date after every change. • Performance and stability: fixed a memory issue that could slow the app down over time, plus the latest platform updates. - Enhance: fix light, color and sharpness on any photo with AI, compare before/after with a slider, and keep it only if you love it (Place Pro). - Export any post as a PDF from the reader or your timeline — a keepsake you can print or share (Place Pro). - On this day: your own posts from 3 days, a week, a month and a year ago resurface on your profile. ### 1.1.2 — 2026-09-12 • Fixed an issue where the app could go blank right after publishing a post. • Collections: invited friends and pending invites now show up right away. • Creating a new collection now shows your friends first when inviting people, plus quick buttons to invite others by WhatsApp, Messages, or Instagram. • Fixed moving a post between collections, and made sure it stays visible when moved into a public collection. • Fixed importing shared content (like a TikTok) while Place was running in the background. • You'll now see a friendly notice when a new version of Place is ready. • Small polish to swiping back on Collections and to the contacts screen when finding friends. ### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-11 Publishing is much faster: the cover and visibility now travel with the post, and the content check runs in parallel. From tapping "Publish" to your post being live, up to 4 seconds less. • Import from Instagram or TikTok and the post's text arrives as a draft ready to edit. • Install Place from a link and the app takes you straight there on first open. • We only read the clipboard when iOS says it holds a link. • Posts inside a collection open from the reader again. • Invite friends now shows the official Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messages icons. • Tweaks to the welcome screens and the contacts step so the button always stays in view. • Fix when checking blocked profiles. ## Related topics [blogging writing](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/blogging-writing) · [blogging learning](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/blogging-learning) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
