What's New in Redactor
1.5
September 22, 2026
NEW — Verified redactions After you export, Redactor re-reads the finished image and checks whether any text is still legible inside a redacted area. If something survived, it tells you exactly what — so you find out before you send it, not after. NEW — Smarter auto-detect Detection now targets individual words instead of whole lines, so redacting one email no longer blacks out the sentence around it. Card numbers are checksum-validated, which means far fewer false alarms on order and tracking numbers. NEW — Private in the app switcher Your screenshot is now hidden when you switch apps. NEW — See what was removed The export screen names the metadata stripped from your image: location, device, capture time. FIXED — An important privacy fix JPG exports could retain the original photo's metadata, including location. They no longer do. If you've shared JPGs from an earlier version, consider re-exporting them. ALSO • Blur and pixelate are now equally strong on any resolution, including high-res screenshots • Crop can be undone • Saved files now appear in the Files app under On My iPhone › Redactor • Drawing while zoomed in now works properly • Large photos no longer risk a crash on import
