## What is SafetyPhotos?

View photos or play videos in your photo library.
It works as an aid to the “Photos” app, but does not add / edit / delete except for saving / printing / sending copy images.

[Compatibility]
iOS 18.0 later (iPhone, iPad,  iPadMini, etc.)

[Feature 1: Video playback function]
In video playback, reverse playback using audio is also possible. If your device is in landscape orientation, you can play the left and right sides separately on a two-screen display for comparison.

[Feature 2: Copy function]
You can copy photos, but you can also stop playing the video and copy the images at that point.  Copied results can be saved, printed, sent to SNS, etc. with the share button.

[Feature 3: Slideshow function]
Not only photos, but videos can be also quickly slide-showed using an intermittent playback mechanism.
